Spread betting is a serious weapon in every punter's armoury, but the volatility of this particular betting medium can scare off many a fixed-odds punter. However, there is an easy way in, thanks to Sporting Index's little sister, BetHiLo.

On first glance, BetHiLo looks virtually identical to the Sporting Index site, and that's because it works in virtually exactly the same way. The market coverage is the same, the theory behind how to place your bets is the same, and the way the site pays out is the same. The main difference is the stake levels are that much lower.
