Bookmaker and Betting Exchange Directory

Listed below are some of the better known (and some lesser known) bookmakers and betting exchanges. If you intend to maximise your value betting opportunities, then you should be aiming to have betting accounts with a wide and complementing range of firms (see getting the best odds). Several points to remember about bookmakers:

• Some are more competitive than others
• Some are more competitive on certain sports and markets
• Some appear to move in 'packs' offering the same or similar odds
• They are quite often more competitive than betting exchanges

This last point may sound surprising but don't forget that the betting exchanges typically take a commission from your winnings. That said, betting exchanges probably still win hands down at least 50% of the time.

To help you get a good mix of accounts we have set out a suggested 'short list' of companies we have found to come out on top on a regular basis and which appear to be reputable and reliable. ⁽¹⁾
