I am currently working for a Sportsbook Solutions provider and have been with the company for more than 2 years.
My current job as a Sports Analyst/Trader also involves Risk Monitoring and Event Scheduling.
I follow worldwide sporting events and input these in our back office. I also have to ensure that start times are correct and to update them whenever necessary. With this I am familiar with the basic rules of popular sports such as Football, Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, Badminton but I also have some knowledge on other specialized sports like American Football, Australian Rules and even Trotting or Horse Racing.
In addition to this, it is also part of my responsibility to ensure that results are inputted in a timely manner and payouts are effected promptly. This is an important task since a small mistake in the scores being inputted may mean a huge loss for the company or worse irate punters. So I ensure that results are correct so that punters can receive their winnings right after a match is done.
With this I also answer queries regarding different events and their respective settlements and payouts. Some punters are not quite aware of the rules in certain sporting events and a company's Terms and Conditions regarding payouts, so we also handle some customer queries.
In addition to this, Risk Monitoring of Sportsbook is also part of my tasks. I observe market movements and react accordingly, whether it is cutting odds or adjusting prices so that we are in the market average.
I can say that I have learned a lot regarding the industry with my current job that is why I think that I can fulfill this role.
