On an exchange you bet against other people rather than against a bookmaker. That one difference is why the prices are better and why you can bet on something losing as easily as winning.
How Exchange Betting Differs From a Bookmaker
A traditional bookmaker sets the price and builds its margin into it. Every price you see is shaded in the book's favour, which is how it stays profitable whatever the result.
An exchange does not set prices at all. Bettors set them by offering each other bets, and the exchange takes a small commission on net winnings. Because there is no built-in margin, back prices are typically noticeably better than the same market at a fixed-odds book.
The second difference matters more once you get used to it: you can lay. Laying means taking the other side — accepting someone else's bet, and winning if the outcome does not happen. It is the half of betting a Pakistani punter normally never gets access to.
