Why would anyone use a betting broker? Have you tried it?

[Taskford]

I have never used the services of a betting broker because it always seemed to me that only newbies use such services and to be honest I have a negative attitude towards trust management. In my opinion, it is a completely unnecessary link between the gambling site and the player.

Can't believed that after all the discussion here, that's your thought about a betting broker. I respect your opinion but..

Contrary to your belief, not newbies but professional gamblers always use a betting broker service. And if you have a negative attitude towards trust management, then just apply your way on how you select a good service as on any website. There's no linking of a gambling site to a player here. It's a tool that a casual sports bettor won't understand.

For sure he never try to use the service of betting brokers or even have on idea on what is their service offered to their bettors. And I respect his opinion about that since maybe his not really unto gambling and doing this for entertainment purposes only. Also negative thinking about that services is normal since many scams happened in the past until today so expect  people will think about negative on that options.

I'd say that the majority of users for these full-time sports betting brokerages are from restricted jurisdictions.

There is really no reason to use them otherwise, since you are likely going to get the same if not better odds just by placing wagers on the site directly. The odds boosts are probably some form of a gimmick more than anything tangible.

Also, note that some of the sportsbooks that you think you're betting direct with may actually be brokers that essentially earn a spread off your bet - although the exact business model of each sportsbook obviously differs.

If only they have a choice then they would not use a broken, like you said, there are countries that are restricted to access a gambling site and therefore those gamblers who really like to gamble has no option but to use the broker service.

This is true, I notice a site before that the spread is not really up to the standard, and though they didn't say they are a broker but it's not good to gamble in a site when there are other sites that offers a very competitive betting odds.

We should be thankful that crypto sportsbook has increased in numbers, that way we will be able to find a lot of alternatives.

Or maybe he never knows about betting broker service, because if a person does not gamble too often, he will not know a service like that, especially if that person is gambling using crypto.
It is hard to trust someone or services, especially if that service broker is new to him.
Maybe someday, he can search for that service, and I think that service will be available on his local casino which has a list of the gambling games.
But do not use that service if he doubts that the betting broker can not handle his money with the right.

[Fundamentals Of]

I have not tried using a broker before because it is unnecessary to me. I am playing in gambling sites which are legal in my country. I am not really looking for the best of odds every time I bet either. My betting sites of choice may not offer the best of odds out there but I am already contented with my experiences with them. And most of all, I am just a seasonal bettor so betting caps are not problems to me. I don't bet all the time.

To be honest, I am not ready to pay for the services of a betting broker because I do not play for large sums. In addition, with my work schedule I can interrupt my work at any time and place a bet. The only thing I need is a good enough mobile Internet signal for that.

Having good mobile internet is probably the best thing for betting because you can easily adapt to changes in Odds on the go. If you have enough time to do your own research and compare Odds across different bookmakers then there is definitely no need to use a betting broker. It might be good for older people who are not so good with smart phones and don't want to use a their phone extensiely while being away from home. In the end if you make decent money with betting, paying a small fee for a broker seems fine if he helps you to increase your returns.

Some people prefer to choose to use certain broker probably because of some reasons:
- The broker is reputable and trusted, they have proven to give more profits
- The gamblers are not sure enough with their own predictions
- Simpler to use a broker
 and more other maybe

But personally, I never use it for betting

[gadado]

it can be useful if you can't gamble directly with a site for some reason. I always have an unpleasant feeling when you should gamble through a broker, so in principle you are dependent on 2 parties that you must be able to trust. That may be just a bit too much to ask. in general i think its used to avoid juridisctions?

For those who can freely play without any problems in talks of legalities or jurisdictions then these kind of service would really be helpful
and i do think that this is the main reason on why such service is really on that existence.Some might be boggling up their minds on why the
heck will someone use of a betting broker if we can make our own freely? without even thinking that there are people who are
really restricted to do so or simply they are just too lazy.

You are right and for those who dont have idea on what it is then better read this up.

