Betfair Price Rush: get the best odds from the Betting Exchange
- Written by Simon Bettarini
BETFAIR PRICE RUSH: HOW IT WORKS
The way it works is this: every time a Sportsbook bet is placed, Betfair checks the Exchange for higher odds. If better odds are available, they’ll automatically be given on the Sportsbook.
The Betfair Price Rush is the latest development from the firm, and while it will not have the impact that the cash out function has, it is an exciting link between the exchange and the Betfair Sportsbook.
Price Rush pumps more money into the Betfair Exchange. So Lay-bettors are likely to have their lay bets matched more often. This is the first link between the exchange and the sportsbook operation, but more will follow.

Do I need to pay commission with ‘Price Rush’?
No, you don’t have to pay commission. Even though we have used the Exchange to be able to offer you these improved odds, you are still betting against Betfair through the Sportsbook.
Where can I see my bets used with ‘Price Rush’?
You can view your bet, like any other Sportsbook bets, in ‘My Account’ à ‘My Bets’. When using ‘Price Rush’ the adjusted price will be reflected straight away in ‘My Bets’.
When is ‘Price Rush’ available?

Could I ever be disadvantaged with Price Rush and given worse odds than I had originally selected?
No. You will be given the odds you selected or better, where Betfair can find you better odds through their Exchange.
Can I still Cash Out if my bet gets a Price Rush?
If your bet qualifies for Cash Out (look for the orange Cash Out icon on the betslip), you can still Cash Out even if the bet has had a Price Rush. Betfair take into account the higher odds you have got for your bet when we calculate your Cash Out offer.
