Betfair review - Who are they?

Betfair revolutionised the betting industry when it was launched in the summer of 2000. Based on the New York Stock Exchange model, the exchange allows punters to bet at odds set by other punters rather than the bookmaker itself. Betfair's bookmaking model results in odds which, according to one study, are on average more than 20 per cent better than those offered by conventional bookmakers. See the Compare Best Odds Betting Exchange page for more information.
