Launched in 2000, Betfair has become one of the leading online gambling companies by providing the largest betting exchange on the market. Betfair's unrivalled betting exchange lets punters bet against each other, with Betfair taking a small percentage of the stakes - essentially eliminating the role of the traditional bookmaker.
Betfair's system is simple to grasp and efficiently implemented via its well-structured website. Members can bet on a range of events at odds that they choose, betting either for (backing) or against (laying) an outcome, Betfair then matches the bet to a punter betting for the opposite outcome. Therefore, although Betfair's sports book is not the broadest on the web, what it lacks in breadth it more than makes up for in depth - with punters setting the bets themselves, it means that you'll find something to cater for every type of betting fan.
