How sports betting bookies make money?

Bookmakers charge what can be considered a commission for their services; this is commonly known as “vigorish” or “vig” for short. The word “vigorish” is of Russian origin, meaning “to win” or “winnings”.

Welcome sports fans and bettors alike!

Just wanted to create a quick post to welcome everyone to my personal blog. As I mentioned on my about page I’ve worked on several Sportsbook companies all around the country and on multiple offshore sportsbook on places such as Costa Rica and Panama, but first and foremost I am a sports fan, and as one I understand there is no better way to spice up a Sunday night game a little than putting a little something on the line. I decided to create this blog to share my thoughts and knowledge about all aspects of the sports and sportsbetting industry from all angles. Whether you are just a sports fanatic, a sports bettor, or a local bookie doing your thing on Vegas or with an Offshore payperhead provider, I’m sure you will find something useful to improve your game on this blog.

 

Enough talk, let get started shall we?
