MMA Betting at Betfair

Betfair is a big European Sportsbook which continues to grow. Currently they only offer betting on UFC and K-1 fights, but hopefully that will grow to other events as well. At Betfair they use a “Back and Lay” Decimal odds betting format. The back and lay format allows you to set your own odds, and hopefully you have a bidder on the other side that will take your odds. Betfair also provides market depth and book% figures to help you with your betting.

Betfair also has a growing poker room with a big $500 bonus, and a casino with zero house edge games. Unfortunately US players are not eligible to have an account on Betfair.

BetFair MMA Sportsbook Review

 

BetFair opened in 2000 and is one of the only betting exchanges operating online in 2010. A betting exchange is where you bet against other people rather then against the sportsbook. This will take some time to learn, but once you learn the basics you’ll find that you’re getting better odds with BetFair over traditional sportbooks. Almost anyone can register an account and bet on sports for real money at BetFair except people from the USA.

BetFair MMA Sign-Up Bonus

 

There isn’t a traditional sign-up bonus offered by BetFair, but they do have a cash back bonus for new players. Instead of being awarded with a percentage of your deposit as a bonus, you’ll only receive cash back if you happen to lose your first bet. BetFair will reward you with up to a maximum of $25 if you lose your first bet after making your first deposit into the sportsbook. Since you’re receiving a cash back bonus you don’t need to worry about any betting requirements before being able to withdraw your money.

BetFair MMA Betting Guide

 

With the MMA scene still growing throughout the UK and Europe, many of the UK sportbooks haven’t embraced the sport that much yet. BetFair currently offers odds on basically all of the UFC events and K-1 events although they don’t provide odds on any of the other MMA events. What I like about BetFair is the fact that you can find great odds on UFC fights and you’ll most likely find the odds better then with any traditional sportsbook.

• UFC & K-1

There is a $3 minimum bet imposed by BetFair although that shouldn’t matter, as I don’t think I know anyone that only wagers $2 on a UFC fight. One of the great things about BetFair is that there isn’t a maximum bet because you’re not betting against the sportsbook. As long as there are enough bets from other people to cover your bet then you’ll be allowed to make the wager, which means you could potentially wager $1000’s on a fight.

 

BetFair MMA Software

 

BetFair had to develop their own software to run their sportsbook, as there wasn’t anything similar on the market that they could lease and use. The betting exchange features may take a few days to learn and understand, but there are lots of guides listed on BetFair to help you through the entire process. You can also bet on sports live and watch sports through the BetFair software, which most sportbooks don’t offer their players.

BetFair MMA Support

 

BetFair only offers support to players through an email contact form that you can access through the help section on their website anytime of the day. They try and answer every email within 4 hours although it may take a bit longer depending on how many support emails they have too answer.

BetFair MMA Banking

 

BetFair lists all of their payment methods on their website and you’ll only be able to see the options that are available for your country, which is a great feature. You can use the most popular ewallet moneybookers ,credit cards, debit cards, bank transfer, e-wallets and several other types of deposit options to fund your BetFair Sportsbook account.
