“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!
The ideal book for the winner in your life!

“I've made every mistake in the book – so that you don't have to!”

"When I started spread betting, almost three years ago, I hunted high and low for a book that spelled out in plain English exactly what was involved and how to make money.

No such book existed, and as a result, like most beginners, I had to learn by trial and error - with the emphasis on some pretty expensive errors.
As time went on, I discovered what separates the winners from the losers - and what you have to do to make profits. Hopefully, Bets and the City will help you quickly master the learning curve, because once you get the hang of it, spread betting can be really exciting. Especially when you're winning.

Basically, I've made every mistake in the book so that you don't have to.

Alternatively, if you're a successful trader already, you can read Bets and the City and feel quietly superior.

And if your eyes glaze over at the thought of all those numbers, just skip the financial bits and enjoy the story!”
