    Default Betfair and no House edge?

    Any experience about BetFair Zero house margin games?

    You will still lose long term because you are basically coin-flipping with a bankroll vastly smaller than betfair's. That said, there is probably no better place to lose your money playing casino games online.

    They still make their money from newbies staying on 15 and 16 against dealers 10 and other common newbie misstakes.

    My experience is it's fair though and probably the best place to play.

    Default Betfair exchange games X-games

    Yup I agree with everything up there...

    No green on roulette table, better BJ rules, etc so in efect zero-house margin. Same a s a casino but with better odds.

    Now here is what I'd like to add: Check out Betfair Exchange games...very cool stuff where you can bet on a poker hand being played right in front of you for example.

    You can bet FOR or AGAINST a player on every street (Pre-flop, flop, turn,river). betfair generates the odds of that person winning the hand.

    Pretty cool, pretty innovative and very fun...

    And oh yeah...unlike a casino game...


    In an average week on Betfair Exchange Games, over 120 people will win more than £1,000 profit after commission. Approximately 36-40% of players will show a profit.


    • X-Baccarat
    • X-Blackjack
    • X-Hi/Lo
    • X-Hold'em
    • X-Omaha Hi
    • X-Card Derby Racing


    Let me know what you think...check it out here

    zero edge=no edge
    I play baccarat just for fun there ,even with no vig I am losing money.
    As for the x-games I dont play them because with the comission they are just another EV- casino game

    Can US citizens use Betfair? I was under the impression it was just for non-US citizens.

    Just in case anybody makes the same mistake I did: I played in the Betfair's Zero Lounge thinking I was clearing a sign-up bonus. After several hours of play and essentially breaking even (which is to be expected) I discovered casino bonuses can't be cleared in the Zero Lounge (which makes sense). At least I discovered to my satisfaction that the Zero Lounge is on the up-and-up. If you insist on playing casino games, there's probably no better place to play on or off line.

    zero games are nice touch from betfair, but still unbeatable....
    im sure they actually make money as you would have to play perfect strategy (considering different rules only betfair knows it) to break even at BJ table or JACKS OR BETTER poker.
    Real zero edge is roulette, whatever you play theres no advantage for you or house
    dont know about baccarat never played it...
