Product Description
Not since the legalisation of betting shops in 1961 has anything hit the UK gambling scene with as much force as the arrival of the betting exchange. From small beginnings in 2000, to more than GBP 23 million traded on a single cricket match in January 2005, Betfair - the dominant exchange - can now arguably be called the world's largest internet betting site. Punters, professional and casual, love it - and bookmakers hate it. But whatever they say, person-to-person betting is here to stay. This book is the essential publication aimed at helping you to avoid the pitfalls and make the most of this new and vibrant form of betting.

Great Intro to Betting Exchanges
Used this book as background for a paper I wrote on Betfair at Betting exchanges. This is the only book out there that covers everything about the exchanges, their history, how they operate, betting strategies etc. If you want lots of depth on any of these topics (e.g. it's not the complete story of Betfair) then you might be disappointed but as an overview its great.
