Betfair is a multifunctional platform for gambling and sports betting enthusiasts. Betfair was originally known as a betting exchange. The difference between the two is that the exchange simply provides a platform for bettors to place bets and charges a percentage for doing so (Betfair is 5%), but does not risk its own money or create odds. In other words, on a betting exchange, bettors play against each other by placing their own odds, whereas on a bookmaker’s exchange they play against the bookmaker.
