Promoting Online Sportsbook?

[TravG]

I havent noticed alot of talk within the forum here of folks promoting online sportsbooks. I've just recently added a few sportsbooks to my site, mainly the ones that also have a poker room.

Just curious how many others promote sportsbooks and reasons why others do not.

Go to a few sports book sites and you will see a lot of activity as far as stats, news, feeds, etc. Sports book takes a lot of time in that there are such a vast variety of sports and you need to supply content for all of it or gamblers won't use you. it drives you nuts!

it drives you nuts!

Its funny though because when you search "sportsbook reviews" for example, the top results do not really give much info on the site. I think I put more info on my poker reviews than they do on their sportsbook reviews.

It does seem however there are some very dominate review sites out there that it would take ALOT to try to overtake them.

I may give it a shot - I've been contimplating going with Vbulliten and starting a new site with a forum feel. Just need to dive in I guess - hope I dont go nuts - ha!

I currently represent BetOnline Affiliates (http://affiliates.betonline.com) as well as run www.sportsbookcommission.com which discusses sportsbook affiliate issues.

The main reason why some affiliate are concerned about promoting online sportsbooks is that in the past they have been closely linked to illegal activities through wagering over the phone/wire act. This has affected sportsbooks and not casinos. However the act has applied to phone bets and even though attempts have been made it has never successfully applied to betting over the internet.

Sports betting is also a different kettle of fish over casino gaming and some affiliates find it difficult to go over to this.

I am happy to answer any further questions by the forum or PM.

There is literally tons of sites that are doing sports betting only, or sportsbooks being the main focus of those sites. Haven't seen much webmasters on this forum tho (at least they are not very active). However there is few people here that are regular...

Back in July I started consulting for BetOnline as believe they have a fantastic domain name and presence although done little in the past on the affiliate side. Unsure what to say about you not making a penny but to be honest there are some key earners at BetOnline and the money is just starting to be made.

There has been some cleanup to do on the affiliate side (old system a little messy and hard to follow from the management side) which has been done so earnings should increase. Each lead is followed up by a call so you should see an increase.

Please PM me anytime.

Just put up a new Sportsbook site. Testing the waters so to speak. Will be adding content to odds pages as I go crazier.
