BETFAIR THE WAY TO THE PUNTERS PARADISE
Betfair is without doubt the biggest thing to happen in the racing world since the opening of betting shops in May 1961.
It may even be said that it is a bigger event(for punters)with the 'in running'punter coming to the fore,or the laying of your selection back while your bet is in a winning posisition.How many times have we had the acca running on,only to be let down with the last selection getting beat a short head,well this no longer has to be agony for us punters with the lay button to our rescue.
Its not only the horse racing punter who can benefit from this nearly every event is 'IN PLAY' on Betfair and the football punter has never had it so good,with so many active markets,from the overs/unders market,next goal etc.So if there is an early goal in the game and your old style bet is down,dont despair 'in running' on Betfair is here.
The amount of variety on each sport is second to none,us punters have never had it so good.There is a new breed of punter out there nowadays,known as traders,who get themselves in a decent posistion on their bet and 'trade out' with a profit on any outcome,known on the forums as greening out.One final point which is a major plus,you know with Betfair you are going to 'Get On' and not be told sorry sir you can have X amount at that price and the rest at SP.
Its not just the gambling side of Betfair that is good for their members,the forums can be enlightening and at times colourful.The new betting shop character has arrived at Betfair Forums.You can spend many an hour chuckling away at some of the comments on the forum but mostly you can get some great nuggets of information from some posters,you will also find 99% of the forum posters are helpful and always willing to give you advice.So YES the new 'betting shop' community has truely arrived.
Betfair has done alot for the horseracing game that is without question,with some great sponsorship/bonus deals including 'The Betfair Million' won in 2007 by the great Kauto Star.
We must also applaud Betfair with it's openess to the authorites of racing/sports(sometimes even before the race has been run)to help if anything within a race/sport looks dodgy(to use an old betting shop term)
Betfair has not gone unnoticed even amongst Royalty winning two Queens Awards for Enterprise 2003 and 2008.
Without doubt Betfair is here to stay and if you have not 'joined up' yet you are truely missing out on something which in centuries to come will be looked upon as one of the great inovations of British sports/business.
