Description
|
In 2000, Betfair came into being, and claimed the initiative in the exchange betting market. With a 90% share of this expanding market, Betfair has revolutionised sports betting in the UK. Its 100,000 users and £1.5 billion turnover mean that anyone interested in exchange betting should look to Betfair.
Exchange betting is a new concept that has taken the gambling world by storm. Instead of laying odds, Betfair simply provides an exchange in which bettors lay odds for each other. The gambler can therefore either ‘lay’ a bet of up to £5,000 at any odds he chooses, or ‘back’ some or all of a bet that has already been laid.
Despite being UK-based, Betfair offers a huge variety of sports, including some as obscure as bandy, hurling, darts and trotting, as well as all the major British and American sports.
Betfair is the company at the forefront of the exchange betting revolution. The outstanding odds available more than make up for the limited choice of bets and the occasionally fiddly interface.
