    Sucks for those Betfair players.

    This is why playing offshore can be a headache, unless you only play at top sportsbooks.

    "offshore" is a relative term

    these guys' problems arose from playing at a casino, not a sportsbook

    Betfair is the world's top sportsbook

    Advertising Standards Authority have against Betfair on the Happy Hour promotion:

    (Not that it does much direct good, but helpful for those taking them to court)

    Betfair allows you to hedge almost every bet giving you great options to save your money. You are trading against other players not directly with the bookmakers who give unfair odds, the only money Betfair gets is a small commission from winnings.

    No wonder American bookmaker supporters are so threatened by them.

    God i love Betfair, and they have gotten 10x better with streaming soccer from Argentina and Copa Libertadores, not to mention the new and easy trade out profit button available near the match odds in in-play betting.

    The ad must not appear again in its current form.

    That's not a really serious action imo.

    You do realize Americans can't play there, right?
