IG Sport is a division of IG Financial and was launched way back in 1993 -making it one of the oldest firms in the UK.
If they were on Mastermind, then their specialist subject would be 'In-Running Football' where they have a massive 200 markets! They also have a healthy 35 on live rugby and 23 on live American Football.
As with most of the spread firms IG's telephone dealers who take bets within seconds and are very knowledgable.
