Betfair Sports Betting Markets

As a top tier world class online bookmaker, Betfair offer an incredible range of sports markets. You can browse the entire seletion across the top of your screen in the full site mode. The most popular sports are displayed by default, but just click on All Sports to get the full list.

Everything is there from American Football to Darts, Pool, Hockey and Volleyball.

As you would expect from a company the size of Betfair, a few alternative markets are also offered, including TV Specials like the winner of Love Island, Big Brother, or Sports Personality of the Year. There are also currently bets on when or if Donald Trump will be impeached, and the name of Will and Kate’s third child.

You will also find by digging into the markets that the range of options is huge as well. So, if football is your choice for example, you are not restricted to just the English leagues, but can choose to bet as far out as Chinese, Icelandic, or even Peruvian football.

The Betfair in play betting market range is also wide. At time of writing at 3pm on a Wednesday there were no less than 68 live events with options for In Play bets, including Finish Football friendlies!

There is also a Betfair Live Streaming service, open to all customers, although for horse racing enthusiasts you must first have placed a £2 or more bet on any given race in order to watch live coverage. Other sports, including Football and Cricket, are free for all members to watch.

Betfair Full Site Usability

The Betfair full site features the recognisable yellow and black branding that we all associate with this online bookmaker and exchange. Finding your way around is quite simple, though unlike many sportsbooks, Betfair choose to display their markets navigation across the top of the screen on desktop rather than down the side.

In fact, the left side navigation panel is reserved for Quick Links to the most popular current events and markets.

This actually makes for a cleaner design and it feels easier to read the center panel with your chosen market.

Across the very top of the screen you can access all Betfair’s alternative products, including Casino, Bingo, Poker and Exchange.

Betfair Mobile App and Mobile Betting

Betfair have developed a sophisticated app to allow customers to access their sportsbook and exchange whilst on the go (or on the couch!). To access the app you must first have an account - Sign up today and get £30 in free bets.

So you can access all the markets, place bets, cash out bets, deposit and withdraw funds from your account, bookmark your favourite markets, check the live scores section and look for the most popular current bets as recommended by the Betfair team.

The app is available for iPhone and Android and can be downloaded in seconds from the Google Play store or the Apple store and works really well on both tablet and handheld devices.

Betfair Casino and Bingo

Punters who like a bit of casino or bingo play on the side will love the Betfair Casino, which runs on the Playtech platform.
