Full Betfair Bookmaker Review

Why Should I choose Betfair as my next online betting account?

Betfair began as an exchange but since the global success of that, they have also introduced Betfair Sportsbook, that works in much the same way as other online bookmakers.

The Betfair Exchange and Sportsbook are able to offer an enormous range of events and markets, for both pre-event and in-play betting

Both Betfair options also offer one of the most prolific suites of enhanced odds promotions and money-back specials.

We hope this Betfair Sportsbook Review offers you the most comprehensive guide to every aspect of the online bookmaker, from your first signing up process and getting the free bets, to withdrawal procedure, the Betfair Mobile App, Cash Out, Live Streaming, and more.

As this review is being written, there are 29 individual Sports available to bet on the sportsbook side, and 27 on the Exchange, including political betting, financials and eSports betting.

Betfair Football Betting

Betting on Football with Betfair gives you an almost unrivalled range of betting opportunities, from straight result betting to BTTS, and from number of corners to if a penalty will be awarded or even scored.

A typical English Premier League game will have up to 70 different betting markets with loads of options within those markets, you should always be able to find a market to identify an edge.

League of Ireland gets full Betfair betting coverage too, so there is always a market to find a bet for, and goals betting for the League Of Ireland is always popular.

Betfair Horse Racing

You should never miss out on a horse racing opportunity with every race meeting you can imagine covered. It's not just UK and Irish racing that's featured, there is American, Australian Asian and French meetings on offer. 

Betfair are also major sponsors of UK and Irish horseracing, so you can rest assured that by betting with Betfair, racing prize money is being helped each and every week.

Betfair Live Streaming in Ireland

If you like to watch your sport as you bet,  and you want to avoid the sometimes dangerous pop-ups of illegal streaming sites, then Betfair offers you a safe live stream of your favourite sports.

Typically if you have had a bet on the event, you can simply click the live stream button and watch the event you have bet on.

There are a range of sporting live streams, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Horse Racing Tennis, Snooker all feature, with more sports being added regularly, if you have had a bet on an event, you can often choose to watch the action live.

Warning: When on the exchange, be aware that the live stream may not actually be live, and therefore, the exchange markets will be ahead of the action you are watching.

Tread carefully, and it is not recommended to rely on the Betfair Live Stream for making in-play decisions on fast-moving sports like tennis, where you can be up to a couple of minutes behind what is actually happening.

What is the difference between the Exchange and the Sportsbook?

You may have heard reference to both the Betfair Sportsbook and the Betfair Exchange, and initially, this may seem confusing, well here is the answer

Betfair originally entered the market as the forerunner of Exchange betting. In the simplest form, it offered the punter the opportunity to act 'like' a bookmaker and 'Lay' bets. 

For Example, you may think that Red Rum won't win the Grand National whilst others think it will. You have the opportunity to take bets from other players who want to bet on the selection to win when you think it won't. If you have laid Red Rum on the exchange and the horse loses then you win the backers stake ( as a bookmaker would do).

The exchange is also used heavily for in-play trading.

Example: You back Liverpool to win a football match, and they score first, you are then able to lay them at a much shorter price than you backed them, thus creating a winning wager whatever the outcome. 

There are many guides in our 'Betting Strategy section to explain how to use the Betfair Exchange.

If this all seems a bit too complicated, then the Betfair SPORTSBOOK is for you, this operates just as a traditional online bookmaker would.

Cash Out at Betfair

Almost everyone knows about "Cash Out" now, whether with Betfair or a host of other online bookmakers.

This is the simple option of the trade explained in the exchange section above. Rather than having to work out what figures to lay and at what odds, the Cash Out button does it for you.

You have the option to "Cash Out' your bet at any point in play, (Except when the market is suspended for various reasons). This will either mean cashing out for a profit or a loss before the result is known.

You may have placed a football accumulator for three teams to win on Saturday, after 75 minutes, if all three teams are winning but one game is looking close and could go the wrong way, you would have the option of cashing out your bet to ensure a profit regardless of what happens.

It is known for people to cash out for a huge profit, only for the original bet to go against them meaning they would have lost.

By the same token, sometimes, it may be that your bet is losing, and you will be able to take a bit of your stake back before losing it all, but beware, sometimes this can work against you too, in that you take a loss only for a game to turn around and the bet ending up being a winner. This can be annoying.

There is also the option for partial cash out on the sportsbook where you can Cash Out only part of your bet, to ensure some profit, and then gain even more if your bet wins

Play around with Betfair Cash Out on small stakes to begin with to get a feel for how it works. It is available on most sports, events and markets but not all, so be sure to check.
