Betfair review: exchange betting actually better than traditional books
the transparency and control are real strengths, especially if you like tweaking positions live, but i find exchanges only truly shine when the market’s deep, like big football or tennis. niche props just end up as slow-motion roulette with extra waiting. if your edge is small, commission eats at your bankroll, especially over time. i keep both options open - mainly use exchanges for big events and trad books when i actually want to get set and move on. ever tried building a live dealer hedge to cover exchange holes? not perfect, but it scratches the control itch.
