Global Entertainment,
which is a Costa Rica based company, has entered a new era
in the ever-changing industry of online gambling with its
launching of the new wagering exchange, Bet-Fit. Ricardo
Silva, BetFit’s executive director, describes the betting
exchange as a facility that allows players to place bets
among each regarding the outcome of a particular event. Just
as in the real world, bets are placed on the outcome of a
certain game, with one person betting on a certain outcome
while yet another bets against it. Players are not betting
using the fixed odds that offered by traditional sportsbooks.
In stead, they work out the costs of their own bets, and
thus are able to obtain better odds. When using betting exchanges,
consumers are able make greater profits and even allows them
to have more fun, according to Silva.
Bet-Fit hopes that they will draw clients from traditional
sportsbooks who can immediately recognized the innate advantages
of such a betting exchange. Of course, Bet-Fit wouldn’t
turn away customers who are coming from online gambling sites
or betting exchange markets that have already been established
either.
With the advent of betting exchange sites, online gambling
analysts are predicting a major shakeup in the online gambling
industry. A new era is definitely being ushered with the
advent of these exchange sites. It has even affected the
name “sportsbook” since it now must be referred
to using a new name -“traditional sportsbook”.
This is necessary in order to differentiate it from the new
one, which is now being referred to as “sportsbook”.
At the same time, the more traditional sportsbooks are changing
their system so that it now conforms with the new system.
This is because players who used to play at the traditional
sportsbooks are moving to the new sportsbooks as they begin
to understand its clear advantages.
The Bet-Fit wagering exchange already demonstrates many
attractive qualities and will be highly improved when a newer
version of their software, which is due out in the middle
of 2005, is released. This new software promises to completely
revolutionize the industry even more.
