		Betfair’s focus on the horse racing niche must also have been advantageous in reducing their customer acquisition costs as they were easier to target, reference the effective guerilla markeing and the bookmaker’s funeral.

	Bet Finder - The Reality of Laying Horses on Betfair
		One of the prime aspects of the rise of Betfair as a resource for betting on horse racing (and other events), was the opportunity to ‘act like a bookmaker’ and lay horses.
		Betfair is keen to promote the fact that the prices available are ‘better’ than those obtainable from bookmakers.
		Laying horses for profit might not be impossible, in fact I’m sure it isn’t, but it has to be accepted that Betfair does not give everyone the facility to become a bookmaker.

	With right solutions, Betfair can strengthen our industry - Horseracing - Sport
		With the Tasmanian Government about to play Santa Claus to Betfair by granting the UK betting exchange a licence to access Australian punters and betting turnover, now is the time for lobbyists to seek urgent amendments before the legislation becomes law.
		If Betfair were allowed on-course, showing prices in a net form after commission was deducted, and had to accept a minimum bet like the rest of us, that would help keep the on-course betting rings as the centres of activity.
		Nonetheless, the proposed Tasmanian legislation is flawed: the Act merely requires Betfair to refer matters of concern to a Racing Commission, whose members might deign to send it on to racing stewards.
