Some people only have a bet once a year – on a big sporting event like the Grand National or the Wimbledon Final. Millions of other people take betting a lot more seriously and have various punts in place at all times.

Anyone who likes a regular bet will know that the best value margins and odds these days are found on betting exchanges like Betfair, where it’s just punters placing and laying (accepting) bets, with no bookie taking a cut. There is a charge to pay for the service on a winning bet – in Betfair’s case this is about 5% – but otherwise it’s just like a bet between two mates in the pub, with a neutral landlord holding the money until the bet is resulted.

If you want to take betting to the next level and improve your chances of making a profit when placing bets on Betfair, there is a number of different trading and betting apps you can download. These apps are packed with a range of trading tools, which means you can have a competitive edge over other Betfair users who don’t take advantage of what the apps have to offer.

The Bettrader betting and trading platform is just one example. It allows you to view many Betfair markets at once from your internet browser and offers one click betting alongside a range of other trading tools. For people who are developing their skills at managing multiple betting markets at once, the app even has a training mode built-in, where you can experiment with systems or learn how to trade in a risk-free environment. Your virtual bets will be simulated against live Betfair data and prices so that you can see exactly how well you would have done had you been placing real-money bets.

Using a bet trading app can enhance anyone’s betting system – whether they’re a beginner or consider themselves to be more of a pro bettor. All the Betfair apps are available with a free trial so that you can really test them out before deciding whether to subscribe, so there’s really nothing to lose by giving one of the apps a trial run. Why not download one today so you can use it when you’re watching the final stages of the Brazilian World Cup?
