I see Ladbrokes are opening an exchange soon..

why can`t hollywood or yyybet or a SA bookie not be allowed?

Hollywood could keep the lay commission and the gov the bet commission

An exchange for SA?

no everywhere else,they done a runner from SA

That's what I thought. They bought Betdaq though some time ago, no?

will saffers be banned yet again from taking part in this exchange?

The difference in the odds being offered in the BF exchange on SA racing has changed hugely in the last 12-18 months Bob, with the deductions its often better odds at bookies these days. Just controlled by a bookie, machines or BF themselves. Useful in some ways but far from what it once was. Inevitable I guess.

I would guess so Pirates, I can't even log on to Laddies UK when in South Africa

Just to put into perspective gambling within our restricted markets in SA -I saw the amount traded on Betfair AT HALF TIME in the Chelsea game today was over BP2,700,000 (R40m)- one very ordinary premiership match-the mind boggles!

I still feel that more could be done to expand Interbet, the structure is in place just needs a few clever lads to iron out the technicalities for a punter to "lay"
The match bets must be considerd a type of "lay"
Anyway early of a Sunday, will have a coffee and watch the rain on my day off

Good laying !

To win yes or no could be a compromise , not great but a compromise

There is a uk bookie that will price up early odds for SA racing from November
