Betfair is the largest online betting site in
the UK and undoubtedly one of the most successful
websites in Europe. We have managed to achieve
this enviable position because punters around
the world are looking for somewhere like Betfair
to place their bets.
What is Betfair?
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.
How is Betfair Different?
You can back or lay a bet. You can choose the
odds you want to play at Commission and Tax.
You can bet whilst the game is in play. Back or
lay When you "back" a selection (be it an individual,
a team, horse, dog or other), you are betting
that it will win. This is just like betting with
conventional bookies. When you "lay" it, you are
betting against it winning. For example, if you're
betting in a market on which team is going to
win the Premiership and you lay Man Utd, you offer
odds to other punters who wish to back Man Utd.
If Man Utd don't win, then you pick up the backer's
stake. If Man Utd wins, then you pay out. This
is what bookmakers traditionally do. You never
know who you are betting against, your privacy
and the confidentiality of your bets is maintained
by Betfair's secure site. BET £20 GET £20!
