Capitalize as an Independent Bookie

Sports betting has never been more popular. More people than ever are betting on sports. Another growing market is eSports, which is definitely a niche independent bookies can capitalize on.

Independent bookies need to focus on local clientele initially. Despite the competition from offshore bookmakers and licensed sportsbooks in some US states, local bookies still control more action.

Depending upon where you live and the size of your circle of family/friends, you’re also going to run into a lot of competition locally. There are 1000s of independent bookies operating in the US alone.

In order to stand out from the competition, especially when you’re new to the industry, requires you to offer your players perks not offered by other local bookies, such as lenient betting rules.

Many local bookies will have rules in place limiting certain action. For example, I know a lot of local bookies that’ll only allow you to bet on underdogs on parlays or up to 4 games on parlays.

To capitalize on the growing sports betting market, you need to be flexible. You should be willing to accept most action initially from players and gauge they’re skill level through their early results.
