Quick Hypothetical Legal Question

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 2007-12-06 11:17:26

So trading on insider info is illegal, I think everyone knows that, but what about Spread Betting? Is it covered by the same law, or is it just a free for all?

hmm good question. as far as im aware, it wouldnt be covered because i think insider trading is specific to stock purchases and sales. though could be a similar situation to kieran fallon allegedly race fixing as its a bookmaker involved.
