Is it worth being a sports betting scalper?

[Obim34]

A friend of mine was in a similar group and claimed it was accurate; however, if I can't believe something that I cannot see with my own eyes, I'm having a hard time believing that her group's predictions are 85% accurate.

Back in the days I used to use some of these groups and all of them do not deliver what they claim. They will only posts the success stories but all the losing events are not a part of their promotions.

Of course the business is lucrative. When you have a good marketing team, and able to attract players then charging a subscription fees can make you good money. You are not losing anything at all but investing time and managerial skills.

Truly from what you said, just a few of what they deliver to their subscribers pay, most of them ends ups editing the results of the games just to prove credibility. One strategy they use is going down to less division leagues and selecting options from there because most at times it's hard to detect when they edit their losses since subscribers may barely know or know nothing about the selected fixtures bet on.

The possibility of making fortunes are just from the new subscribers, left for any one who has continously seen losses to continue paying for such expect there is a good reflection of profits.

Just from your entire writing, it seems it’s not just worth to even you and I think the best answer should be from the scalper herself but if you want to know if it’s worth it, then you should starting watching your female friends life and maybe you might tell if it’s worth it or not.

Very rare for a woman to engage in sports betting and she seems really doing well to make a living through it with 85% prediction rate. She must have known the sport very well and followed all the stuff.

I'm not very familiar with the term sports betting scalper but with that kind of prediction rate and predicting it while the game hasn't yet started, it would really mean she's that good.

Yeah you’re right and the fact that the scalper is a woman, make it more enticing for readers because there are careers that seem more of manny and anything gambling, we’ll agree that, it’s a typical example of the career meant for men and not woman and seeing her with claims of 85% accuracy is a great sign that she’s good at what she does and that’s a great example for other woman that thinks it’s impossible.

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.

If I could make like 70% accurate predictions daily like you said, I think that the prediction website would be useless because I would be already living and drinking cocktails in Bahamas

Back on topic, I believe that if you are good at the job you can make a living being a sports betting scalper. That's not a job I would like to do, and I don't think I would be good at it either, but the question was whether it is worth and proof is that some people live simply providing such services.

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.

I haven't tried it yet. But is the scalper business a good one?

As on her own side, its a good and lucrative business to do, inasmuch as she's being able to pull the required traffic on her platform and they are buying or subscribing for her predictions, business is all about having the idea of what people want and creating a gap in bridging over the demands for that specific thing through your own personal initiatives, but we should not accept the assumption that all her predictions are 85% accuracy, the business have been moving and that is why you could see her still on other to of it, knowing the various ways to get the attention of the general public is another way to make it running and profitable.

Easy to prove, easy to ask the obvious question, if he has such a high rate of getting the right score, why is she not keeping the tickets for herself rather than going through all the work of finding customers and getting paid by them instead of ruining bookies with her skills?

It's the same scam, you sell half of your customers one result and the others a different one, with enough persuasion you can keep a few of the ones that still lost for another round, while again taking their money for nothing while the winning half would be enthusiastic and willing to pay you even more. Now the second run comes and if again it's the losing side that gets the wrong odds then you lost those, but you still have half of your customers that are happy about getting the right ticket twice in a row and they will be more than happy to spread the word and get more people on board your scheme.

85% is insane, unless we talk about games with odds lower than 1.25 on average there is absolutely no chance in hell for this to keep going even for a month-long, and at those odds the returns are also pretty bad so you need to risk more to make a few hundred dollars.

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  do not have a flair for any profession that steals my time so much like your friend's job. What's the point working from home when you are always on the job 24hrs a day? That job doesn't seem cool to me. For your friend to be consistent with the betting scalper job, it means she somehow has passion for her job. Yea! Anyone who intends to go into such business line should be passionate about it so they do not get bored while on the job. If you are considering going into that line of business, then you should be sure you can handle the stress that comes with the job and not only interested in the money you think she is making from being a sports betting scalper.

Come to think of it, why would anyone who has the ability to predict scores which are 85% accurate sell them instead of placing such bets themselves inorder to win the money?

