Betfair is a very different kind of betting site. The company was founded in 2000 and its headquarters are located in London. They have a normal bookmaker, but the product which I will review is their betting exchange. It is a very special service, because it does not work in the same way like the other betting sites. The bets are exchanged between people through sophisticated software, but the result is a very simple and clean design for the user. The betting exchange charges small commission on winning bets to cover their services, but considering the odds are the best you will find online you still win more money than in a bookmaker. Betfair is especially good for bettors who bet big as there are no limits imposed on winning accounts.
- One of the reasons you might want to choose Betfair is the odds, simply the best in the industry.
- The site is used by millions of people around the world, safety and security are on a high level.
- At Betfair you can back and lay a certain outcome. Back works like in any normal bookmaker, such as you back a draw between Chelsea and Liverpool. You will win the bet if this match draws. Lay is doing exactly the opposite of backing, lets say you want to lay the draw in this match. You will win the bet if this match does not end as a draw.
- The Betfair live betting allows you to bet on a diverse range of sports. All major events are covered, no matter the sport.
- Another good side of Betfair is that you can use the bookmaker in case you don't like betting exchanges. There is also poker and a very good online casino. I spend a lot of time in the casino in between matches.
- The payment options are: credit or debit card, bank transfer, neteller, skrill and others.
- The live streaming service offers a good quality video. The most streamed sports are football, tennis, basketball, horse racing and greyhounds.
