Betfair — FAQs

What is a betting exchange?+

A betting exchange lets you bet against other punters rather than the bookmaker. You can back (bet for something to happen) or lay (bet against it). Betfair takes a small commission on winnings.

Are Betfair odds better than traditional bookmakers?+

Often yes, particularly on major markets. Because prices are set by the market rather than a bookmaker's margin, exchange odds are frequently superior — especially on popular horse racing and football events.
