How good is Betfair? If you bet only European soccer it's good, but not perfect. If you bet only American sports, it's good to have it one of your outs, but not the only one.

For average bettors Betfair's commission rates stays always over 4%. You have to be a high roller to get 2.0-2.5% commission.

If you get odd 2.00 (+100) from Betfair, it's actually 1.95 to 1.98 (-105 to -102), so sometimes it's better to lay your bets with Pinnacle or some other low vig bookie than betting exchanges.

The significant thing about Betfair is you can lay bets as well as back. A lot of the time you can get a better price on your selection by simply laying the other team.

There is no con but it can be a shark pool at times and there is no back-tracking for any mistakes you make.
