Betfair
Betfair was created by Andrew Black and Edward Wray in 1999 and has became the world's leading betting exchange. Betfair offers a whole load of extra betting choices as you are betting against other people and can either 'back' or 'lay'.
When you are 'backing' you are betting that something will happen but with Betfair you can also bet on something not happening which is called 'laying'. When you are laying you are acting as a traditional bookmaker.
If you want better odds than are currently available, you can place an order for
a better price, but be realistic because there has to be somebody prepared to
lay the bet at those odds, and vice versa.
Take a look at the odds before an event and you will see them change as Betfair members back and lay their bets. The odds often improve nearer to the off as the number of people in the market increases.
Also for peace of mind Betfair has a whole host of security details to keep your details safe. All your details are encrypted and are only sent over the internet once, when you register your card details. They are then stored in a secure server and remain encrypted to add extra security.
On top of that Betfair offers various sign-up free bets and also runs a refer and earn scheme which can bring you £20 everytime you refer somebody. You can currently sign up for a new account with Betfair using the link below to claim an amazing £10 free bet. All you have to do to claim your free £10 bet from Betfair is open a new account and match a bet for £10 on the exchange and Betfair will credit your account with £10 for free.
Betfair also now isn't just about sports betting, there are various games to play and also you can play at the Betfair casino or try your hand at the Betfair poker tables.
