news with spread betting

I'd like to know if someone uses spread betting broker to trade during news, with this kind of trade we are not facing lack of liquidity and huge spread widening (theoretically).
Do you think is better to use a traditional broker or a spread betting broker.
Thank you

think about how a spread betting company works. Just like the bookies, they only make money when you lose. If you consistently make money from them they will shut down your account. I used to trade on ig index making quite frankly stupid money off them. Needless to say I've withdrawn all my funds now

I've used IGIndex too, but not for the news. I've spoken to people who have tried them during news times and they all said they slip the orders really badly.

Why on earth would anyone want to bet with IG ? Their spreads are so wide you'd need to be pretty desparate.....
