The company said that they forecast underlying profit of around £73 million on revenues of £387 million for the year to end April, it announced on a trading update.
Estimates earlier were for £65-70 million profit and revenues in the range of £370-385 million.
Betfair also raised its cost cutting target, which was previously £20 million to £30 million
In the report there was no mention of the 880p-a-share bid approach from the private equity firm CVC, which the board last month rejected.
Betfair dismissed the approach as “highly conditional” and one that “fundamentally undervalues the company and its attractive prospects”.
CVC, best known for its ownership of Formula One, has until May 13 to table a formal bid although that deadline could be extended.