For anything that has to do with long term practice, there is always the need to have motivations since that is the fuel to your consistency, and for that there most build such a motivations and desire for the job, because there are alot of factures that could make a someone to become uninterested in his or her job most especially when working remotely, and for sure many have lost motivations along the way, but if you want to go far in such line of business, that means you have to remain consistently positive and high spirited not to burn out yourself before the work.

But the issue of staying on phone for 24 hour's and yet you said she doesn't sell regularly, makes it more clear that the ops may be exusted at some point, and for that changing approach is and will do alot of good for him at this point, instead wasting time on the phone, he can start by having some sound sleep so to balance the brain in other to focus well.

You are correct, actually that scam is very old and existed previous than the widespread implementation of social media and messengers like Telegram. Old scammers used the same trick, by sending thousands of mails with a prediction to people and then thousands of the opposite result to other people. By the end of the scam they would always have around a hundred of people who believe those claims of over 80% of accuracy from the scammer and would be willing to pay even more money for more information, which is supposedly premium and valuable.
Because of the existence of applications like Telegram and WhatsApp, it has become easier for scammers from all around the world to do their scheme, rise and repeat their crime until they have accumulated much wealth.

More than 80% of success rate is actually high. So yeah, such claim can be bogus. There may be times that she can get the right odds but in the long term, it would be hard to give such high success rate. Later on, she can encounter customers who are not satisfied with her services and may create trouble.
Also, the tedious job it requires as you need to be almost 24/7 with your phone even if you are only working at home. If you missed one game, you will feel hatred of yourself.
Now, my piece of advice is this - if you have other options to find a decent job, better go for it. It won't require you so much of your time as this activity can deprive your sleep.

OK, now I am gonna be sincere and say that this is another dimension to or of betting scam I really never knew existed at all, I mean what the f**k 🤦, no wonder when I was still in some sports betting groups on telegram, many a times the admin will give out some free games predictions, most of us will bet on the game, and at the end of the day, some will win while others will lose.

What the admin used to do was tell us that there is a new game available, and that as many that are interested to bet on it, should indicate it and he will send the prediction as private message to the persons, majority of the time, the group is always locked possibly because he doesn't want who suspect his activities to come forward to complain about it and possibly warn other.
This continued until I decided to just stop betting on other people's picks but mine and mine alone.

Now I understand better, and this is actually surprising.

[Outhue]

The reason why predictors are looking for people to sell their predictions to is because they can't always be right, and they need to keep making that cash flow, if they are so sure of their predictions to the rate of 80 percent then there is no need to look for people, they will just focus on doing the gambling themselves and keep cashing in cool money.

[Hatchy]

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

Though I think the word scalper is not a suitable term to use for her in this place. But then regardless of it she might be making good money from the business since she clearly understands the risk involved and still involved in such business. Like you said. She has a whatsup group, where she sells this odds to people. If truly she is a sports person and understands the games she will have more members in the group as her games might actually be profitable to them. It's a good job form her something like a side hustle. But my question is that if she can create these predictions, why hasn't she been using it for her own self? Or doesn't she trust her games? But trust it will work for others.

[bakasabo]

I might believe that someone really is able to make 85% win rate in sports betting, but I will never believe that a person decides all of a sudden to share his strategy for nothing. We all know how greedy people are. If that woman was really being so good at betting, she would stay silent and try to earn as much as possible, because casinos prefer to close accounts of such successful gamblers. But we have a different situation, she runs a group where she shares info. From this part it makes no sense to believe her.

[Tmoonz]

There's no right or wrong answer to your question. To her, it's worth the trouble. I personally wouldn't prefer having my salary depend on something so unpredictable and uncertain, but some people may be fine with that. I wouldn't be okay with my salary stemming from gambling; it's not an investment.

A friend of mine was in a similar group and claimed it was accurate; however, if I can't believe something that I cannot see with my own eyes, I'm having a hard time believing that her group's predictions are 85% accurate.

I agree with what you said and moreso I usually asked myself that if those games has a higher chances of possible outcome, my question has always been that why can't they give out such games on agreement that payments will be made after winning, that way they will have more customers to patronize such business, as for me I can never be interested in getting involved with such business that is very open and prone to argument between you and those that is patronizing after giving certain level of assurance of winning and things goes the opposite direction.

