Part 7/10:
As operators navigate the complexities of sports betting, they engage in sophisticated risk management strategies. The goal? Ensure that they are never overexposed to any single game or event. This requires keen insights into betting patterns and understanding the weakness of certain players.
Operators often structure betting lines and limits based on individual profiles, which can include the gambler's yearly salary and their betting behavior. In this way, operators create a balance, allowing for potential winnings without exposing themselves to catastrophic losses. Smart betting also involves placing "hedge" bets with other offices, spreading risk across multiple fronts.
