Full Review of Betfair Betting Exchange (7.96)

Betfair, established in 1999 and based out of London, is the world's biggest online sports betting exchange. It handles over one million bets a day and has a weekly turnover of over £50 million, serving the UK, Australia, Italy, Austria, Germany and beyond.

Betfair has taken its experience and industry leading innovations to create a unique platform they call Exchange Games (or X-Games).

The "Exchange" concept is the uniting theme across the platform, with Exchange Hold'em, Exchange Blackjack, Exchange Hi Lo, Exchange Baccarat and Exchange Omaha Hi. They are also refered to as X-Baccarat, X-Blackjack and so on. Exchange Holdem and Exchange Blackjack are available also in a Turbo version, 25% faster than a standard game.

The concept is clear:

You let others play as you watch and are free to place a wager on any player, any hand, any outcome.

Exchange Games (7)

To better understanding the unique Exchange games, we shall use Exchange Blackjack as an example. At X-Blackjack, the computer controls the hands to play the best game. Playing 4 hands, it's as if the best blackjack player is playing the game. Betfair members playing the X-game can place wagers against each other on who they believe will win - a specific player or the dealer. In essence, you do not actually play the game, but rather bet on it only.

Exchange Hi Lo, similarly in concept, is the same card game, only it's the computer that decides whether the next card will be higher or lower, whereas the players bet on how many cards it predicts correctly before it gets it wrong.

Exchange Poker is based on Texas Hold'em. Bet on any hand, any time, with no betting limits. It's based purely on skill, no bluffing whatsoever.
