Bettson exchange - 1% all summer

[wmbert]

I've just been on betsson & noticed this on their front page.

Only 1% commission all summer on betsson.

Sorry if this is common knowledge, I searched for bettson on here & it didn't seem to be mentioned.

I didnt know that, but in my (limited) experiance Bettson has such poor liquidity betfair is still preferable. But thanks for the information.

I had a look earlier because that was what I also thought, I spotted a lot of markets with around 25% of the BF liquidity which was a pleasant surprise, I thought it would be like WBX.

you still can't beat matchbook at .6% on MLB moneylines and runlines and .8% on totals all other sports 1%

It was probably the same person feeding betsson and betfair. I noticed the odds and the amounts were equal. But now that person must had quit of betsson coz is no longer possible to find good odds

Just a heads up but the 1% commission rate at Betsson exchange is now over, apparently it ended in August The rate is back to the default 4% now. Thankfully I found out on a market where I only won £5!

I've asked on support whether it's possible to get the 1% rate back and was told it would be referred to the exchange support, so fingers crossed. Was just about worth using at 1% (only just though), but at 4% that's just not worthwhile using at all.

I hope they lower my commission or i will take my 250 eur out from there...

Yes I was just thinking the same a few minutes ago.. In fact to be fair even if they did give the 1% I don't know if it's worth carrying on using betsson exchange, usually you can get pretty much the same deal going at Betfair/Betmate, what you lose in the commission you make up in the spread/liquidity. Did you make much use of it hazard?

I mainly used it for very big matches where there were hundreds of thousands matched on Betfair. Even then on Betsson there'd only be maybe a few thousand matched and the spreads would be massive (take for example the Eng vs Slo match today, on Betfair it would be something like 1.15/1.16 to back/lay, compared to Betsson where it was 1.16/1.2 to back/lay - not great).

I was mainly using it two ways, go to queue... and in "big" games you can make a good deal coz you have no competition...

...and sometimes in the games i wanted to match there was a better deal than on betfair. Sometimes the do had back odds higher than betfair (lower commission, so the person in the other side offers more), i think i used that once or twice to do a "dutching" on the 1X2.


...and there is also the professional traders whom offer exactly the same prices and (max bet) on betfair and betsson. That is useful if you want lay on the correct score market.
