The betting line offered by Betfred is typical of English bookmakers, with a strong focus on sports such as tennis, football, horse racing, dog racing, basketball, baseball, American football, and golf.

Coverage for competitions in popular sports extends to the second or third tier. However, bettors will not find many 'exotic' options that might appeal to British users, such as betting on the Polish second league in hockey or the Swedish third division in football.

The odds for sports popular in Great Britain are among the best in the market, whereas for widely followed sports like football, hockey, and tennis in our country, they are average.

By default, Betfred utilizes the fractional odds format, which is standard in Great Britain.

The odds offered by Betfred are generally average, with a margin of 5-7%. However, the odds for horse racing and dog racing are particularly favorable for bettors. In contrast, the situation for other sports is less appealing: football and hockey have margins of 7-8%, basketball ranges from 5-6%, and baseball and American football fall between 4-5%

Betfred provides users with extensive live coverage of most current events, including less popular tournaments like the Egyptian football championship. While the live schedule is satisfactory, it is not without its flaws: all major markets are available, but there are no standout features.

For major matches, the bookmaker offers online broadcasts accessible in the 'Watch Live' section. Additionally, even lesser matches come with infographics displaying statistics.

The bonus program at Betfred is advantageous for both new and existing customers. Unfortunately, it may not be available to players from some countries. However, there are several notable offers:

• A welcome free bet of £30 for a first bet of £10 with odds of at least 2.0.
• A £10 free bet if your horse finishes in second place.
• Football accumulator insurance up to €10 in case of a loss.

Betfred bookmaker has other promos and almost all of them are dedicated to horse racing. You can find out about the current offers in the "Promo" section.
