The Definitive Guide to Betting Exchanges

Not since the legalisation of betting shops in 1961 has anything hit the UK gambling scene with as much force as the arrival of the betting exchange. From small beginnings in 2000, to more than GBP 23 million traded on a single cricket match in January 2005, Betfair - the dominant exchange - can now arguably be called the world's largest internet betting site. Punters, professional and casual, love it - and bookmakers hate it. But whatever they say, person-to-person betting is here to stay. This book is the essential publication aimed at helping you to avoid the pitfalls and make the most of this new and vibrant form of betting.
