10 Steps to a Level Trading Field

1. With Betting Exchanges (BXs) you can back or lay a team.
2. Price and value are significantly bigger when betting with the BXs. The margins are minimal.
3. BXs provide full information on their betting markets.
4. Throughout their existence, the BXs have stood up to the monopolistic abuses of the Big 3.
5. All markets may be traded online which increases trading efficiency.
6. BXs allow winning accounts and guarantee payment of winnings unlike the vast majority of traditional bookies.
7. Many more games are offered in-running.
8. The markets are open for longer windows prior to events.
9. Markets remain open until the final whistle.
and 10. If you are crazy enough to play online casinos, BXs like Betfair offer zero house edge and straight tables unlike their competitors.
The only 'service' that the Big 3 offer which isn't replicated by the BXs is the betting shop. These are disinformational environments that support Dostoyevsky's perception that "the poor and unfortunate should avoid one another".
Mash the monopolists and switch today.
