    Betfair??
    I have "swallowed the Matchbook kool-aid" TOTALLY!!! I get it now!! What a relief it is, i understand why you guys are so high on them and so am i.I can't wait for Sunday and October for the NHL.However i was looking for a second place to open a second account and thought of Betfair.I have been searching since Friday about these guys, even SBR does not have a specific review on them but only comments from bettors .On the other hand the EURO reviews have them spread eagle praising Betfair contrary to the comments of some of our guys in old threads dating from last year where many said that they would have nothing to do with them.However it seem to ME that their beefs with Betfair where mostly over bonuses,live bets, book to book charges and the 5% fee,ect.
    Does Betfair exclusive focus on the euro market make them unpalatable for north american sports betting?
    If not Betfair witch exchange would you put your money in?
    Mansion as been talked about but they are not a A+ and if you try anything under a A rating you are asking for it in my opinion.
    I also saw on Canbet's website that their NFL betting limit is 15k does anyone believe that claim ,because they are not rated as P book? OR Are they just saying that to bait the big bets into joining THEM only to be cut at the most opportune time,such as winning or losing streak?
    THANK YOU

      BetFair is an excellent place to play if your into Euro sports. I just wish I could play tennis there.

          I see what you mean Betfair don't even have American odds in their price box and the option is not even offered as it usually is everywhere else.
          How come SBR as tradesports as C rated book though?

            What is the difference?

            What is the difference between tradesports.com and tradexbet.com (trade bet exchange) ??

            They seem to be from the same company and same concept of exchange betting.

            Anyone knows?

                Betfair has a 5% commission to start with. For North American sports the liquidity and pricing is not good. Even some tennis matches the prices posted are very bad. If your into betting soccer that's the place for you.
