Betfair vs Smarkets

I have 0% on smarkets so I would like to know what's the benefit of trading on betfair? Im looking to do LTD around £100 stakes.

Cheers.

Yep you'll only get those stakes matched on Premier league really, well on others but getting out might be a worry!

Realistically unless you are paying PC I wouldn't worry about using Betfair, even then I'd take Betfair over others for trading for knowing I can get out when I need too.

@lee-bundy Betfair is the only viable option for trading really, especially at those stakes.

I'm a big advocate of the smaller exchanges but the simple fact is liquidity is lower and the spread is usually larger so it can be difficult to cash out if you are scalping but I generally trade bigger swings so it doesn't really effect me and I find that the loss of a tick or two is offset by the lower commission.

Biggest issue I would think is liquidity. This would lead to less choice in games to trade and possible issues with cashing out.

Having said that 0% is great I only get it on a saturday on Betdaq.
