Talking give BetFair a go

G'day Thorns,

Open up an account with Betfair. I believe they have a policy of $6 minimum bets, but this is overridden when you use an add-on software called BetTrader, and lets you place bets as small as $0.01.

I was quite skeptical of Betfair in the past, but I finely gave in to the curiousity a month ago, and opened an account with them, just to see what it's all about. I admit it took me a few days to get my head around being able to lay horses, but I tell you it has really opened up a whole bunch of new doors for me. Plus, I'd say 90% of the time, you get better odds than those available elsewhere (just make sure you allow for the 5% commission on profits).

I starting off with a bank of $300, just to play with until a got a better understanding of how it all works. Within 2 weeks, I had turned that $300 into $1,000. Flush with confidence, I then decided to deposit another $700, so that my overall contribution to my betfair account would be $1,000. And now, 2 weeks later I've built the bank up to nearly $5,000. Yesterday alone, I made over $600. I've made most of the money through trading and laying, but still use BetFair to back my normal Saturday system selections too.

It's a great feeling knowing you don't have to bet with some of the other corporate bookie websites out there, and that you get better prices too. I know all this sounds a bit like one of those fake testimonial, but I think BetFair is exactly what Australia needed. Viva revolution!
