I've been using Betfair for sboarena many years now but it's only recently I've wondered how much performs this company make? This question is what has compelled me to create this information. I will not be getting copies of their accounts from companies house, this article is going to be all conjecture according to what I've found while using the site in the past.

What has allowed me to ponder this question may be the transparency inside the Betfair site. If you consider traditional bookies like WilliamHill, Ladbrokes or Betfred, everything you have no idea on any particular sporting event 's what has become bet altogether and also on what particular outcome these bets were placed.

Take a normal Friday afternoon race meeting at say Ascot. It's the 2.30 and 5 horses are racing; the punters are logging to among the traditional bookmakers websites and backing the many horses. The outcome is repeat the second favourite winning, we've got no clue whether people were backing the outsider or favourite, how much was bet, and what are the conserve the bookmaker made.

Now consider the same race with Betfair. The total amount exchanged with the race emerges towards the top of the page, this is typically about A�200,000 for a standard horse race. Now we realize that Betfair have a commission on all winnings, as well as every bet exchanged there exists a winner, so they're taking their 5% no matter what result - about A�10,000 in this instance.

So now for a quick little 'back of fag packet' maths. Approximately 40 races per day generating A�10,000 are all A�400,000 each day seven days a week, that's 2.8 million pounds a week. Throw inside the bigger meetings understanding that rounds it to say 3 million, 5% which is A�150,000.

Now take into account the Premiership football season. At least 12 games a week generating between A�200,000 as well as a million pounds in exchanged bets, make average and figure out the 5% commission which's another A�350,000. On top of this there is the lower league and foreign games that must generate another A�100,000 in commission so we're up to Half a thousand pounds weekly in revenue.

Bear planned that one could (and people do) bet on everything, golf, cricket, tennis, boxing, champions league football, International soccer, let alone gaming. I'm starting to arrive at concluding that they must be pulling in weekly revenue within the millions, if it's only A�3 million every week, that's over 150 million annually.

I admit to using no clue if my workings are drastically wrong here, of course, if Betfair actually has annual revenue of A�1million or A�1billion. Neither do I have a solid idea of what their attorney's fees, IT costs etc figure to. What I do see is always that unlike traditional bookmakers the results associated with a sporting event does not have any touching on their revenue.

To this end their main aim must be to just recruit as much customers as is possible, which poses the question; while using numerous online bookies out there offering free introductory bets of up to plus more than A�100, then why do Betfair just offer A�30. That may be the topic of my next article.
