Betfair.com
Betfair.com is the world's largest sports betting exchange. Betfair.com online betting exchange receives over one million bets a week and has an annual turnover in excess of £2.6 billion.
Betfair.com claims that their odds are on average 20% better than those offered by traditional bookmakers - in my view that's not correct - they are 2-3% better and that advantage is usually lost in their commission charges.
Still, Betfair.com is a competitive place to find a good price and should be considered when you are checking odds. If you're into betting against the public favorite then you can often get a very good deal!
Betfair.com is not a conventional bookmaker and the "betting exchange concept" takes a little time to understand, however, once you "get it" we are sure that you will consider Betfair.com a good addition to your bookie options.
The minimum bet at BetFair.com is 2 GBP with no maximum specified. The currencies supported at Betfair are: AUD, CAD, SGD, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, NOK, SEK, USD. (Languages supported: English, German, Italian, Cantonese, Danish, Mandarin, Swedish). Note: USA residents can not join Betfair.
