Betfair
is the world's leading online betting exchange, a concept
it has pioneered. Driven by cutting-edge technology, Betfair
enables punters to choose their own odds and bet against
each other, even after an event has started. Betfair processes
5 million transactions a day and more than 300 bets a
second.
All bets on Betfair have been placed there by users
who either want to have a bet in the normal way (back),
or offer odds to other punters (lay). Bets are matched
between people with opposing views. So you can either
back your favourite horse or if you think a horse is
overpriced or a donkey, then you can lay the horse to
lose! So if you can't seem to pick a winner, you can
always lay the horses.

Betdaq
has taken Betting Exchanges to another level with its
unique features and bets. It is now possible to put
an expiry time on a bet (if it has not been matched)
at the time of placing the bet. Each Way and Multiple
bets are also possible, even across different sports.
You can now place Doubles/Trebles/Yankees/Super Yankees

Apart from that, our verdict is that Betdaq will give
Betfair a run for its money for the number 1 spot amongst

Victor
Chandler Bookmaker was formed in 1946 and is a major
landbased bookmaker in the United Kingdom and Ireland
with hundreds of high street outlets. Victor Chandler
now has customers in over 70 countries across the world.
Excellent customer support available 24/7 via freephone
telephone. Wide range of US, UK and European sporting
events. Some interesting exotic bets but we are unsure
how much interest there is in the "Will the Italian
Government ban Interent gambling sites" wager. Well,
if you can't pick a winning team or a horse, perhaps better
luck on the Italian Government??? Good coverage of US
horse racing tracks and NFL. Otherwise, the main focus
is on the UK and European markets. >

and first past the post even if your horse gets demoted
by the stewards. Currently Blue Sq offer a £25
