Is it worth being a sports betting scalper?

[Hirose UK]

If from what you said I actually have conclusion that he did all that with the aim of attracting more people to bet, on the other hand he wanted to take advantage of either his knowledge in analyzing or his experience so far about gambling to be able to generate some personal profit.
But I once again really would not believe such statement, if he had prediction that could be guaranteed and had an 85% accurate percentage then clearly he would not work in betting shop but become gambler who bets his own predictions to make more money.

Moreover, if we do the same thing it might be risky for ourselves considering that when claiming that the prediction is 85% accurate and ultimately fails then we will get bad perspective and even be considered fraud.
It is better to do some better work than being betting prediction provider.

[Solosanz]

Let aside the 85% winning chance, it means if you work in this profession, you're trade your life for money.

You need to work for 24/7 which mean you will not sleep.
You need to be available and make analysis for entire your life, this is nothing different than become a slave.

I will never work in this profession, life isn't all about money, if you don't care with your health, you can sell your kidney for money.

It is difficult to say how accurate the topic starter's friend's predictions are. But her claims that her predictions are 85% correct seem too controversial and exaggerated to me. However, this is generally easy to check. There is nothing easier than collecting statistics on the results of her predictions. You just need to understand that more or less correct figures will only be in the long term. If she collected statistics on a small data set, then this high percentage may be due to chance. Let's say she made 100 predictions and 85% of them accidentally turned out to be successful. But if she makes 1000 or 10,000 predictions, then such statistics will show the real distribution. I think the success rate of her predictions will tend to 50%. As for the question of whether she has a good job - I think she does not always have to choose her job. Often we do not have a very large choice.

A scalper business is a good one to try but that will only if he have knowledge how to use that for additional income. But we will difficult to use that for our main job because that prediction will not always right.
We must have the other job that can give us an income so we can still fills our daily needs from that job. That scalper business can give a side income to us so we can save that money for our future.
Worth it or not, that will depends on how we can use it because if we don't have any customers, we will not make money. So that is why we must have a job that can gives us money by routinely.

You have just said the truth and nothing but the truth. Scalper business should be a side hustle and not a main job. Because it's not easy to keep predicting a possible wining game, you must be good in watching football and have that analytical skill to predict nice Games that Will keep your followers upto date. Your chance of succeeding is Given them possible wining outcome. Failure to predict better chance of winning attract dumping of the WhatsApp or telegram group for another.

It's been a while since I started a topic here.

I know a female friend who works from home selling betting tickets for a casino. She has a WhatsApp group where she posts the matches. From what i could see, she also posts the odds, ready-made tickets, and claims her predictions are over 85% accurate.
.

The cool thing about this profession is that it can be done from home. Now, the question is whether it's worth it.

over 85% accuracy? Isn't that too exaggerated for a prediction or is it just part of a marketing strategy this friend of yours is using to catch the attention of customers to try her predictions because there is no way any gambler at all can retain a certain percentage of consistency with games predictions.... I mean no way!

It's cool that it can be done from home not until an angry and frustrated customer that may have lost an appreciable budget get to attack her at home after incurring several losses which would have cause him to react aggressive. We are in an internet age, if the business seems to be profitable for her then let her take it online by owning a domain where interested customers can just stay at the comfort of their home and patronize her although I don't she makes profit because predictions can't be consistently accurate to a certain degree.

[TravelMug]

As what others have said, 85% seems to be absurd, we all know that it's not that possible to have that kind of winning margin, unless you have the crystal ball to predict and see the future. For what's it's worth though, if she is earning money then good for her, maybe others believed in his capacity to predict and make them money so it's going to be a circle and win-win situation for her, earning money from them, and then gamblers betting for better returns.

That is her marketing though, maybe in the future she will put up a domain for his services. But I think he doesn't want to saturate her market and so she could just be offering her tickets to just a couple of patrons, hence she uses WhatsApp.

