Sports Book Info

Overview

Originally, BetFred was founded as a single shop known as Done Bookmakers in the United Kingdom by Fred and Peter Done in 1967. They invested winnings from a bet placed on England to win the 1966 World Cup to fund the opening of betting shop. In 1997, they acquired the Robert Walker chain of bookmakers, which brought their number of shops to 100.

By 2000…

…they doubled the number of shops to 200, and by 2002 Done Bookmakers introduced their first location in the greater London area. By 2004 they first began using the name BetFred and launched their digital platform betfred.com. This online presence has enabled them to grow exponentially, and they have become an industry leader in the sports betting market.
