Assume he had to pay a % of each bet to star sport?
Assume heād only ever be able to price up horses himself?
Paddy Power donāt price their own football would you believe. All the bookies buy it in and stick it in their models. All the traders do is make sure they move the pricing with the money these days.
I doubt AK will price horses either. He might take a view on the pricing he gets and nudge it around but heās not going to spend his time pricing the 1.30 in catterick every day.

He said that heād be buying in pricing feeds but with the flexibility to adjust them for margin.
It seems an impossible business for a small operation to do.

Iād imagine quinnbet havenāt built their website and pricing from scratch either, youād probably need 100 odd staff to start with to do that. Thereās companies that are willing to sell their intellectual property (is that the word). So itāll be the hosts website but you can change the colours, then move the odds around yourself after (I prwsume). Either that or Ben Keith is backing him as a silent partner in the background. Heās surely got some whale behind him taking a percentage in the business in exchange for money if they get cleaned out early.
Sure all they have to do is bot the Betfair prices, add in their juice and then set the price on their site. Why do the hard work when it is already done for you.
Iād imagine the betfair price would be very easily manipulated on a low liquidity markets. Manipulate the price on Betfair then lump on with bookies.
Oh yeah, I was talking more so the horses and big football games.
Heās said heās willing to lose up to 10k on any golf betā¦ Decent prices too at a quick glance. Heād want to be managing that well or heād get a wallop there fairly quick
What youāre describing is white labeling. Someone else builds the site, gets the licence and then resells / leases it on. 888 have been doing this for years for Casino, Bingo and sports betting. The pricing would be all done by whoever takes it on but most of it would all be feeds based now with automated liability management

Surely he canāt be making that much fucking hell
Heās the biggest creator on the Patreon platform.
Some mugs out there. He is a far more annoying fucker than the gucci (who is keeping a low profile at the moment?)
He says Boyles offered him an affiliate deal before Cheltenham last year but he told them to fuck off.
Youād get a laugh off the Gucci and Berb, not this fella.
What youāre describing there sounds like moving odds is done from a central controller and is outside your control? So say heās white labeling the Star Sports website, if they cut a golfer or horse to 12/1 from 20/1 is it following suit on AKs site or has he the control of that?
Even if he is earning 10% of that he is having it right off
Gucci has about 1300 signed up at ā¬33 a monthā¦
