Investing in Sports Betting and Bookmakers

I welcome everyone to my blog site, dear friends, colleagues and visitors!
Bookmakers began their activities a long time ago and everyone has certainly heard about them. With the spread of the World Wide Web, they have become popular due to the availability and ease of betting. Hence the question arises: is it possible to make money on bets and get money from it? Let's take a closer look. Today, there are a large number of people or privateers who have regular profits from bookmakers. A professional player thinks about investments, a long-term game, and is interested in long-term cooperation, while an amateur simply wants to win a bet and end the day with a profit. Some and others consider sports betting as an option for easy and quick enrichment.

Key benefits of investing in betting

Small starting capital: when playing at bookmakers, you can deposit 1000 rubles into your account and work to increase your capital.
High Return: With high risk, you can get high return in a short period of time, but it is a risky path. In the long term, with significantly lower risks, you will receive a high percentage of income.
With a professional approach, losing 100% of your capital is almost impossible: observing that investments in betting do not bring profit, even losses are observed, you can stop everything right away.
The ability to painlessly change your strategy of action: by withdrawing a deposit from a bank before the set time, you can lose interest. In betting, changing the vector of activity is a painless process that takes place without financial losses.
Possibility to withdraw part of the money or the entire amount at any time.

Why is the bet not an asset?

You can’t put a bet in your pocket, you can’t pay with it in a store, you can’t exchange it for any thing that has at least some value. The bet has no value, although your office says that there is, privateers and advertising say the same. And therefore you cannot invest in it, since there is not a single guarantee that it will bring profit. But if we stopped there, we would thus deny the entire history of bold investments in bold projects, such as, for example, cryptocurrency, the principle of the market of which most of the world’s population does not even understand, but which brought colossal interest to the brave innovators.

How much can you earn from sports betting?

Investments in bookmakers cannot be considered as a short-term process; stable income is possible only on a long-term basis.

There are “professionals” who loudly declare an increase in initial capital by 100% or more within a month. There are such cases, but more often they lose all their starting capital, since the basis is high risk. It is impossible to double your capital every month.

Professionals, when investing in bets, set a goal: to increase the bank by an average of 10-15% per month. Any professional will confirm that in betting this is a good result and quite realistic. In one month, small drawdowns are possible, when the profit is zero or there is a slight minus, but an average monthly increase of 10-15% is real.

If you increase the bank by 5% every month, you will end up with 79.58% per annum, which no bank in the world will offer.

At 10% per month, the profit becomes significantly greater.

An investor who declares that he increases the bank by 100% every month for a year is either incredibly lucky or a liar, more likely the latter.

Fitness club

A sports center is a profitable solution that requires serious investment. To open a fitness club, you need a large premises, specialized equipment, coaching qualifications or employees with appropriate education. Sports investing in opening a training center is a profitable option that provides a high and stable income.

Advantages:

demand;
the main volume of investment is the purchase of sports equipment;

This type of business in a minor area depends on the political and economic processes in the country. The goal is to open a fitness room in a place with minimal competition.

Flaws:

presence of competition (especially in densely populated cities);
additional costs for furnishing the premises;
seasonality (in summer the number of visitors decreases).

The gym pays for itself in 1-2 years, depending on the pace of development. This is a good option to invest money in sports, considering the profit margin.

Possible problems

Problems occur in any type of activity, and betting is not spared. Among them, we highlight the 3 most significant:

Psychology - when playing independently at a bookmaker, due to weak psychological stability, a player-investor can lose all his capital: trying to quickly get a large profit, he increases the risk, or if he initially loses part of the bank due to inexperience, he wants to win it back right away.
Fraud - many companies, having discovered that a player is making a profit every month, can block the account and not return even the initial capital. Therefore, be careful when choosing a bookmaker - reliable bookmakers do exist.
Incompetence of trusted persons - when playing in a bookmaker through trusted persons, professional players, an investor may lose money due to a drop in their level of play.

Promising direction

For decades, domestic sports have been financed exclusively from the state budget. And this influenced the fact that sport became an unprofitable industry, and the non-profit basis was maintained even after the collapse of the Soviet republics.

Only much later were prudent businessmen and investors able to use the experience of Western countries to identify the full potential of investing in sports. Moreover, there are all the prerequisites for this - during various perestroikas, changes of governments and repeated economic shocks, sports in Russia were undeservedly abandoned financially.

