Note: Betfair Sports does not accept US players.
Betfair is amongst the largest and most respected gambling companies in the world. This is more than just our opinion as the Queen of England believed similar when she awarded Betfair the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the Innovation category back in 2003, and their second Queen’s Award in April 2008, this time for the International Trade category. In addition to praise from England, Betfair has also won several gambling readers polls and has been issued gambling licenses in the UK, Tasmania, Malta, Austria and Germany.

The innovation side of Betfair comes from the fact they do not operate as a traditional bookmaker. In fact their model is appropriately named a betting-exchange. Through this betting exchange, bettors are able to offer one another odds or accept odds posted by other members. Betfair then charges the winning bettor a 5% commission giving them effective odds odds of 1.985 (American Format: -102.5) as opposed to the 1.91 (American format -110 | Fraction 10/11) charged by traditional bookmakers.
The Betfair Exchange model gives players better odds, resulting in bigger wins or smaller losses. It takes a little practice to get used to, however once you get the hang of it, it would be silly ever go back to paying the now seemingly outrageous prices charged by traditional bookmakers.
To get started betting against others in the exchange, visit the Betfair website.
