Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Every new trader needs this bookI started reading Bets in the City the same time I started my adventure into the world of Forex. Forex is a serious business but the book helped me keep my sense of humour, get over my losses and to keep trading. Not only is it a hilarious book but you learn so much without realising you are learning. I do hope Sally brings out a sequel. Rating: - 5/5Unless you're a humourless, pompous professional spread better (no not all pros are humourless and pompous) you'll probably enjoy this book. You won't actually learn how to successfully spread bet by reading it, but that so obviously wasn't ever it's intention. Yes you will hear about some classic early mistakes that many fledgling betters make. You'll see some clear examples of both how easy it is to loose money and just how much you can loose overall, without proper planning and risk management. For that I believe it's a worthy read for anyone who is thinking about spread betting as a hobby. It may even put you off completely, which may be for the best as sadly lots of people do loose lots of money spread betting. However what it is for the most part is a light, well written, very funny and irreverent look at spread betting. Treat it as such and you'll be having a good read. Of course a sense of humour is a prerequisite. It seems too many 'pros' lost theirs somewhere along the way. And so I cling to what's left of mine ever more tightly. Enjoy Rating:  - Utter nonsense...Oh, if only we all had an aged relative who'd conveniently kick the bucket just in time to leave us the money to bankroll our trading. The people who've posted 4 and 5 star reviews on here must have VERY low standards. It's drivel, it's wannabe fantasy and it's not even well written or remotely amusing. Went straight in the bin. Save your money and buy a decent trading book - or invest in rat poison to bump off those pesky old aunts and uncles, folks!! (Incidentally, I've checked out Sally's blog, she's appears to be strictly a nickel and dime "pound a tic" punter, hardly inspires confidence, does it)? Rating:  - Good Place to StartThis is very easy and fun to read and a good way in to the topic if you're thinking of dipping a toe into the water. I read through once quickly and then went through again marking the key trading info. with a pencil. Highly recommended as a starting place. Rating: - It's a MUST!!!Having been spread betting for around a year and reading more technical jargon than you could shake a stick at, i found this book an absolute breath of fresh air. I wish i had found it before i started trading because it would deffinately have led me in the right direction sooner. Sally was brilliant throughout.
