Have you Considered a Career in Betting Consultancy?

[Davidvictorson]

Arguably the UK’s most notorious sports bettor, Tony Bloom, is the owner of Starlizard, a company that describes itself as a betting consultancy.

Based out of Camden, London, Starlizard is also the sole adviser for Bloom’s betting syndicate, who every weekend have £1 million riding on any given football game.

This makes Starlizard the biggest betting syndicate in Britain and it is believed they make roughly £100 million a year, but that would be an average year.

Due to the secrecy surrounding the company, little is known about their total earnings, although it’s quite safe to assume it’s in the billions of pounds.

Starlizard’s 160 employees use complex statistical models to generate football odds that are more accurate than those offered by bookmakers. They even take into account the weather forecast and the overall morale of a team!

These ‘sharper’ odds are then sold to their clients so they themselves can beat the market! His much respected advice generates £13.8 million annually from customers.¹

Betting consultants are gurus who have cracked the secret code of increasing one's chances of beating the bookies and sportsbooks. They provide professional betting advice to clients. Betting consultants have the experience, the reputation (they have consistently generated profits for clients over time), the expertise, and the necessary information needed to make the right betting decision. They are not Jack of all trades instead, they have their specialty. Specializing in one or more but not all of the following sports - Football, Baseball, Boxing, Horse Racing, Cricket, Basketball, UFC, Golf, and Motosport at both the professional and other levels. According to ZipRecruiter, the national average salary of a Sports Betting Consultant per year in the US is $69,887. ²

Just like Tony Bloom and others, it is possible that you can turn your hobby into a profitable business venture if you are confident of your skillsets. Have you ever considered a career in betting consultancy?

It seems like a tough career path since you have to prove yourself by becoming a tipster and maintain a consistent win rate throughout thousands of picks. I enjoy making picks as a gambler but I wouldn't take that career as it feels like you're carrying a heavy pressure behind your back as their money would be tied to your picks. I remember there used to be a guy here in the gambling discussion that started a thread about their betting syndicate or maybe it was similar to a betting group as they have different guys focused on a single sport and he was also sharing some free picks once in a while.

Just like Tony Bloom and others, it is possible that you can turn your hobby into a profitable business venture if you are confident of your skillsets. Have you ever considered a career in betting consultancy?

Definitely. This is not even new but only just popular if true it is popular. Just as there are people providing trading signals so are people providing sport predictions. But if someone believe these people, the person will only fail.

It is good to avoid anything like this.

I had a friend that was scammed this way in the past. It will be more of means to scam.

Just as there are people providing trading signals so are people providing sport predictions.

These sets of persons make money mostly and their annual revenue is more from people who pay them for such tips. It is always better to develop the skill set than trust someone else blindly without an opinion of your own. Taking betting tips is very risky, you cannot always guarantee the betting consultant's state of mind which can easily be affected by situations.

Have you ever considered a career in betting consultancy?

For safety reasons, i wouldn't... especially when they have to pay me for it. I can give an unpaid tip which i will advice the person taking the yip to consider and not follow blindly, but i wouldn't want to take money for it, because consider a situation where someone who i collected money from for a tip and he lost a major amount to it staking with confidence, if he is the irresponsible kind, he may come after me wanting to get back his money and this may pose a danger to my life, family & close friends. So to not find myself in that situation, i cannot consider a career in betting consultancy.

For someone to ride this kind of career, it would take good knowledge on sportbook and how the outcome of a match could end. I don't see myself in this kind of career because I am not that good in prediction, I don't spend most of my time playing bets or forecasting games. I know of people that can work accurately I'm this kind of career due to their devotion and time that had been invested in gambling.

I have met with few gambling consultant  but I don't think they could have this kind of success because gambling is not mostly appreciated in my region. This result is very surprising looking at the success level of Tony Bloom as a gambling consultant. It is amazing to see this king of success!

[maydna]

I've never considered developing a career in betting consulting because I don't really know how to analyze a bet and don't have the resources to analyze it. This is not easy because we have to really understand the sport we are going to analyze, so maybe we need to learn to analyze a match and find which team or player has a chance to win. If we are used to analyzing this, we will have a good ability to analyze a match.

[Wexnident]

There'd only really be a small number of people who could get into it imo. In the first place reputation is the first and foremost thing you have to build up here and that's something really difficult imo without any type of big connections. After than, you're only customer base would probably come from bigshots, and seeing as they'd probably be pretty low on number compared to the number of consultants, well, it'd probably be a tight competition. I myself haven't really wanted to do it nor have I ever thought of it, but just thinking about it already gives me a headache on how to even start off with it.

