Hello,
I work as a sports trader at head office of a top 5 betting company based in Europe, priority focus on Risk Management.
Ask me anything.
What is the odds that you will get fired if you tell what company you work for?
How much do people have to be in profit before you either limited them or tell them to take there gambling somewhere else?
1 - I won't be disclosing the company I work for.
2 - We don't measure customers by whether they are in profit or loss, if you are winning let's say £100k and hitting your max bet regularly yet I deem you to be a profitable customer in the long run, it is likely i will actually increase your limits (upfactor you)
More than looking at profit margins we look at a variety of things, I would start by profiling you by looking at your gender, male/female? Your deposit method, Card / E-wallet? Your country of origin, countries like UK tend to have more recreational customers than say countries such as Ukraine. I will then analyze your betting history, figure out what % of bets you are doing on sportsbook are beating the exchange prices & what % of your bets are arbs, are you betting on high category fixtures such as Premiership football or obscure fixtures such as ITF tennis? I will also look to see if your bets are aligned with any other limited (restricted) customers. You see we have feeds with all the bets coming in, divided into different categories of customers, we have arbers & shrewd customers who are restricted but we still give them a little room because they give us information, If i see you as a customer coming in on the same selections @ same price as these shrewd customers around same time, it is likely you will catch my attention and I will do a review of your business.
