The way I see it they are useful in certain circumstances and allow people to take geared bets or to derisk elements of their portfolio quickly. Therefore they have a genuine function which is useful.
The problem seems to be that people have an issue with the house making money from providing the service and preying on people with gambling tendencies who will always find new and interesting ways to spuck their dough.
Which is a bit rich for poker players to be moaning about imo.
Marketing these products to gamblers is akin to allowing your local friendly heroin dealer a pitch at Narcotics Anonymous. It doesn't sit well with me."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Quit spread betting in 1996 after betting on Scotland to score a goal within 110mins IIRC in UEFA championship at £10 per min. Had a get out when Scotland awarded a penalty in 2nd game against England (after 0:0 v Holland) but Gary McAllister missed it and Scotland lost 2:0. They got a goal in last game against Swiss at end of 1st half but cost me over £1,000.
Still now get an odd letter and even phonecall from 'spreadex' asking if I am coming back ......
Sure is fun and can make loads but jeez it can hurt you summit bad as well

Its mad how things can change in a five min phone call.
was talking to himself the other night and we both agreed the long times apart ie 4 months ish is taking its toll, its really not worth it. I dont think we can do much more of it. He is heading back wed and we havent had one night on our own yet. Its depressing no money is worth that.
Then out of the blue he gets a call from his old boss and best friend asking will he go to Qatar in the next few days. 8 weeks on 2 weeks off and home to us he has till 10 am tomorrow morning to make up his mind. All happened so quick I am in total shock here, very strange day indeed.
If I get my dream job fingers crossed it will be awesome.Her sky-ness

Cheers for the through reply Richie.
Originally posted by RichieM View PostI would clarify first off if the recruiter sent in your expected salary as what you are looking for. If not why not and what if any level did they put down. If this has been done than the company can have no big surprise that you are expecting what you are expecting. 90% of offers I get are exactly on the money so it is the standard for them to know before they call you for interview.
I think basically the position was with the recruiter before I was. I met them last friday and they thought I fit this current position perfectly. When I met them, I gave a range for expected salary, and she jotted done the mid value as a figure.
This is when they told be about the role, said they are looking to pay $X, which was a decent bit below the mid value she wrote down. But I decided to settle on that for the role, the initial offer was under by the same amount again.
Since you have the offer and they have agreed to meet you halfway they obviously want you which does give you the stronger negotiating position. More importantly the guy who has decided to hire you does not care about the money side if its a big company as a rule and this is finance and hr counting the pennies so internal pressure will help you as generally the line managers get what they want.
I would stick to your guns but ask the recruiter how long they have been working with this company and check to see how senior your recruiter is. If they have been at it for a few years they will let you know when the offer is going to be pulled and give you a final call to make if they are really green than be carefull.
I got a message from a guy I know in a separate division of the company saying
"insider info: looks like we'll be colleagues soon"
But he might be referring to the initial offer.
What I would advise is sending an email to your recruiter outlining why you got the offer. This will be technical experience, culture fit for the company, extra qualifications etc etc and also that you have come down from whatever already to the expected level and wont go any lower. Keep it well spaced and easy to read points. The reasons for this is they can either send it direct to the client or they can use it to have all the info to close easily on hand. I generally get my candidates to send me this after final rounds to help get the offer in and close it out after.
Hopefully I get a call at 11am ish.
