Betfair is the world's largest peer to peer betting exchange.
We've had an account with Betfair for 4 years and can't imagine life as a dedicated punter without one! The choice of bets they offer in all sports is limitless -if you want to bet on it, it will be there. They'll even add a market you suggest if they think there'll be interest amongst punters!
Their website is very easy to navigate and accounts can be opened on line in minutes and bets placed at the touch of a button. It's just like being the bookie -you need never pick another winner, if you want to 'lay' what you think are other punters' losing bets, then you can make a living doing that.
