Being a bookie agent isn’t complicated, and you really don’t even need any experience to start. The main thing you need to know is people who want to bet and to find an online service to do all the technical aspects of bookmaking for them.
Sure, if you have bet before or booked action before this will also help, but it’s not necessary. A bookie is someone that takes wagers on various sporting events, and then pays the bettor when they win the wager and collects money when the bettor loses the wager.
So, the first thing you need as a bookie agent is people that would like to bet with you. This was actually quite easy to find because all you need to do is just give a little hustle, and use word of mouth to speak to everyone you know. You can reach out to family, friends, coworkers, schoolmates, and social media friends, and just see if they bet already or have any interest in betting.
Once you start getting the word out that you are offering accounts for people to bet on, you will quickly see how popular betting is. Lots of people bet, and there are all types of different bettors, ranging from your everyday degenerate bettors to weekend bettors, home team favorite bettors, and big game and event bettors.
Then once you have some bettors, those people tend to know other people that bet and can refer their friends to you as well. Depending how much effort you give to networking, will determine how quickly you grow your bookie business.
