Blue Square | Handles British racing and also has the welcome rule that they will pay 'first past the post' so if one's winning horse is disqualified they will pay out fully on the winner and also the disqualified horse. Covers Irish racing therefore Blue Sqaure is a favourite of ours. | |

Betfair | 5% | These chaps started the Exchange revolution off and have just been given the Queen's Award to Industry which must of put a few noses out of joint in the Big Three bookmakers. High volume and these days the prices tend to be lower than before but winnings carry a 5% commission charge though high-rollers will have the commission reduced depending on turnover. An account is essential particularly as they cover Irish racing. | |