Nevertheless, this did not prevent domestic athletes from repeatedly making themselves known at world competitions. And the continuation of this trend in achieving sporting success in the future will depend on the actions of investors. Moreover, for them this activity brings very tangible dividends. An example of insight regarding investment in sports was the well-known Roman Abramovich, who bought a football club. These investments have already paid off more than once and brought their share of income to the new owner of the football team.

What is the difference between professional bettors and amateurs?

Ordinary fans place bets in bookmakers in order to increase adrenaline in the blood when watching a sporting event, increase excitement and interest in the match itself. Such bets are based on excitement and the desire to get pleasure if the bet wins. If a loss occurs, the amateur will not be upset.

Players who strive to make money on bets, but do not do half of what a professional does, are destined to remain at the amateur level:

Treating sports betting like a full-time job.
The game in BC follows an established algorithm and is based on strict self-discipline.
The bets are the result of a long and scrupulous analysis.
Constant self-improvement and work to increase psychological stability.

Own website

If you have an education in web programming, you can also invest in sports. Due to the large fan base, Internet services and forms that provide the opportunity to discuss events from the world of sports are popular. A web resource aimed at fans will provide a stable flow of visitors and income from advertising banners. On sports sites, any advertising is expensive, so earnings from the described project are high.

To get a stable income, you will need:

competent strategy;
authoritative experts;
constantly updated content;
convenient interface.

The downside is high competition. There are a large number of sites on the Internet with similar topics, which are difficult to beat in terms of popularity.

You must have knowledge and understand how to monetize your website to make it successful

Betting as a profitable investment

If you want to make betting a profitable investment, you need to take a few preliminary steps:

Choose an investment method.
Develop an investment strategy.
If you want to use the help of intermediaries, conduct a deep and thorough search for them, while simultaneously studying the rules and basic nuances of betting.
In the event of an initial negative result, which can happen when playing independently at first, consider further tactics.
Strictly follow the general action plan.

Types of investing in sports betting

There are three ways to organize your investment in sports betting.

Independent game . The most difficult way, you will need to spend a lot of time studying the rules of the bookmaker game, develop your own betting strategy - the process is long, a positive result may not come immediately. The main advantage is that the investor does not depend on anyone and will not fall for a fraudulent intermediary.

Buy forecasts from a professional privateer . It is required to carefully approach the search and selection of a privateer whose forecasts bring profit over a long distance. Disadvantage - the privateer can provide bad forecasts; at the time of subscribing to the privateer’s forecasts, a losing streak may begin, one of the common phenomena.

With this approach, it is advisable to form a portfolio of privateers. If one starts to draw down, you can stay in the positive zone at the expense of the others.

SPAM accounts – trust management . The investor does not place bets; a group of professionals makes bets for him. The investor transfers money to a SPAM account - no one else has physical access. The money in the SPAM account is deposited by professional players, and the investor pays commissions and part of the winnings. The advantage is that you don’t need to spend a lot of time playing BC.

Sports nutrition store

Investing in sports doesn't have to involve betting. In this area, you can open your own business without engaging in betting. Your own sports nutrition store is one of the best investment options. There is not the highest competition in this area, and to start a business it is enough to rent a premises and find a supplier of quality products.

The downside is the limited number of regular customers, which is why the maximum profit limit is limited. In addition, the sales volume of sports nutrition depends on the season, since most people purchase such products in the spring to get in shape for the summer.

Despite this, sports investments in this industry are a profitable solution for people who need a small but stable profit with minimal costs. If you buy a franchise from a well-known brand, you won’t have to do any marketing. A sports nutrition store pays for itself in 6 months.

When opening an online store, you will not need to spend investments on rent

Investment strategies

The game in bookmakers consists of many elements; if everything is not connected correctly, success is impossible. It is necessary to develop a general strategy of action:

understand all the intricacies of betting;
develop a working game strategy and test it, choose a financial strategy;
plan your daily work schedule;
select reliable bookmakers and open an account there, start placing bets;
develop an action plan in case of a negative result, etc.

This is an investment strategy for playing independently at a bookmaker. But for some bettors, the main goal is not only to make a profit from investing with an independent approach. Their main goal is to reach a professional level and start selling forecasts, or join the privateer community and promote SPAM accounts and receive decent commissions for this. That is, over time, without investing personal money, you can make good money from your professional betting skills.

Sporting goods store

A training equipment store is another type of own business. This option is especially relevant for people who know how to make exercise equipment and sports equipment on their own. In this case, the main investment will be required to pay for tools and materials. You can set up an online store for sales.

By opening a self-service store, you can save up to 40% on costs . This type of business pays off in 2 years.

Reselling ready-made sporting goods will require large financial investments.
