I have developed an algorithm that has a strong strike rate for picking outcomes of matches.

My app/website simply provides this information to users for free.

One of the good things about affiliate relationships in the betting niche is that they offer lifetime earnings if you go down that route. They also offer fairly strong CPAs if you negotiate with the brands you drive a lot of traffic to.

I am now branching out into more sports such as Tennis over the next 6 months!

(Chances are this will be less of a side project and more of a full time gig in a few months time if it keeps growing)




I should point out that I had never made an app before giving this a try! Beginners luck!


Oh, so your revenue comes from affiliates? I thought that you have a monthly subscription fee :)


No monthly fee. I don't really like services that charge for this data.

I prefer to make it available for free and then make the money by signing people up for bookies that they might not normally use.


Any specific reason for doing this instead of just charging people for using the tips? Are your users generally skeptical of accuracy of tips and as such not likely to pay?


Just feel it is better to provide the service for free.

Maybe at some point in the future I will consider a premium tier but it is not on the roadmap at the mo.
