How Is Betdaq In Business?

**BigSpoon** · 07-01-11, 12:17 PM

I only use them when they give me the 2.5% commission rate.

**Art Vandeleigh** · 07-01-11, 12:46 PM

100% agree, I can't understand it either. Seems like only people who got stuck with the premium charge at BetFair could benefit at Betdaq.

**tommygun** · 07-17-11, 03:42 AM

betdaq is fine in my books.

**chance** · 07-17-11, 05:32 AM

The smart person will see tha value of the 2% Asian handicap soccer lines. Currently $46 million traded on the outright market for the open golf (Double betfair).

**qukubau** · 07-17-11, 06:04 AM

the volume for major soccer leagues is fine. and the comission is 2.5%.

But most markets are not like that

Actually most have very low volume

**tommygun** · 07-17-11, 03:09 PM

dunno if you guys have looked recently, (JJ how the fck are u even on there being from USA), but the site has picked up major volume. I'm with Betfair and Betdaq and can tell you this is fact.

Just telling the people how it is brother. Go back to your crappy US offshore sportsbooks.

**JohnnyRotten** · 07-18-11, 04:46 AM

the people who own betdaq are mega rich

**jjgold** · 07-18-11, 05:09 AM

The place is pure garbage

Little volume on almost everything

Go look for yourself

**meckis** · 07-18-11, 05:31 AM

I prefer betdaq over betfair because of commision rate and I use betdaq almost everyday, most on horses. I am glad that they are bigger and bigger because betfair treat their costumers like shit.

**jjgold** · 07-18-11, 05:56 AM

Lower liquidity means worse odds

PASS

sure but don't play those then. if 1 in 100 markets at betdaq has better odds after commission then betfair and 99 in 100 markets have worse odds, i still want a funded account at betdaq to take advantage of that one market.

**brettels** · 07-18-11, 06:16 AM

betdaq is great. i still prefer sportsbooks compared to an exchange anyway so i don't bet at either.

**jjgold** · 07-18-11, 06:25 AM

Who owns betdaq?

**King_Suckerman** · 07-18-11, 06:26 AM

i use betdaq for big events where they do have the liquidity (i'm on 2.5% comm). to simply ignore them would cost me money.

Here is a review i found that may answer your question.

Betdaq is an online betting exchange based in Ireland. Founded in 2000 by Irish entrepreneur Dermot Desmond, the site offers betting markets on a range of international sporting and novelty bets. The company claims to handle in excess of £20m worth of bets every week, by linking punters up to bet against each other.

Due to the unconventional way betting exchanges work, Betdaq claim that they improve odds by as much as 20 percent compared to the high street bookie. This is a big incentive for punters who are always looking to increase their margins. Betdaq has a no nonsense site, with popular bets listed on the homepage for convenience. Its simple platform makes it easy to understand exchanges for those new to this form of betting.

**jjgold** · 07-18-11, 07:18 AM

The platform is not bad

I do not know about 20 million per week

Brettles nice work

**JohnnyRotten** · 07-18-11, 12:13 PM

20 million i believe,

great site

**TFC** · 07-18-11, 02:03 PM

I have accounts at both betfair and betdaq and at several bookies. It's simple: go where you are going to get the best price after commission. What's the issue?

**TheBeautifulGame** · 07-18-11, 02:07 PM

Never used them myself and wouldn't really suit my needs by the look of things.

**jjgold** · 07-18-11, 02:14 PM

When you go to Betdaq I do not see much

Not impressive

How is uk horse volume?

**meckis** · 07-18-11, 02:36 PM

Uk horse volume very similar to betfair`s. There is matched at least 300k-500k euros in every race.

ok now we are talking if that is true

**Monte** · 07-18-11, 06:55 PM

Still more useful to have as an out compared to just another full juice or worse book, don't ya think.
Ofc payment methods and how transfering money is handled matters, don't know about that, but a working exchange is never a bad thing.

So what?

Who cares who's making the markets?

Let them pepper (and salt) the markets even more. More sugar.

**kkkkk** · 07-19-11, 03:22 PM

i agree that in horse racing betdaq has almost same volumes like betfair. On some markets even its bigger. rest is shit.

**Sawyer** · 07-19-11, 05:32 PM

Volume is very poor..except UK Horse Racing Market.

Horse Racing Market Liquidity is not so bad..but only through the start of race. 3-4 hours before the race, it's graveyard.

How they're still in Business?

Answer is easy! Many High Roller Traders are leaving Betfair because of Premium Charge!

Betdaq liquidity was worse 1 year ago. It will get better and better..(but still there's a long road ahead)

Also %2.5 comission is very cool. They extended it 'til end of september. Still, can't use them for soccer and other sports. I use Betdaq only for Horse Race Trading.

**Ruifgalmeida** · 07-19-11, 06:03 PM

JJ if you are based in the US how can you play in betdaq and betfair????????????????????????'