[joeperry]

Is it the same as the people or services that gives betting tips? I didn't expect that they earned that much in a year, well what they are doing is not that easy and if they don't do it well they can lose customers and reputation too. But answering your question I don't consider it as a career since I've been playing sports betting in a year now and I know that I have more losses than winnings.

[Gozie51]

That will not be taken as career (despite money made from it by operators), although because of the development around the world many businesses are springing up and of course people are needed to take charge in them and take up responsibility and providing solution. If this is to be seen as career job , well it may but for what I know about gambling, it is with feeling of losses and profit non is guarantee while career is suppose to profer lasting and direct solution.

[sunsilk]

I don't think that I'm suitable to be one of those betting consultants but that seems to be something useful if you truly are a gambler.

I remember my friends that do gave tips not only for me but to other common friends of ours but they have never told me where they're getting all of those accurate predictions they've got for those games we bet before.

I've seen those people that are into this business from interviews and videos and they seem really legit based on the lifestyle they're living.

[Boristhecat]

This is serious? That is, there really are people whose analysis is so good that they can beat the bookmakers? Let's say this is so (I don't believe in it), but then why would they advise someone instead of playing on behalf of many front men and earning much more money than they receive from consultations? I don't see any logic in this. I know that information providers earn money, but their earnings are understandable - their job is to provide information and the better does the analysis himself.

Of course this is an opportunity to get other benefits from the hobby, but how is it possible to run a consulting service like this in a country that does not legalize gambling?

I don't think a service like this is appropriate in my country especially since gambling is illegal. However, it is possible to open consultation or rehabilitation services for those addicted to gambling and drug addiction who have government permits. Psychologist services are also one of the lucrative ones, some of my friends who are psychologists have so far managed to get a promising monthly income but of course they must first graduate as a Master of Psychology to build this licensed service.

Now thats what they call making gambling a career. A job that you would really like cause itsnwherenyou passion is. I wonder if anyone around works in a company like Starlizard share how they do things.

Not everyone can be a betting consultant but Starlizard has 160 employees, each perhaps have different specialties or they are grouped assigned to one sport alone to be updated for bookmarkers odds.

[rhomelmabini]

It's looks like a career that instead of being payed, you can actually make millions or even billions if you wanted to. Are they more  like the philanthropist in gambling world? How come they want to get paid for thousand of dollars, yet they can get more than that if they do it by themselves so they don't work for someone else. I'm quite intrigued about this career, or just probably a hoax and may rely on speculations too.

[fiulpro]

People who are exceedingly amazing in predicting the sports betting outcome are more or so able to understand the market, get down on the basics and at the same time can make money on positive outcomes which might be sold onto the other customers who might be interested in the same as well, but they won't be able to demand good amount of money for sure since people will only pay for a good outcome and what a sports bet does is ' provide the same details for free mathematically therefore there isn't any reason to have a personalized system, you might as well create a whole website but it's not really that profitable.

Being a betting consultant or tipster will require you to have concrete knowledge about gambling and you should show proof of constant winnings. It's also hard to convince people to trust you because several people have used this title to scam their clients. It's hard to please people nowadays and you should always have supporting proof to be a betting consultant.

I could not have said it better than this meme.I don't think these guys exists for real they may be some people really good at marketing and selling you this shit but true gamblers who have a lot of experience have no need for this kind of advice thus making this career irrelevant.

I am a slot player and I don't like any other type of game,how can someone who thinks of himself as a guru will help me to raise my chances of winning when slots are games that rely 100% on luck and I don't want any advice for other games,this makes this career irrelevant and impossible,so that is why I agree 100% with this meme.

[acroman08]

No, I never even thought of it. not only that I rarely bet on sports I also only bet on certain sports, athletes, and teams that I like and to top it off, I am on a negative profit on sports betting.

I agree with ralle14 that it seems like a tough "career" path since they would need to maintain their win rate above 50%(perhaps above 60%) or they would start losing gamblers asking for their tips.

they didn't really crack anything.

I have never seen any university or institution offering such course as betting consultancy. And I have never seen or heard of any firm offering such services. I am trying to visualize the scope of the job or the duties of a gambling consultant and I can't get many. I think one of their responsibility would be guiding or teaching newly established gambling firm and giving advice to companies or people that want to establish one. I think gambling psychology would be a nice course for me. They would help to control, predict and guide the behavior of gamblers.
