As has been said, Betfair is a peer to peer type of betting. You can lay and make bets so as long as someone is prepared to lay odds and someone wants to take that bet then there is a market. Probably the only chance the average punter can act as a bookmaker. The leverage is very high so by laying bets at odds you choose for the market your potential winnings are high, as are your potential losses. If the market is suspended I would smell a rat.

Good luck though for those of you who have had a flutter or laid odds.

I dabble on IG Index for the stock market, good fun if you do your research.
