Exchange Betting
Exchange betting allows you to cut out the bookmaker and bet directly against other people. which of course means that everyone gets better value as there is no bookmaker margin. In addition you are not up against expert odds makers as you can set you own and if anyone accepts then you have a wager! You can also trawl the site looking for odds that you think are good and accept bets from other people. It is like going to a traditional bookmaker and offering to place a bet only if he offers better odds. Your offer may not be matched immediately, if at all, but you can amend it at any point up to the time the market closes, once you see what odds are being matched. BETDAQ will calculate your potential returns, less commission, should your bet be accepted by someone else and win.
