Betfair Sportsbook Review
Visit Betfair Sportsbook
Updated June 16 2010
Reviewed by Michael
Betfair is an online sportsbook that takes the idea of online sportsbetting up a notch by offering not only great event coverage and a wide range of wagering possibilities, but also providing extras like a sports discussion forum, live scores, video feeds, betting tools, and quite a lot more. These extras turn Betfair into an online community of sports lovers, offering a one-stop-shop that provides everything a sports lover needs, all in one convenient location.
Events
The event coverage offered by Betfair is definitely above average. Event categories are access through a menu system on the left side of the screen. The main category that loads first is called “Popular Sports”, listing things like football, golf, and horse racing. Below that, an expandable list called “All Sports” shows what Betfair really has to offer – a massive selection of several dozen categories ranging from fishing and cycling to poker and chess. Players can choose favorite markets and place them in a third area for quick access, or they can use the integrated search box to go straight to the event they are after.
Bets
As with many internet sportsbooks, at Betfair the number of wagers offered depends quite a lot on the event. For major international football matches bettors will find several dozen odds and fixtures to choose from, while smaller events might only offer Over/Under or Back & Lay bets. Certain events will also offer Multiple bet coupons for Doubles and Trebles, offering nearly endless accumulator possibilities. For a quick overview of the bets open at any moment, just check out the main section of the sports betting homepage. Alternatively, click on the “Where is the Money?” link at the bottom of the left-side menu to see which odds are currently hot.

Customer Support
Getting help at Betfair is very easy. Bettors in the UK and Ireland can easily get help by telephone, using the freephone numbers provided on the Betfair website. Email support is also offered. There is no Live Chat, but an utterly massive online help system called “Betfair Solutions Directory” offers a huge range of information covering every aspect of the website – it’s the perfect place to start looking for answers.
Banking
The exact payment methods accepted by the Betfair cashier vary by country, but for the most part, the list includes most major debit and credit cards, plus NETeller, MoneyBookers, ClickandBuy, bank transfers, and in some areas, even PayPal. The minimum deposit amount is typically $10, and fees may apply in some circumstances. Withdrawals are normally free to process, and the minimum withdrawal amount is very low – for credit cards withdrawals, there is no lower limit at all.
Conclusion
The range of services offered by Betfair exceeds expectations. The basic sports betting elements are all very strong, but it’s the extras – the discussion forums, the sports news and results, the live video feeds – that help Betfair stand apart from the crowd. The one complaint that could be lodged against the site is that it’s a bit overwhelming visually, but this is a problem that goes away once a new player gets used to the site’s layout.
