- 10 Things You Do Not Know About Betting Exchanges

There is no doubt that the arrival of the internet betting exchange has changed the face of gambling for ever. No longer are we compelled to go to the bookmakers in order to place a bet.

An online betting exchange is a platform whereby bets can be traded between two or more parties. This provides many opportunities to the gambling community.

For example, did you know that :

- It is generally claimed that prices at the sport betting exchange are up to 20% larger than at traditional bookmakers.

- Betting exchanges offer a great variety of bets. The best example of something new, is the in-play or in-running bet. Punters have the opportunity to place their bets while the contest is actually taking place.

- The betting markets on exchanges range from sport to finance, from television games to political events.

- Another newcomer to the betting world is the opportunity to bet that something will not happen. This is called a Lay bet and is a wager that a particular competitor will lose.

- With a betting exchange you have the option of offering bets at odds you have chosen yourself. While this does not mean that they will always be taken up, it can mean that you will frequently get better prices than with a Bookmaker.

- You also have the choice to back or lay Place bets, contrary to the bookmakers, who only offer place bets if they are agents for the Tote.




- BETFAIR is by far the largest and most progressive betting exchange site in the world. It provides an excellent customer service, and it can be used by Internet or by telephone. Another favorite is BETDAQ, and these two are the backbone of the British exchange market.

- Trading is another type of bet you can do on a betting exchange. This is when you bet on both sides of an event, to create situations whereby one can either win or break even. It needs a lot of practice and quite a larger betting bank. But while one must spend a considerable amount of time in front of the computer trading per day, successful Traders claim it is highly profitable, at very small risk.

- Normally, betting exchanges are free to join and their only charges are a commission on net winnings. For example, if you are trading on horse racing and you have a back bet and a lay bet on the same horse, you are only charged commission on the net value of the two bets. ( e.g. if bet A wins you £20 and bet B loses you £15, you only pay a small commission on £5. )

- One of the best advantages of using a betting exchange is that your account will not be shut down because you have big winnings. In fact, betting exchanges will be pleased to see you win because they get their commission from your profits.

Happy Gambling,
