Betfair exchage poker

One of the most popular product in betfair.com is Betfair Exchange Poker. Specifically Hold’em Poker exchange. You can decide if you want to play standard or turbo version.

If you Google for it, you can find many many systems on how to play this exchange poker with these so called “guaranteed winning”. Let me be honest with you – these are usually bullshits.

Let me go through basics. In Betfair Exchange Poker you have four hands you can put your money on. One or more of them(in case of tie) are going to win. You can back or lay on any of those hands in any part of the game – from preflop where you dont see any card to river when only one last card is going to come. Odds are, of course, regularly updated according to the game. There are no such things as fold, all hands play to the end and can win.

Green book on Betfair Exchange Poker - this is how it looks like

There are sometimes beliefs that odds there are offered only by other punters. This is not true and you will find it out very quickly. Betfair always offer the basic odds there, you as a user can offer higher or lower, but this is rarely done, mostly because of the liquidity. There are games(mostly during the night) when not even 50Pounds are placed on the whole market. Therefor some offering and asking for different odds then are currently in offer is often useless.

I can tell you, I won more then 1000Pounds from 30Pounds on Betfair Exchange Games – but you need a nice piece of luck for that. There were also moments when I lost more then 100 Pounds on it.  If you are looking for some fun, you should try it and maybe you will be surprised to see how easily you can learn to operate on Betfair and maybe also learn something about Hold’em or other variants of Poker.

Sure win – 7 ways to green book on Betfair

There are moments when Greed pays off

Like, 3 weeks ago I published the first article about green books and showed you some examples that it is possible.As it was the most popular article yet, I would love to expand on that. I created 7 easy tips that you have to bear in mind if you want to create literally “sure win”. Sure win is a moment, when any possible outcome will give you profit.

1. Greed is good, but be reasonable…

Live betting is always the case. A lot of my friends are used to bet(back) Under 2,5 (or 1,5 or even correct score 0-0) and sell(lay) it after few minutes. If you want to do this, set yourself a limit, you will sell it if the odd goes from 2,0 to 1,6. You never know when the goal will come and it may screw you up.

2. Don’t sell and bet when you didnt plan it…

Speaking again about live betting. Let me show it what I mean on an example : You bet 100Pounds on Under 1,5 @2,00(decimal). The current score is 0-0. Only few minutes after that first goal is scored and the odd goes up (2,7 or even 3,2).  You are scared, so to save at least some money, you will lay it at 3,00 for 100 pounds. So now if it ends Under 1,5 you didnt win anything and if it is Over 1,5 you lost  100Pounds. So you have not sure win, but sure loss. This is usually not a good idea to do.

3. Limit your mind…

If you have 100 pounds on your account, don’t put all of it on one market, ideally not even in two of them. This way if you loss one, you can play again and win the money back without new deposits. Also, this is good against any gambling addictions and thins kind of stuff.

4. Go with insights

Very good way to make profit on sure wins, is to create a green book on a market that you know something about. All you need is to read some forums or match previews – Bettingadvice.com, Worldpicks.eu, Punterslounge.co.uk . If you read fast enough, you can read info about new injuries and news from upcoming events. If new injuries were published in last minutes in home team, it is more than probable that the odd will rise, therefor you should lay and back just few minutes afterwards.

5. Speculate

There are always some rumours about match fixing and various unclear methods… You can always use this to your advantage, the same way as in fourt point. If some info about fixed outcome is published, dont worry to back it, the odd will go down. Even if it is not true, you can sell it just an hour before the match starts. I know some people publishing this info just to move the odd. You dont need to do that, just go with them and use them.

6. Understand to basics to advance

Of course you need to know that live betting takes even 10 seconds till your bet is submitted. You should know what back and lay means, you should have profit and loss ticked as showed on the picture. You should know that you can offer low odds even if it is not in the offer immediately.

7. Dont worry about new markets

Easy way to create sure bets are Betfair exchange games. I wrote an entire article about these also with youtube video. Dont worry to try it, even with little ammount of money. This can give you new markets to make some quick money when it comes to Betfair…Like the sure bet on the picture.

And one bonus point… Play only with money you dont need! It’s still gambling people, you can win nice ammounts of money, but there is also very nice opportunity to lose everything.

Betfair Sportsbetting

I posted an interesting article about Exchange Games and some of you already got inspired as I saw. That is cool. There was also some info about poker and casino, but the biggest and the most interesting Betfair product is actually their sports betting.

When it comes to Sports Betting there are some toughts about it. Some say value betting is impossible in Betfair. That when it comes to Betfair the odd is what they call fair. Therefor, you can not find a value there. That is true.

On the other hand, when you are betting with BetFair, you can get the biggest odd available online. If you read my last article you already know why. Simply, if you find a bigger odd somewhere else, you can bet it there and sell it on Betfair and you have sure win. It’s that easy.

When you start with this arbitrage betting you have to be prepared for odds movement and act quickly. Also you have to check what limits are there in bookmaker and also in Betfair.

Of course, as Betfair is a betting exchange you can not place a combo with those odds. That was a problem and for a lot of punters used to standard betting. Therefor Betfair came up also with multiples. So this is not the case anymore, the odds there are logically a bit lower.

As odds in Betfair are offered also by people, you have to accept that liquidity can be different. While betting on huge markets like Premierleague or Grand slams have millions of pounds in liquidity and you are not limited. When it comes to smaller leagues in various sports, you may have problems with limits. Of course, those limits are still similar to standard bookmakers.

These are just few toughts about Betfair and I will surely write more about it.
