If you want to trade seriously - I think that getting access to Betfair will be very wise.

If you want to bet for fun, then I think it doesn't really matter, any exchange will do.

You can log in to all sites and see odds and matched volume. Usually the odds offered on betfair are the best (unless you have a fast bot which catches prices as they move, in which case you want to trade all of the exchanges simultaneously, of course).
Also they usually offer the highest available liquidity.
But, overall, the difference is not huge, and if you can beat horses (a big if!), then the 1% or so difference in price probably won’t be such a huge factor.
