good luck 2 things first read what gibb and yyz wrote, and 2nd this is not as easy as people think you must have very good c.service and they must be able to be dealt with one on one not as a mass bunch of just people paying you money which most do, you need to have a number to be reached at all times to help out clients who have a question or different line, and need to manage their money for them which no-one really cares much about, i do they are people putting trust into you and need to be treated like a investor not a number. the time is way more then you can grasp but you will see if you are going to do it right, it takes your weekends and vacations away for the most part , you have to be there for them when they need you it is very much something if done rights that will eat up a to of your time, and it has to be done like that or you will just be another person that does not give a shit about the business rep. which sucks to start with or your investors, i know you as a person so know you can be trusted ,i don't say that about many people in the service.
it is a whole new ball game when dealing with others peoples money and expect to get stiffed and scammed yourself if you don't watch out, i get stiffed at least 3 times a season by trying to be nice then they pull the never pay shit on payments, so i really only take people i know and i also talk to every client to make sure we are a good fit for each other because i have a nice base of long term people who have been with me some over 5 years and won't let some college kid come in and mess the investors i have which most are all over 40 and middle class and i know everyone of them 1 on 1. sometimes you have to say no to the money if the fit can hurt your other investors , being loyle is number 1 not looking for the fast cash, if you under cut prices to make money your clients will be just what they paid, trouble and want the world and very young not looking to invest but looking to make the fast score and it does not work like that, nothing comes fast in gambling and if that is what they think and you take them just to make money you will regret it the whole time. Money is not made over night or on 1 game or season, it is a long term investment tyope person you want who looks at this as another part of their stocks or ira would never take a young kid you really need to remember that. some people will take anyone you can ask my clients all adults middle class up business people , i have turned down many. you have to have a plan what you want and what you can do if you really want to be legit and not another black eye on a already horse shit looking business because of scammers and they out number real services by 80 to 85%. never promise something you can't do or keep and never say you will win, you don't know that till game is over. that is the best advice i can give to you i have been in this before i was at madjacks a few years before , also never forget where you came from, some people can't pay for a service and some just won't because they have been burnt or they do fine on their own, but you still need to help out those people , not turn and say it was nice thanks and good bye. if i had to lose investors over posting plays on madjacks real plays then so be it, being loyle does not always mean making a sale.
Like i said i know you and have for a long time, and if i did not trust you would not even waste my time telling you these things. it is stresfull when it is not your money very stressfull and you need to learn how to deal with it or you will burn and clients will just see another black eye on this business. hope it works for you but like i said it is hard if you really care about your investors, your investing their money not gambling it and way to many gamble it and could give a rats ass if they win or not once they have got paid.
good luck and be ready to work and be in for the good weeks as well as the bad weeks and please don't for me steping out and saying i trust you give games of the year month and week, all of that is bull shit and it is a shame the ones who fall to that scam are the people who are in a hole and are trying to get out the wrong way and that will make them deeper in a hole if you lose and don't manage their money. every week 10-15 scabs has a game of the day week year, conf game of the year 60 degree and raining game of the year, it is all bullshit, allgames are just that a game where no-one knows who will win till it is over.
good luck
