Either I missed a few of the CK – Schalk posts or something is very wrong.
I’m sorry, but I am missing the math here. How in the world can you bet both sides and the sportsbook is losing money?!? Putting aside the fact that soccer has 3 sides, even in NFL football there is no way in the world you can make money by betting both sides, unless you are extra lucky and catch a bunch of underdogs. Not to mention that the bookie still gets the juice, if it’s a good bookmaker, of course, if winningBets=losingBets.
Here are 3 possible scenarious with a player signing up as an affiliate at Canbet:
1. The player wins, let’s say $1,000 at the end of the month – is it wrong now for the players to win money? Even if he wasn’t an affilite, he would still win the $1,000, so what’s the fuss?
2. The player loses $1,000, which after 25% commission = $750. What, you are not happy that the sportsbook made an extra $750 this month?!? Get over it, the whole deal brought you $750 instead of $0. Whining about a player losing $750 instead of $1,000, especially in these hard times, is down right asinine.
3. All players bets come to even money for the monht. Did Canbet lose anything? No. Did Canbet gained anything – yes, a player who would potentially lose money next month.
And if you are really concerned about those type of affiliates, do like the rest – no commission until the first 5 real players. Problem solved.
