Betting Exchanges will without a doubt be the future for betting on racing or sports through the internet. They allow punters to bet against other punters just as the buy and sell orders are placed on the stock exchange. This form of betting is now increasing in big percentage jumps every month in the UK via sites such as Flutter and Betfair. Click on the logo below and take up the offer of £10 in your account and play on the UK races just to get the feel of how this brilliant system operates. Competition is tough and Flutter is pulling out all stops to try to catch Betfairs turnover by only taking a 2.5% commission from the winnings only, while you will constantly get over the official bookmaker fluctuations.
In the
last 3 years that The Betting Ring has operated it has steadfastly refused
to align itself with bookmakers or totalisators to maintain credibility.
With the introduction of the online betting exchange concept, because of
their passive nature simply as a supplier of a service to punters without
trying to extract ever increasing dollars from them, The Betting Ring will
willingly affiliate itself with, or advertise these type of services. Support
by clicking on affiliate logos as above will ensure that this site continues
to improve, update and offer more to help you keep your gambling dollar,
including the work of programming the bookmaker simulation, Punter v Bookie.
Bookmakers percentages include all participants in the betting up to 100/1. This figure, e.g.(135%) shows that to back all participants in an event to get a total return of $100 on any winner, it will cost $135. The lower the percentage, the better the value. Tote take outs are the percentage taken from the pool before a dividend is calculated, e.g. take out is 15%, $85 in every $100 is returned to the investor.
