Betfair are a betting exchange as opposed to a traditional bookmaker. This means that instead of betting against a bookie you bet against other people with opposing views. All bets have been placed there by users who either want to have a bet in the normal way (back), or offer odds to other punters (lay).

Put simply, when you "back" a selection (be it an individual, a team, horse, dog or other), you are betting that it will win. This is just like betting with conventional bookmakers.

The big difference with Betfair is that you can bet that a selection will lose (i.e. not come first / be placed or not win a football match etc). This is called “laying” a bet.

Totejackpot: as the name suggests, this bet could win you a fortune. It takes place every day except Saturday, when attention turns to the Scoop6. The aim is to pick the 6 winners of 6 races at the selected jackpot meeting. All stakes are put into a pool and if no one wins it rolls over to next day, so the total prize money can get very high, very quickly. Picking 6 winners might seem hard, but you're not restricted to making just one selection per race. By perming a few selections from each race you have a much better chance of landing the jackpot.
