Spreadbetting on an index

[Iron Condor]

Is is possible to bet against the index? I am using bullbearings.co.uk to play with spreadbetting and can place bets on individual stocks, but what about the entire index?

TIA

Open an account with IG Index (www.igindex.co.uk)

If you day trading, bet using the daily index bets.

If you holding for weeks or months use the index futures bets.

Bullbearings isn't that good for demoing a lot of stuff. I recommend GFT, get a demo account first and learn on that. Try not to risk more than 2% of your account on any one trade.
