Betfair.com Review
Betfair is the world's leading betting exchange, a concept it pioneered. All bets on Betfair are placed there by users, who either want to bet for a selection or outcome (lay). Bets are matched between people with opposing views. In addition to the exchange Betfair has an establed games portfolio, including Betfair Poker, Betfair Casino and a number of exchange-enabled games.
Betfair truly is a pioneer in the online betting field - technically not a sportsbook but a betting exchange, it ranks as one of the best online betting choices. This is due to the high selection of sporting events offered, the highly competitive odds offered (often better than most sportbooks), the ability to set your own odds and either bet for or against an outcome, and the live in-play bet opportunities on many sporting events.
Furthermore, customer service at Betfair is great, payouts are fast, and there is a wide variety of deposit/withdrawal methods.
Overall, one of the best choices of the online bettor!
Pros: Almost everything - Some of the best odds on many events (especially popular ones), instant betting with the virtually unlimited betting limits owing to the number of users betting, live in-play betting on many events, live video streaming of many sporting events, great payment and payout choices, great interface and easy to use.
