TOP 4 BETTING EXCHANGES (which ones?)

[betyuda]

Betting Exchanges dont seem to be new, but it seems to be booming recently. I was wondering which other betting exchanges people feel are safe and in the top besides Betfair.com

Thanks any feedback would be great.

Betting exchanges have been a major flop for usa based sportsbooks, many have tried and all failed but Matchbook and they are not even a real high volume shop. In Europe where sports betting is part of the culture you see much more successful betting exchanges and volume. Secondly a Euro bettor is much more sophisticated and advanced than an American bettor as is the sportsbook software they use.

Well which ones then are good?? Betsson, Betdaq??

[SPECULATOR 13]

I was told that Betsson is pretty good for Hockey,
they are own by Swedes and apparently they have enough action in their exchange to easily take 2K ON THE NHL PER GAME!!!!.
As far as Betdaq is concern I'm going to find out later on if they are equal to Betfair
However if they cannot smarten-up to pick up where TRADESPORTS left off last nov.
and come to their senses and like tradesports take u.s. bets than they wont be worth crap in a bucket.They wont last.

That's a good question Abe,
i was off line when tradesports discontinued their exchange service. i am not exactly sure they 'went under" as you put it.
If you search for Tradesports in the SBR engine you will be able to read what was the problem with them.
The knock was that they didn't take care of the exchange as they did TRADEX (their stocks site),nevertheless one could drop 25k on a NFL side and be match instantaneously ,I have witness bets of 50k up to 75k be match within a 1/2 HR. on NFL Sunday.I had no problem dropping 1,500$ on a NHL side either at tradesports.
I maintain that Tradesports as left a VERY LUCRATIVE market on a silver platter for BETDAQ ,however if they do not open this markets to Americans they will not last because betfair as a strangle hold on all things euro,Betdaq is dragging way behind them.That is why if they want to survive and thrive they should look for and cater to U.S. bets.
gotta go!
