The Economics of Pick Selling in Sports Betting

As a business, we make money through distribution partnerships, advertisements, and referrals with sports betting operators. While the latter (referring bettors to operators) is sometimes frowned down upon by bettors, it is important to note that in all of our referral agreements with betting operators we receive a referral fee for each sign-up and never receive payments based on whether a bettor wins or loses on that platform.

Regardless of how our model continues to evolve, SportsGrid does not sell picks. But with the explosion of the sports betting market in the US, there have been a variety of questions about the ethics of pick selling.
