Cantor Sport are part of the huge Cantor Fitzgerald corporation who are massive in the Financial Spread Betting market and now offer a comprehensive Sports Spread Betting operation. They offer a great range of bets in all sports and have a very comprehensive website. However if you don't already have an account it can be a real hassle to open one and some of our friends have actually given up when faced with the list of information that Cantor require. If you are prepared to put the effort in, they offer a great service but maybe it's easier in the short term to go elesewhere.
Range Of Bets - Cantor offer markets in all sports with great range of bets available in the live TV events
Website - Cantor have a neat website where you can view your account and see live prices. They also have a useful sports diary which gives the dates of all of the major sporting events for the year
Telephone Dealing - The dealing lines are manned from 9.30am each day and remain open until live TV sporting events are over. We've always found the staff to be helpful and polite.
Customer Services - Cantor offer a dedicated Customer Services helpline and email support if needed. The staff on the phone are usually helpful although we have had to wait for email reponses for longer than`we would have liked in the past.
Incentives - For some reason Cantor don't offer an incentive to open an account which is something that the offer 3 firms all offer. This is very disappointing

Summary
We don't use Cantor as often as Spreadex or Sporting Index probably more out of habit than anything else. As we have already mentioned the whole account opening process was a little overly complicated from the outset, so whilst we certainly wouldn't want to dissuade you from opening an account with Cantor, you may find the process easier with one of the other firms. However if and when you do get an account opened, the whole set up is first class but the lack of incentives to do so are also a little off putting.