The common scalper profession in my country is ticket scalper because usually if there is big event especially for sport event then these scalper start to selling the tickets to the people who unable to buy it because they have ran out of tickets to watching the match and usually the scalper will sell it to high price to the people who willing to buy it and if we see from these situation obviously scalper can be considered as profitable profession because they can earn a lot of money from it

This is the first time to me heard about sport betting scalper and if she have enough evidence to prove that she is telling the truth and not lying that she really has 85% accuracy from her prediction statistics i think this profession might be will be profitable because i am sure people will be satisfied to her tips and will being an loyal costumers for her because those percentages of winning is very high

[Kelward]

She has to be on her cell phone 24hrs a day and barely sleeps for fear of missing the games to pass on her predictions.

The cool thing about this profession is that it can be done from home. Now, the question is whether it's worth it.

Anyone who claims theor predictions are 85% accurate and needs to sell them is lying.  There would be no reason for you to make money when you can snipe 85 out of every 100 games you bet.  Can she have hit that one week, sure but over the long run nobody continually beats the book that bad otherwise sports betting wouldn't exist for long.

Precisely, if it's possible that a person can have predictions that is always around %85 accurate, I don't think that they'll be hustling to sale it. She doesn't need to stress herself by merchandising it, she'd just be playing the games and cashing in all the wins quietly without trying to involve the public. Gambling is based on luck and anybody that is giving you games to play is also gambling by giving you the games because they're not sure whether it'll be a perfect selections. I doubt that sports bets companies will survive if sure predictions are always up to %85 correct

[Adbitco]

Never really heard the term betting scalper. I have heard of a ticket scalper, obviously not the same thing. As far as selling your predictions to people, if you can get enough loyal customers then you could probably make a pretty good amount of money weekly. Your issue is if you go on a cold streak and start picking a lot of losers, people are going to go elsewhere. I think it would be a taxing job if you are doing the proper research and you need to be ready for the losing streaks as they are real.

If you can handle the lows, then you will be ok.

Task over there could be much because is not really that easy to picking games and just that it's for ones but on a regular basis where he needs to be supplying much games to the people on his group, and of a true he don't needs to be having much copious games. Just within 2 odds to 10 odds to increased the winning probabilities but must be ready to accept the task being active, why not if he thinks he is good in predictions then he could make cool cash from it while people keep paying for his games.

[crwth]

I imagine she earns through the fees for these bets and probably includes them in the bets. I feel like they are trying to make bets for someone, but initially, when I read your post, she bets with low odds, making it a higher chance of winning and “scalping” the profits because it is small.

It's hard to trust someone when you can do it yourself. I don't think it would be a profitable thing to begin with.

I haven't tried it yet. But is the scalper business a good one? Can you make it your main job? I didn't ask her how much she earns because it might be rude, but from what she tells me, she started in less than a year. Sometimes she doesn't have many customers buying, which makes her have a more or less profitable week.

She has to be on her cell phone 24hrs a day and barely sleeps for fear of missing the games to pass on her predictions.

The cool thing about this profession is that it can be done from home. Now, the question is whether it's worth it.

I have friends that are doing this kind of business full time. They earn from commissions of their sales and I think that because that the number of gamblers have grown a lot, they're able to make that much and decently to treat it as their full time source of income and a main job. And by observation, it seems that it's very worth it for them because they have a full cooperation with the actual bookie or casino that they're working under.

I think the right label for them are betting agents. But about the one that distributes 85% of accuracy for the bets, I don't think that there's something like that. That person should stay in selling betting tickets instead of selling her predictions as well so this means that she is having two sources there aside from selling betting tickets. My friends have also those predictions by they're not guaranteeing any percentage or how much good they are, they're showing results and most of it are just based on their opinion.

[KiaKia]

I will prefer to by a domain and set up a prediction website instead which people will know that not all my predictions will be correct. All that I need is to make like 70% accurate predictions daily and you will see people coming to check for predictions daily. The site can be monetized with ads.

