This is a spread betting market predicting a team's dominance over their opposition.
SportingIndex will predict how many goals a team will beat the other by.
For example SportingIndex might make Arsenal favourites to beat Tottenham by 0.1-0.3 goals. Therefore, if you think Arsenal will win you might bet high (buy) at 0.3 for the stake of your choice, in this case, £50 a goal.
If Arsenal were to win the game 4-1, their winning margin (make-up) would be 3 goals. Had you placed your spread bet high at 0.3 you would have made 2.7 times your stake or £135. Here's how the calculation works: (3 - 0.3) x your stake = 2.7 x £50 = £135.
But, if Tottenham had won the game 1-0, the same bet would have lost you 1.3 times your stake. Again, here's how the calculation works: (-1 - 0.3) x your stake = -1.3 x £50 = -£65.
