The Sunday Times revealed the publicly traded bookmaker was keen to add spread-betting to its suite of products, but it had to back out from a £40m deal to buy the Irish spread-betting company after its stocks crashed following the passage of the UIGE Act back in October. WorldSpreads is now on the market looking for another suitor.