This is a good plan, but for someone who have the money they can spend on setting up a secured website, not everyone will be able to afford this and running a group on telegram or WhatsApp just safe you lot of money.

I will never work in this profession, life isn't all about money, if you don't care with your health, you can sell your kidney for money.

Too much of everything is where the word 'bad' comes in, when the payment is good you need to sacrifice some time from your life and make money then quit, you don't have to keep doing this all the days of your life, humans start from somewhere, when you make enough you move into something easier and use your money to start making more money instead of your strength and body.

[Reatim]

I think like with any other job, it would depend on your skill set and capacity to make a living out of it. Sports scalping is incredibly risky and requires huge amount of money for you to actually make a significant profit that could sustain your daily needs. If you have neither the knowledge and money for it then I don't think it's worth it and enough to be a full time job. Though I do know some who went full time. Were they successful? Yes but again it depends on the person.

Profit wise it’s really a good job since you have nothing to lose while your earnings is based on the commission of your sales which gives huge profit if you already have a circle of customers.

The only problem with this kind of business is the pressure to make your prediction correct since 85% is too high for someone to guarantee a win rate. There’s a high chance that she  will deal with disappointed customers once his prediction goes wrong while bettors bet huge amount since they rely on high winning rate.

A risky business if you are dealing with customers that know you personally however this is good if you are anonymously selling tickets.

[xLays]

I didn't know that scalping also happens in sports betting I thought it was only happens in concert ticket sales (I also heard about scalping in trading). Lol. I did some research since I was unfamiliar with this and here's what I found. Scalping in sports betting typically happens when there's a sudden increase in demand for odds or bets on a particular game or team. Just like in concert ticket scalping, the goal in sports betting scalping is to make a profit by quickly selling or adjusting bets when their value increases. Does my research about betting scalping correct? lol

[Pandu Geddon]

The cool thing about this profession is that it can be done from home. Now, the question is whether it's worth it.

some do the job, of course, there must be benefits to be gained. if it is not profitable, your friend will not be a scalper for sports betting.
no one knows how much profit is made, if you ask your friend maybe he will not answer honestly. that is the business he wants. if they are more interested it might disturb his customers.

people work with their dedication. now maybe your friend is just a broker who can be said to offer his services from door to door. but in the future with his hard work maybe he can become an agent who cooperates with sports betting providers.

You are right that the lady may not be telling the truth. She is not telling the truth if she is making daily predictions. Anyone that is betting daily will be losing money to the bookies. That is just the truth. But your second statement is not partially correct. I am not referring to casinos but bookies. Infrequent bettors that are good in analysing matches can still make money from betting. I am referring to people that may not bet more than ones in a week or they may not even bet at all. But still you are not also wrong because nearly all gamblers and bettors are losing money than making money.

[Darker45]

Whether this is profitable or not, I don't think I will ever get into it. This isn't my cup of tea. This kind of hassle attracts trouble. I might only end up hiding because of angry customers who lose big and who think they are scammed by my predictions.

Although I don't believe that your friend's predictions are truly beyond 85% accurate, this matters little in the end. Some customers who are bitter losers will always end up disappointed and blame the scalper.

The cool thing about this profession is that it can be done from home. Now, the question is whether it's worth it.

Working from home doesn't guarantee that you're having the best time doing a particular job. There are a lot of regular 9 to 4pm jobs that are less stressful with good pay and that's even more decent than what she's doing. It's totally her choice to do that and it's possible she just wants to be self-employed and go on to make some cash from the betting industry since she probably has a wealth of experience in the chosen field.

One advantage of this sort of strategy is that once you've built a good reputation and have a God chunk of people that patronize you, it's easy to make a lot of money from it. I've had experience working with a platform that does something close to this although it was more organized because they had an app. You fund your wallet and then they use the amount you've funded to stake some games for you, if you win, you get 60% of the profit while they get 40% and if you lose, your money is redeposited back into your account. That sort of helps in creating trust although in the long run, most of them end up running away with people's money which makes it too risky.
