    Advantages Advantages No middleman means better odds. Low risk trading opportunities

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can take a little while to get your head round the exchange format

    Or so goes the advertising slogan.Betfair is not a bookmaker but an exchange site. It is able to offer significantly better prices than traditional bookies as it is literally made up of Joe Public betting against each other. The other significant difference is that you can actually bet against, as well as for, something happening. It is modelled on the stock exchange and offers much wider options for the bettor. ‘Gambling’s for fools’. Old moleface may be correct with his immortal line from the Ace of Spades, but Betfair offers the option to trade at much lower risk than outright gambling ... more

    Well my next review, is somewhat different to the one's I normally do, this review is more on a gambling theme, with a detailed review of one of the biggest online gambling sites , betfair.com. Ive been a strong and solid member of betfair for over a year now, and I would actually consider myself to be a solid pro gambler, in the sense that I have had some really big, big payouts. Hopefully this informative review, will educate people about the gabling site, how to register and how to make the most of gabling tips, whilst also aware them of the fact that gambling is addictive and that caution ... more

    Advantages Advantages Set you own odds, more bets available, live betting right up to the last minute

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High commission charges, fees for depositing money

    This is my favourite website and also the one I use most often - almost everyday in fact. Betfair, as its name suggests, is a place where you can bet on various events but they are NOT a bookmaker. The concept of Betfair is quite unusual in that you bet against other punters rather than against the bookmaker. This is called "Exchange Betting". Of course, Betfair have to make money from this so any profits you make from your betting will incur 5% commission. This is a little high in my opinion. When I was using Flutter.com (another exchange betting website but now defunct) the commission was ... more

    Advantages Advantages Being able to lay aswell as back.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Betfair.com is a player-to-player betting site where instead of pitting your wits against a bookmaker, you take on another punter. Betfair's role in the setup is to create a forum for these bets and their commision is about 5% of the winner's profits, but this can change to 3% dependant on how much you stake. The first thing you will notice when logging on to the site is just how smooth everything is: Betfair makes extensive use of Flash The home page is full of information and yet doesn't appear to be over cluttered, although sometimes annoyingly does not appear. On the left hand side you'll ... more

    Advantages Advantages Winning

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Losing

    Betfair was launched in June 2000, and since has become the largest betting exchange on the internet. So what's a betting exchange and how does it differ to your average high street bookmakers? A betting exchange is where you bet against other people rather than directly against the bookmakers. Aside from Normal betting to "Win" what else is different..... - You can bet to "Lay" which means you are betting something to lose. - Betting "In play" which means you can bet on something in real time, whilst the event is taking place, meaning the odds are changing all the time. - Lay your bets in ... more
