I got a friend who suggests I startup a Sportsbook.

If you have an existing player base you can start on a low budget but if you don't have any players you have to have a very nice bankroll if you want to compete and build a successful book.

There are niches left in this industry, that is for sure and in time they will be scoped!

The key is developing a competent business model with achievable goals.

You'll need to get yourself a top-notch marketer in order to get traffic to your site
or it won’t grow or get off the ground. You need to use one of the best. Hey and look at that I’m available. If you’re serious in doing this venture I would fill this position
first or at least talk to someone in it and get the low down. Contact me if you want more info on it. Or better yet fire away any questions in this forum for all to see.

My one piece of advice: watch out for marketers trying to scam you.


Just kidding Grantt, I know you are a good guy and if I ever set up shop, you'll be my marketing guru. GL

I don't charge up front so you can't lose.
If I don't get you listed on the major search engines under the search terms of your choice (in the top 20) you don't pay me.

WOW back the bus up there Grantt, I'm 20 years away from setting up shop in Costa Rica. Right now I'm content to book $10 bets in the CFL for my friends. Thanks anyway, good luck to you.

And I've got a friend who suggests I startup a brothel...

What do you think?...Should we have our friends incorporate?

What do you think they would name their new enterprise?

Planet Pussy?
Olympic Orgasm?

you may want to look into having the call center offshore they take all the action, keep figures, ect. you handle all the money. rates vary. i looked into this a while back, couldnt come to an agreement on rates. the judge is right you have to have a customer base before you can do anything, no customers no business.
