That's true and appreciated.
But how many leagues do they offer as compared to Betfair?
And how many markets on each game?

Matchbook is great but very very different that Betfair

Betfair is mainly a live betting exchange and matchbook is not

Matchbook is great for usa sports and tennis and some soccer

Matchbook markets are slowly, slowly getting there on tennis. It feels like there's a tipping point of having consistent liquidity, and they've passed it.

Laddies will have to seed their markets extensively (with consequent cost), or offer spectacularly low commission. I've not seen any evidence of either yet - like a few others, they seem to believe they just need to setup the infrastructure and the layers will magically appear.

Betfair spends more on advertising than most books are worth. Betfair takes more action in one day than Ladbrokes does in 1 month in all their sportsboooks combined

my new home on horses... BETFAIR!,

**jjgold** · 12-30-13, 02:05 PM

Betfair solid for horses even USA tracks

Ladbrokes bought Betdaq. Why did they create another exchange in addition? Surely it would have been better to concentrate resources in building up and improving the existing Betdaq.

This exchange will be a non factor......Betfair is such a monster nobody has a shot in the exchange game anymore.

My guess would be that they will close the betdaq brand don and transfer accounts to the Ladbrokes exchange.

I will be surprised if it works

Cluttered site meaning the exchange

Betfair users not going to switch

I'm seeding a number of markets on laddies, pretty poor so far.

**jjgold** · 01-01-14, 01:58 PM

I do not like the set up at all

The Exchange business is almost impossible to break into

Its Betfair of course and then Matchbook

No other place even on radar
