How Much Does a College Bookie Make?

When you are in college you are surrounded by fellow students and depending on which school you attend this could mean being on a campus with several thousand people. Young adult men between the ages of 21 to 25 are the fastest growing market in the betting industry.

So the best way to capitalize on these market trends is to become a college bookie and accept wagers from all the people you go to school with. Being a bookie means you are the house and will need the opposite side of whatever the player bets. So for example if the LA Rams are -4.5 against the San Francisco 49ers and a player bet the Rams -4.5, this means you as the bookie would either need the 49ers to win the game outright or for the 49ers to lose the game by 4 points or less for the player to lose that wager.

Being a bookie is an extremely lucrative business, and players can easily lose a couple hundred to thousands of dollars per week. Sure, college kids may not have that much disposable income, however even betting $25 a game can lead to players losing a couple hundred in a week. In addition, the more players you have, the more money you will earn each week.

In addition this is the type of business you can run for the rest of your life, and your friends and schoolmates from college will eventually graduate and then get real jobs making decent salaries, which means they will have a lot more disposable income for them to lose making bets.

Using AcePerHead Will Earn you the Most Money as a College Bookie

Also being a bookie has never been easier, because there is an entire industry dedicated to providing a bookmaking sportsbook website for bookies to offer their bettors. The pay per head industry allows anyone to book action directly on their software and website.

One of the top rated and most profitable pay per head services is Ace Per Head. They provide you with one of their professional style sportsbook websites where they manage all the lines and update all the odds up to the second. Then as soon as each game completes, they grade all wagers and all balances get automatically updated into both the player and agents’ accounts.

For this all in one service they just charge a small flat fee of $10 per active player per week.  But if the player doesn’t bet that week then you don’t get charged for that player. In addition as you grow and get more players, the price can become even lower. Then you as the bookie will handle all the payments directly with your players and get to keep 100% of the profits.

So if you would like to be a bookie in college and earn a few hundred to thousands of dollars a week, give Ace a call at 1-800-909-5193 to get set up today.
