The exciting selling point of Betfair is that you can offer your own odds to other people, (in contrast to a traditional bookmaker which offers set-odds). Similarly, Betfair also lets you accept the odds offered by other bettors.

BETFAIR BETTING MARKETS
Betfair offers a  multitude of different betting markets on traditional sporting events (eg Baseball, football, NFL, Ice-hockey, financial markets, Darts, horses, dogs etc) as well as novelty events (such as the Eurovision song-contest).
