Gold, US population 400 million, rest of the world 6 billion take a wild guess and tell me what the rest opt the world likes to bet on

**HCBoone** · 12-11-10, 09:52 AM

Football mate. It's the biggest sport in the world innit?

Betfairs a great site for European sports.

I had no idea it would be such a great number on Aston Villa- West Brom though.

How many of those 6 billion have TVs and access to book?

Any of those 400M in America are easily capable of making wager.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Guy that asks for money at the light after he's done he calls his local to make a bet

Layed $80,000 there on a soccer game today

**pavyracer** · 12-11-10, 10:12 AM

JJ BetFair is like the Walmart of betting and the offshores who advertise here are like the Mom & Pop Stores in South Dakota in terms of betting volume.

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 12-11-10, 10:12 AM

I have contributed to that number.

**minet123** · 12-11-10, 10:38 AM

Ok sponsey that's nothing watch when Barcelona takes on Real Madrid

**fedtpels** · 12-11-10, 10:41 AM

or wimbledon......the final with roddick was sick. 80 mio or something

**durito** · 12-11-10, 11:01 AM

You think 3M is more than several US books take on an NFL Sunday combined?

**Art Vandeleigh** · 12-11-10, 11:10 AM

FWIW I think every dollar matched is counted twice so it's at most half of that number you see.

**Vegas_bond** · 12-11-10, 11:39 AM

Yes, the volume is stunning. But it only happens at Betfair. And for one reason: at Betfair, which is an exchange, you can bet as much money as you wish, as many times as you want. There are no limits.
Art Vandeleigh is right. Every Dollar, or Euro, is counted twice. So, you should split that stunning number.
And how big would be the volume on the NFL at Betfair if U. S. punters were ALLOWED?

**pavyracer** · 12-11-10, 11:42 AM

That was just one game. If you take all the games of the weekend for all Premier, La Liga, Bundesliga, Calcio etc the number will be close to a billion.

**TOTTENHAM2** · 12-11-10, 05:03 PM

Thousands of people will try to trade in & out of bets resulting in the same money being again & again betfair only take commison on your final position in the market if you win this distorts the final total of matched money in any event its always less
