Are there any providers who offer a reasonable solution to start your own sportsbook for a reasonable price?

As a one-man team? Running a successful betting operation is much harder than many people think. It's certainly not something one person should attempt to do as a hobby. You need qualified staff to help you run all parts of the business. A security department to oversee the money and protect the site from outside forces; support personnel to handle client inquiries, a legal department for licenses, regulatory work; developers to help the site and the games run efficiently, and take care of all errors and bugs that will appear, etc. 

No, of course not, the reference is for a solution that is managed by a 3rd party (by the provider) and you integrate with this provider via API or any other ways, and then you pay commission to the provider for providing this solution, just the commission needs to be reasonable, not something that has a price high in the sky. Thanks.

sounds easy and only the API and still the provider will do their job. but also a better source of income if you successfully make it work. it might just depend on how much is that reasonable price you are talking about.

if it's only affordable for small-time investors who could pay just $5k a lot of us may have been doing it. but it must be hard work and security is the most important in this project. it might be easier just to develop under a private label and still have to work for the support.

Thanks for the feedback.

Do you know who's the sportsbook provider for TrustDice / Bitsler? Seems to be the same provider for them - do you know what is the name of this provider by any chance?

Sportsbooks usually don't disclose their odds providers easily based on my research though I did find a couple of links which probably could help you on your quest to create your own sportsbook.

Sportradar seems to be the most popular one among them and could be the provider that you are looking for.

Thank you!

Can I ask what's your opinino about this?

Why is it only $79, what's the catch?

Well firstly it looks like the games are all added manually. I don't see that it has any odds provider in it. Same goes for the leagues, etc.

So definitely not recommended if you want to launch a script like this online for people to use.

If you plan to run this locally for your local market i guess it isn't that bad, like those old school brick and mortar shops which offers sports bets on the side.
