WBX
WBX or World Bet Exchange is an online bookmaker
operating in the UK. The site is relatively new,
having been launched in 2006. WBX is not a
traditional bookmakers but a betting exchange. This
means customers bet against each other rather than
with the bookmaker. Betting exchanges are a
relatively new phenomenon, despite only being formed
two years ago WBX is one of the main pioneers of
this field.
Betting Exchanges
Betting exchanges have produced a revolution in the
way punters bet. It generally operates online and
means you can challenge people from all around the
world and place bets 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. When using a betting exchange, you can either
back or lay an outcome. The betting agent simply
facilitates the bets and in turn receives a small
commission. Betting exchanges are a more transparent
system of operating. The odds are market led, and
unlike traditional bookmakers who charge inflated
profit margins, betting exchange agents simply take
a minimal commission. You do not have to pay this
commission if it is you who loses the bet. This
provides little risk for the bookmaker and the
customers tend to receive better odds, more
flexibility and more control over the bets they
place. This has led to betting exchanges becoming
increasingly popular over the past couple of years.
The Site
The WBX site is user friendly and easy to navigate
around. It has invested in the most up to date,
state of the art technology and this shows in the
smooth running of the site. An advantage of WBX is
the exciting array of bets that it offers. You can
bet in many different areas, sports events from
Boxing to Snooker are covered, as well as Politics
and other less conventional bets. Currently, WBX is
taking bets for who will win the popular TV show
Strictly Come Dancing and the winner of the BBC
sports personality of the year. This makes placing
bets with WBX more exciting and current than many
traditional bookmakers and means there is something
for everyone.
WBX has a lively user forum where members can
discuss sports from Asian horse racing to cricket.
There are discussions for sharing strategies and
tips and more lighthearted discussions in the Jokes,
Puzzles and Games Forum. This is a social place
where you can debate on current topics of interest
and share tips online. A unique feature of the forum
compared to other betting exchange sites is its
willingness to let members speak openly regarding
its practices. WBX has very little control over the
forum, it is not heavily moderated. Members can talk
honestly about the site and posts are rarely
removed. This is typical of the transparency of WBX.
Additional Features

on security. The site is incredibly safe which
provides you with piece of mind while you play. The
