Background
Betfair is the trading name of Betfair Limited, which was founded in August 1999. Unlike fixed odds bookmakers such as William Hill, Ladbrokesand Coral, Betfair is a betting exchange, allowing customers to choose whether to back a selection or instead effectively act as the bookmaker themself and lay a selection instead.
The first ever sporting market traded on betfair was the 2000 Oaks and, in the space of seven years, betfair has become the world's biggest betting exchange and effectively revolutionised the betting industry in the process.
Twice been named the UK’s “Company of the Year” by the Confederation of British Industry, Betfair has also won two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, recognised for Innovation in 2003 and for International Trade in 2008.
Odds and Markets
Betfair Live Video is an online video service, which offers live streaming coverage of sports events to Betfair customers. Although advertised as live, Betfair pictures are typically delayed by around 10-20 seconds.
Betfair streams a variety of sports events live, including Horseracing, Football, Tennis and Basketball. The service is completely free of charge for all content except horseracing. Members must wager £2 on the relevant ‘day of the race market’ via Betfair in order to watch the race of their choice.
Though the content on
Betfair Live Video is free, there are some geographical restrictions, which means some events may not be available for live streaming in their host country. For example, English Championship matches may not be available in the UK.
