Every bet has won so far for me and all (but one, it drifted badly) have been in the top 2 in the betting, which was what we wanted.
Betfair does require a different mindset and even experienced punters can be overwhelmed. I've spoken to a couple of our heavy hitters in the bookies I work in why they dont trade on BF, the ones who had never heard of it before didnt belive me that you were getting about 30% better prices on the horses and footy, the ones who had heard of it said it was too complicated and prefered to have their winnings in cash instantly. BF is a fantastic system, I'd go as far as saying being able to back selections to lose has changed my life
I'm being honest there! Since they started letting us do doubles, trebles etc on the football I havent placed a bet anywhere else unless I'm trying to scam a free bet.
