    I am looking to use spread betting to invest long-term in a financial market like the US 500 instead of investing directly in an EFT to avoid tax (which in Ireland is 41%). I am looking to do this without using leverage i.e. bet what I can afford to lose (always keeping my deposits matching my notional value). What risks apart from market fluctuations are there? If I bet in futures (force open) (not daily DFB), will that market always remain open and liquid? Is there any concern with counter-party risk with IG? I would look to re-invest profits and additional savings on a regular basis (maybe 6 months) by closing the position and opening a new trade. The reason for this is the minimum bet might be too high in notional value to simply make an additional bet on top of the open one. Is there anything I need to be cognisant of here?

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
