Range of Bets - Fantastic range of bets in all sports and live televised sporting events
Events offered include: American football, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, gaelic sports, golf, greyhound racing, horse racing, ice hockey, motor racing, politics, rugby, snooker, soccer, speedway, tennis and weather specials -such as coldest day of the winter!
What Else Is There? - A dedicated Irish website and 'Bet On The Move', which allows punters to use their mobile phones to make bets, check markets and view existing open bets.
Website - Really impressive and easy to use -you can view your account, make bets and view prices in all markets 24 hours a day. Our only complaint would be that the site sometimes undergoes maintenance at 3am -just when we are watching live sport from the states and having a lazy browse!

Customer Service -By telephone or email, we have always found Sporting Index to be very prompt and efficient when dealing with any queries.
Incentives - Open a Sporting Index account, place 5 bets and they will give you £100 cash*
Where to view prices:

Summary:
If you want to give spread betting a go, there is no better firm than Sporting Index with whom to have an account. The fact that they offer a £200 total goals bet after 5 bets is one good reason, but the tremendous and imaginative range of bets offered along with superb customer service make Sporting Index the best around.
