He went further to explain that when running a sports betting company, one has to bear in mind that the market “stands at an average of 93%”.

What this means is that when sports betting platforms receives N100 million worth of bets, they pay out as much as N97 million to winners.

As the market stands today, it stands at an average of 93%

This means that if you receive bets of N100m, you will be paying out between N90m to N97m

A particular day or week can be very profitable or you can suffer a bad loss.

Making profits in sports betting business 

Mr Alabi added that a particular week can either be very profitable or otherwise. Whichever way, he said that sport betting platforms usually start recording relative profit after about three months to a year. This is because customers increase, making it possible to record profit.

But after a period of like 3 months to a year, you will be sure to profit/keep an average of 5%.

If your volume is good, you will be able to take care of your expenses and still keep good money for yourself.

Things to avoid as sports betting business owner

The entrepreneur also warned that business owners should very careful with the kind of deals they sign. According to him, no sports betting business owner should ever agree to a deal that requires him/her to be paying on the number of bets. If you do that, you will lose profit, he said.

Let’s say you agree to pay for a service on 10% of total bets. It looks small on the surface. But let’s do some calculations.

You take bets of N100m. This means your fee is N10m. You pay out between N90m to N97m as winnings.

Don’t ever do it.

— Oloye Akin Alabi (@akinalabi) April 3, 2019
