Betting Reviews
Overtime we have bet with all these bookmakers that appear below. We thought we would compile a review of their services and products to give new and current punters an inner understanding of all their features, introductory offers, functionality, payout services etc.
Betfair
Betfair is the only exchange betting service available to Australian Punters. Betfair if you are new to their style of service offer the punter an opportunity to play punter or bookmaker. Clients have the option to back or lay whether it be a Sporting Team, Player, Horse or jockey you either think will win or lose. Once a bet is matched whether laying or backing your bet is confirmed and you are in the market. Betfair is an international company and it’s global, but more importantly local popularity makes it very advantageous for all forms of punter and layer. For example it wouldn’t be uncommon for $100,000 to be traded on a Bairnsdale Maiden on a Monday which makes it great if you wish to lay or back a horse in such an event. For greater convenience, they have recently introduced an SP product and Tote service for all Australian Horse, Dogs and Trot Betting. The tote service is good in the respect that it’s available to you, so that you can take advantage of any better odds or if you wish to place an exotic bet. How Betfair generally works is that you are placed in a market with other punters where you shop around until you reach an agreement on price, Betfair then take a commission of between 3 and 5% on your winning bets. The commission rate is determined by how much you use the service and the size of your wins whether backing or laying. Each time you bet whether you win or lose you earn points and this is the way you reduce the commission rate. It’s not bad starting out at 5% considering the Tab strip over 15%.
A Betfair account is a no-brainer for a semi-professional, professional punter. And now with the greater use of the exchange service amongst more Australian Punters and the additional convenient services such as SP and Tote Prices a Betfair account should have much greater appeal to the greater punting market now.
As far as a service is concerned the payout “between bets” is the quickest of all services, so if your next bets are determined by pace in which you most recent bets are settled Betfair are the best at this. The Opening offer is quality, if you are completely new to the service the free bets help. It’s the kind of service you perhaps should study for an afternoon, before you rip into it to get an idea on how the exchange works and how other punters use the service.

Pro Tip
If you are half serious about the races you need a Sports Acumen with there Best Fluctuation service. For horses 8-1 or under Best Fluc, generally this is a better option than even best tote.

The advantage over Sportsbet here is that you don't need to place internet bets before 12pm.