As mentioned;

Betting brokers (betting agents) provide their customers with accounts for major Asian bookmakers and betting exchanges, where players can have the best available odds on the market. Your broker guarantees anonymity for your betting action, which is very important for professional players. There is no commission charged on any of your placed bets. Standard practice of betting exchanges is to apply a commission on winning bets, but having an account via broker, commissions will be significantly lower than usual.

The broker will take care of depositing/withdrawing your funds and you can easily transfer money between your different bookmaker accounts.

The reason you say is true, because now many people want to play gambling but are not sure of their analytical skills on the team that will play.
So when betting, sometimes choosing the wrong team, eventually making betting brokers start to be in demand. Because there have been many
betting brokers that have sprung up with evidence of successfully making a lot of profit. Therefore must be careful if Gamblers use a betting broker.
Always choose a reputable and trusted one.

I don't think that's what brokers do, I guess they'll only accept bet instead of betting directly to the site where we are restricted, in terms of choosing the bet, it's still on us, and broker can't dictate nor influence us with our decision.

Also negative thinking about that services is normal since many scams happened in the past until today so expect  people will think about negative on that options.

There's nothing scam on that service mate. The service is 100% legit and it was popularly used.

The scam part is the platform that offers that service so as always, gamblers should make DYOR first before looking for a platform.

Perhaps, he got bad experience with a betting broker or heard about that broker's scam, so he decided not to use their services because that is related to the money that he gave to the broker. It is normal to see he say like that because he wants to prevent to get scam by others or by the broker, and that is right, it is our responsibility to take care of our money and not give the money to the services that we don't trust. But there is a trust betting broker that will help gamblers bet, but we need to search for the right broker.

[kryptqnick]

Insanerman, if a platform restricts players for a certain country, I think one should simply not use this platform if one is from this country. Moreover, there's no need to go to the betting broker if one wants to access the website after all, since as some have already mentioned in the thread before, using a VPN makes more sense in that case.
madnessteat, you might be right about newbies using brokers, but I think someone mentioned in the thread that in real life it's actually experienced big-time gamblers who use them. Oh, and augustina2 also mentioned this point after your post.
After 4 pages of this discussion, there're still no gamblers here who said they used a broker.

But it will not be easy to find the right betting broker among the others, and reading the review from each of them will not always give a solution. But once we found the right betting broker, we can stay to use their services to help us to place the betting. I do not use that betting broker, but I collaborate with my friends, who will place the betting for us. I think that is better for me as I do not have to search for which trusty betting broker. You need to be careful to choose the betting broker, and better to ask your friend who uses that service.

This is technically the same thing, if you pay something for the service.

Since you are the only one in this thread who uses something akin to betting broker, I'd like to ask you about your experience.

1. For how long you've been doing this?

2. How much do they charge(if any)?

3. What is your overall profit from this business so far?

I'm saying "business", because, imo, it's not entertainment anymore once you've started using a betting broker or collaborating with your friends in order to place bets.

I send some amount of money to my friend who often places on the sports betting. I do not know where he places that betting, but I do not pay any service to my friend because we use some money together to place the betting. Maybe there is a fee that my friend spent, but he never told me about that, so I do not know.

Since I do not know to send too big money to him, I do not complain if he only sends a small amount. Let say, we use each $10, so our initial funds to place the bet will be $20. If we win, we will split that money between both of us. But if we lose, we lose together. Win or lose that will be the same for me because I do not place betting too often with him.

That is still entertainment because I only watch the game, and the rest will be set it up by my friend.

I've never been using this kind of broker my whole life in gambling few of them are on knowledge and skill, sometimes having mistakes due to unexpected things like the underdog winning the game. If you are using a broker and wage to those underdog teams there is a chance you will make it double not even but also triple the wage you have.

Sometimes I follow the prediction of other people most likely those sports I'm not good at it and doubting my research. Some of my friends there is a broker but not on the crypto gambling mostly in e-sports
