“Hi, I’m Dow Jones, Sally’s spread betting accomplice.”
“When Sally was writing Bets and the City, I told her, ‘Your readers need a break from all that financial stuff! So tell them about ME, and all the fun we have hanging out with celebrities in Primrose Hill.’
Fortunately, she took my advice, so even if you’re not really interested in spread betting, the book’s a great read in a Bridget Jones meets Wall Street kind of way.
I'm in Sally's very best books right now. Click here and see the blog post dated April 23rd to find out why!

“Markets. They go up. They go down. How difficult can it be?”
Sally Nicoll begins her spread betting journey with magnificently
misplaced optimism. Join her on this rollercoaster ride to
hardened pessimist – and wised-up realist.
Funny, frank, factual
"Bridget Jones meets Wall Street”
"Bridget Jones meets Wall Street”
Should we be afraid that in the digital era, anyone with a broadband
connection and a few hundred pounds can gatecrash the elite world of City
traders – even if, like Sally Nicoll, they are numerically dyslexic?
Sally is looking for a source of extra cash to fund a sabbatical while she writes
a novel, and decides spread betting is the answer. She tries to open an
account with Finspreads – “their web site has the best colour scheme” – only
to discover she’s been credit blacklisted. Instead of being thankful for divine
intervention, she complains to the marketing department and is hired to write
an online trading blog.
Bets and the City is based on Sally’s enormously popular column for Finspreads. In between the funny bits, there’s some really useful information:
- Never take a holiday in Cornwall when you’re speculating on sterling against the dollar
- Why you should resist the temptation to be kind to your mother
- Sensible advice from the man who lost $10 million in a single trading session
- Why women make better traders than men
- The simple trade that enables you to turn your computer into a cash register
