What Steemit Can Do For Sports Bettors !
Steemit is a Blogging Platform build on top of the STEEM Blockchain which is one of the bigger cryptocurrencies in the world right now (See Coinmarketcap). Every upvote on the Steemit platform brings along a monetary reward depending on how much influence the upvoter has on the network. For more info on some of the basics and where the money comes from check out The Blockchain Rewolution and The Steemit Reward System.
The internet is full of people who share sports betting related content and the main way to monetize this is to start a paid service and sell picks which rarely works out. Starting a blog can have a lot of advantages but often comes at a cost and it is very hard to build an audience. Steemit offers a solution to all this allowing everyone to instantly monetise their Sports Betting related content.
- Steemit is Free (No Hosting Costs)
- Steemit is Decentralised (No Censorship)
- Steemit is Clean (No Annoying Ads)
- Steemit Can be used to Process Payments
- Steemit Instantly gives you a Target Audience
- Steemit Offers Tools (Post Notifications, ... )
- ...
All this makes Steemit a very suited platform for everyone who already has or wants to start a Sports betting related blog posting picks or articles.
Everybody who bets on sports knows that this market is quite hard to beat and that it brings along a lot of ups and downs. This makes it quite the challenge to get a stable income out of. Posting on Steemit can highly help both casual and more professional Sports Bettors in increase their overall earnings from their favorite activity.
This is by far the best reason for me personally to have a blog. Sharing some bets, previews and keeping track of my personal results on Steemit really helped a lot to stay sharp the entire season and were a big factor in the good results.

Every post on Steemit can earn your post Rewards and Daily Consistent Content tends to get rewarded on the platform. The Sports Betting world never stops and there are always new things to make posts about. Unlike running a paid service to earn some income which brings about a lot of pressure, Steemit does not require you to actually make profit and there are many ways of posting content that has value.

There are a lot of Sports related contest being hosted on Steemit every day. Joining these is a lot of fun and they can earn you some real prize money sponsored by the community. Some of the many contests that are consistently hosted on Steemit...
Steemit is a social network and interactions tend to get rewarded, every comment you make has the potential to be upvoted which can really increase your earnings especially when you are willing to grow. Steemit even has it's own Engagement League which rewards the most engaging members on the plaform hosted weekly by @abh12345 .
Everyone who upvotes others get part of the amount they upvoted returned to them (if the upvote is big enough) in the form of curation rewards. These rewards increase if the payouts on that post increase a lot after your upvote. Similar to the Engagement League there is also a Curation League
Steemit has it's own betting community which has an Upvote bot that will give Guaranteed Daily Upvotes to all members who posts Sports Betting Related Content. There is also a Discord channel where Live Bets are being shared and where posts can be promoted. Being Part of this community can highly increase your chance of success on Steemit. The SBC also hosts the SBC League that gives out monthly prizes to those who post bets in a specific way with odds while keeping a proper betting record.
Steemit allows you to promote Bookmakers and use Affiliate links. When you bring something that is solid and use affiliate links in a way without pushing them onto readers, it can earn you a bit of passive income over time. I personally don't mind promoting the Bookmakers I use myself which are Sportmarket Pro (Review) and Nitrogensports (affiliate link).
There are plenty of more ways to earn money on Steemit.
- There are many groups that provide daily upvotes. (@minnowsupport | @qurator | @steembasicincome | @make-a-whale | @upvoteshares | ...)

- The steemit Platform offers free payment processing and private messages so it should also be suitable to even run a paid service.

While this all sounds great, it is important to have realistic expectations. Around 95% of people who try out Steemit fail and are disappointed because their main objective is to make money quickly without willing to put some effort into it all. A blog on Steemit in many ways can be compared to building a youtube channel. It takes quite some time to learn how everything works and to build a following that brings about regular upvotes. Everyone who is willing to do some effort and stick to it for a while will always be able to build up their post earnings though. Starting out mainly for yourself and because it is fun with the potential to earn good rewards over time is a better way to go about it
The post payouts fluctuate along with the price of STEEM on the market. The price for 1 Steem ranged between 0.10$ and 7.3$ the past few years now being quite low around 1.32$. When the price of Steem is low it's a good time to accumulate and grow your own influence on the network which will increase your earnings over time. The general expectation is for the price to rise over time and there are yet a lot of features to be added to the platform which will increase the user base. Steemit has 40.000+ active account right now and nearly 3 million dollar worth of Steem has been traded the last 24 hours.
Some of the Sports Betting Related Accounts on Steemit that can be viewed as an example are @costanza | @beat-the-bookies | @stimp1024 | @fullcoverbetting | @numpypython | @acelad | @marcusbraeburn | @djoker | @sportfrei (Current payouts are on the low side because of the correction in the crypto market)
In order to create an account on Steemit it generally takes a week time (since account creation costs Steemit some money and it needs to be checked against abuse). If you have an existing blog or a history of posting Sports Betting Related content online, The Steemit Betting Community (SBC) can potentially create an account for you and delegate some Steem Power along with some guidance on how everything works on the platform to give you a head start.
Feel free to drop by on or Discord Channel to have a chat and we will see what we can do. You can also always message me directly on Discord (username = costanza#2335)
Nothing to add here, you did an excellent job. I think that it is a great idea to do the account creation for the serious sports bettors/tipsters by ourselves. It will save them weeks of waiting (and possibly never getting an account).
If you're a serious sports bettor/tipster with the online presence, contact @costanza on discord.
One of the things i like about steem/steemit is that everything can be tracked. No more fake track records and all lol.
There are still plenty of ways to fake records now, but this issue will be solved by blockchain and hopefully also be an integrated function on Steemit one day.
I think a separate Dapp built on steem can be made for sports to make it more organized and sport
I agree @sames and hope something that verifies odds and results to track picks will be build o Steem over time.
