Comments: The leading exchange site that removes the need for a bookmaker and pitches customers against each other. With lower market percentages the odds are nearly always bigger but do remember there is a comission to pay on any winnings (5% standard). There’s an incredible array of betting markets to choose from giving you the oppotunity to back (or lay) on just about any sport or event you can think of. With in-running betting available on most markets there’s never a dull moment on Betfair!

The site is clean and well laid out with easy to navigate menu’s and sub menu’s but beware, it can all be a bit bewildering for a newbie.

Comments: It’s a very nice looking site which is well laid out but is very heavy on football betting with a whole host of advertising and odds available from the Sports home page.  All SP bets on horse-racing are now settled at BlueSQ starting odds which they claim beat the official SP more often than not.
