Betfair

Betfair is one of the world’s best known operators due to the simple fact that it is entirely different from other betting companies. Over the years, BF has become a popular betting exchange , while also offering the services of a traditional bookmaker. They are a part of the Paddy Power Betfair plc and begun offering their sportsbook in 1999. After their first successful year, they made their entrance to the online markets and quickly found themselves at the top of the betting industry. Their largest player base come from the UK market and they also have dedicated players in Italy and Spain as well.

What is sure to excite every bettor, is the huge variety of offered sports and markets. Many alternative bets and events are available, while Betfair has also become the first choice of horse races bettors. There are other important factors that separate Betfair from any run of the mill bookies. Only Beftair will allow you to act as a bookie, as well as take the chance to sell or to trade your bets and do tons of other things. You might be wandering how does the Betfair exchange work. It is the fact that Betfair operates as a marketplace or a stock exchange. A member will set the odds at  which he wishes to buy a selection (i.e. a home win @ 2.00 odds) and if other players consider the odds profitable, they will counter his prediction by buying the exact opposite market (draw or away win @ 2.00 odds). This enables the user to act as both the punter and bookmaker. What is also very important, is the fact that there are not any betting limits and you can also sell your bets to other punters in order to guarantee your winnings. If you are a more experienced trader you can use certain advanced software that will trade your bets for you. Moreover, BF offers the best tournament winner and correct score odds, given that the Betfair commission is often, one third less compared to other bookmakers, while their asian handicaps are easily considered the highest.

Of course, some of the most useful services, such us cash out and live streaming (you have the chance to watch full in play horse races), are available at Betfair’s sportsbook and the Betfair.com mobile app. The most common payment methods for deposits and cash-outs are accepted. Transactions can be made using credit cards, Neteller, Skrill, Clickandbuy, PayPal and many more. All Betfair deposit methods are free of charge on most of these methods while the same applies for withdrawals that are complete in virtually no time. If you like to wager on other events than sports betting, you can find a multitude of casino, poker, arcade games, bingo and exchange games here as well as promotions such as the well know Betfair cash race.
