One thing is always a certainty, Gooner, the backwards New Zealander, will always take the opposite side, which is fine, but i hardly think you have a leg to stand on here mate
Your assumption is that the books are leaning to one side ?
Who gives a damn, thats not my problem, if that is the case, they are gambling with their own money, and are not bet takers, but bet makers instead
Are you trying to tell me the books make money when a player loses, how do you figure, a properly run outfit has no interest in a game result whatsoever
There might be slight leans due to last minute action, but over the long run everything is balanced out
The books do make money from the juice ONLY, assuming they are properly run, so by giving affiliates 0% of that money, they are in reality paying their affiliates nothing
If you get my point
Of course affiliate schemes do vary from book to book, and i would be very interested to have you send me a PM or list it here if you want, of sportsbooks that do offer a % of total turnover, because they are very rare indeed
The sportsbooks do not depend on players to lose their bets to survive, that is guaranteed, you should know that, i assume you do but are just trying to be difficult
If $10 million is bet on Chelsea
and $1 million is bet on Bolton
The line will adjust accordingly, and the payout on Chelsea will be 1.09-1 odds, or something along those lines, the sportsbook will not take a hit if Chelsea win, and vice versa if Bolton win
Now i know you know what i’m saying
The book takes a % for booking your action, that is what they do, their purpose for existing, i dont mind paying the small service charge as a gambler, but as an affiliate, where is my money coming from if not this same source of income, in truth, my money is coming out of the pocket of other affiliates, guys like you, assuming we are getting a % of player losses
That makes the whole scheme a scam
Do send me a list of sportsbooks you think have a fair affiliate scheme, i would love to see it
Take care buddy, i know we’ll argue about this more, but it’s ok because i’m right, so lets get it on
Tell me from what source of money does my affiliate pay come from…meaning how does the sportsbook get the money to pay me my share…and dont tell me from player losses, because we all know thats not true
