BetButler weren't an exchange, didn't they try and provide a getting-your-bet-on service?

Surprised how W B X and B@ttor keep going though tbh.

is there still an exchange on Betfair?  How can I find it?

most of them never really took off; betbull switched to be a skin for daq before being merged, betxc was promising but the bots killed it, sporting options had liquidity but sadly it wasn't real or theirs

best of those was the original tradesports which actually had some life until they had to close the sports bit following the usa legal changes, but more recent events say that as probably a good thing after their latest scandal

i can think of at least a couple more not on that list, one that went only a couple of months ago after several years

i can also think of one that should be on the list; how it is still in business is a mystery

Betsson is another one. They withdrew their exchange and continued with their sportsbook.

Just goes to show how many people had so little understanding of the betting exchange market.

AH! Cantor Spreadfair - that brings back memories. As I recall they didn't do Horses to begin with and they introduced them later on. Happy but short days!

It was a shame about Sporting options I prefered their site to BF.

Coral's Play2Match was one of my favourites, I remember even winning on there using willhill radio which was miles behind live . Was a short lived but very fruitful love affair for me, few people grasped it's binary system and every goal was overbet as if it was the winner :)

It's a pity flutter rolled over so tamely they had much better software etc which Betfair eventually took on board, trouble is they just weren't as forward thinking as Betfair were at the time and stuck with the page three crap and fractional odds.
