NFP and rumors around

This NFP was no different than any other. Its simple : use the right broker, don't ever place straddles prior to the news, and follow the market reaction. There is no reason not to make 30 to 50 pips fairly safely. It just takes patience and knowing when to execute. Don't blame your broker (except Oanda in this case) for you failing to have a successful plan. I hear this every NFP and it amazes me people don't know how there platform will perform.

Really that large?

I'm trading cable at that time so I didn't know the real-time spread for EUR. I got the figure from Oanda's spread website. Now I checked back the website and found that I was wrong because the chart showed 15pips spread.
The chart I'm guessing has a fixed y-range so the spread can not be properly represented by the chart. I did watch the eur/usd make the 25pip spread but the chart maxes out at 15. The pound spread appears to have left the chart as well.

Know your broker? Yeah right, they all change the rules every month.
