Royal League

Dubbed “The Scandinavian Champions League”, Betfair are covering the Royal League in its inaugural year. Winners market, group betting and a selection of markets on individual matches are available for the duration of the tournament.

Team to win / Player to score on selected In-Play Premiership fixtures

Arsenal have only failed to win two Premiership matches in which Thierry Henry has scored and there are a handful of similar records in the Premiership’s statistics books. A team to win/player to score market will be available from the 20th November onwards as part of Betfair’s Premiership specials.

Horse Racing- Betting without favourite

Will be introduced shortly on Betfair on selected races to create an added point of interest.

New financial markets

Launching at the beginning of January, the new financial markets will offer the chance to capitalise on up and down movements in the DAX, gold, oil, the euro/dollar exchange rate, and several equities.  And to follow up on the success and popularity of the FTSE intraday markets, Betfair will also be launching a new intraday market for the DJIA.

American Football: NFL Teasers

Our recently launched Teasers markets are a type of handicap market typically seen in the US where each team has their handicap enhanced by an additional 6 points. Each team is then combined with another to form a double accumulator bet. Generally these sections are offered at fixed odds of 1.87 but with the benefits of the Betfair exchange there should be much better value available.
