which exchange is better

[pico]

if you're not in the states, which one is better. betfair or matchbook?

Depends on what you class as "better". You probably get better pricing on US sports at Matchbook but you probably get better pricing on just about every sport in the world than just about every book in the world at Betfair. Matchbook is good but everso limited.

For US sports betfair is very bad, matchbook is better. Matchbook is 2% commish while betfair is 5%. If your into soccer there isn't a game in the world you can't find on betfair. If you start pumping some serious coin through betfair you can get the commish down.

Betfair is pretty good for tennis too, very competitive odds.

good question, probably they do not make money
but since they pay, they should not be omitted

Just to clarify, there is no fee on your wins at the Mansion exchange as a buyer.

As a seller there is a 1% fee on wins.