The method of running this is poor, a website would be much better than just a whatsapp or telegram group. If you are putting your own health at stake then there is nothing worse, soon you will get sick and not be able to continue, so use a website if you are willing to follow your friend.

Now when it comes to morals, this type of jobs are not something I recommend, but others may differ in personal opinions. You are claiming to have 85% winning rate, which is next to impossible, the casino would go broke, hence the marketing is fraudulent but it does not matter to the ones taking this service.

It is borderline scam, but if it is brining your money, one day it will bring you despair.

[YOSHIE]

I haven't tried it yet. But is the scalper business a good one? Can you make it your main job?

There are places where brokers' jobs are good, but not in gambling or predictions, brokers are good at working in birth certificates or buying tickets, that might be suitable, because we don't have to queue to do it.

Whatever the case, brokers have become increasingly common lately, it's not just in your area, in my area online gambling brokers are also mushrooming, they offer various offers ranging from 80% to 90% odds specifically for sports betting, this is really ridiculous and doesn't make sense, logically if you think about it and if their predictions are really true and accurate, why don't they bet large amounts themselves, who doesn't want money, scalpers are annoying and it's not a good job for predict gambling.

[swogerino]

You mean a tipster as that is what the description here saying,a paid tipster and a woman which is something new.I doubt that this profession is profitable at all as I find it rare for such persons to have really good customers that are returning regularly.On top of that being 85% accurate it means that she can place the bets herself and make a profit as that 85% means overall will be in profit.So I don't understand someone who says it is 85% accurate in predicting games and still needing to get customers to sell such predictions to them,if you can be in positive in the long run it is great for you and you just don't share or sell your secrets to anyone.I find it hard to believe 85% positive in less than a year,if she can bring proof of 6 consecutive months like bet ID-s of winning tickets like Stake has for example where we can validate them only then I can believe a 85% accurate prediction rate.

[irsykes]

first time see the world of sports with scalper. i started to think this strategy with quite high risk. in my opinion in the world of gambling many people do many things strategy but the ratio of risk level is different. put hope luck only but excessive will be fatal if not controlled and if playing with pleasure as entertainment might be better

We are talking about the scalping job which doesn’t involve any risk on the side of the one selling the tickets. I think this is only popular on country that has online betting restrictions since people can’t place bets on their own.

However, On player side there’s really a lot of risk involved here since they are relying on 3rd party to place bets for them in exchange of being able to gamble. I’m not sure if it’s really worth it because I’m not in their shoe but I will completely understand if someone still avail this option due to country restrictions and also with 85% success rate being promote by the seller.

Of course there are risks in being a scalper There is no life without risks if we talk about the work of sports betting scalper in my country, many play land-based gambling in secret because they do not have strong defense or protection from local authorities who are hungry for money. If they have protection from local authorities, they are safe from any threats. However, that is no longer common in my country.

Well, I bet you are absolutely right after all, I don't want say all, but then, it's just a very few persons who really care about carrying other people along when what ever they are doing to really paying off, just as you have said, if they are really good with predicting the outcome of games correctly, and are constantly winning, thereby always making good money from their bets, they won't really bother about sharing their game predictions with other persons except interested family members and really close friends.

Gambling is not like trading where if a trader is very good at making profit, but lack enough capital to invest into the trading, he or she can offer investment opportunities to non traders who will provide him with the capital needed to make his trading way more profitable, and in return, he pays his investors interest on the investment amount he recieved from them, depending on how long he intends to keep and use the investment.

[Weawant]

If it's paying handsomely then it's worth every minute, you don't necessarily have to wait for a payday to be able to gamble even as a gambler, form the money made when people subscribe to her channel, it will be enough for her to raise capital to start gambling and also get her to be able to meet up with other need and also make up for bad days because she cannot be too sure of winning everyday, I see it as a very perfect strategy for a win win situation regardless of any outcome at any point in time.

Sometimes when she is on her lucky week and gets winning streak, I believe she will be making a whole lot of money in such week that she may not even feel it so bad if she ever gets to loose at some point because Sharing winning streaks like that will attract more subscribers to her channel, so like I did mentioned earlier it's a good business and worth every time spent especially if the wins are cancelling out the losses.
