Thinking a opening a small bookies

Quahog217

Does anyone know how much an SIS package will cost for a small bookies?

Im worried this will be more expensive than i think and i might not have enough money to set up yet.

Any general tips or useful info would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You are Im sure aware that licenses are probably required, and that in many areas small independant bookies are closing.

[not being negative but just in case your not aware]

why not try laying bets on the exchanges. You can start with €5

Yeah i know some are closing but i have a location with a guaranteed market, im worried set up and running costs may be a bit much for me.

Well while I dont know specifics your set-up costs would include a betting license and I believe you must also publish your application in a newspaper local to the area - at a minimum specified size...

Also if you want Sky Sports in the venue I believe you cant just have a domestic subscription - and a commercial one is a lot more expensive.

I think s.i.s charge over 10 k per year and dont forget you will have to get turf t.v as well.
It will be very hard to compete with the big boys but i wish you luck.
