Explain the job of a sports trader please

[diop]

Hi guys,

I have an interview tmw at a big betting firm in AUS for a US sports trader position.

I have a lot of experience in betting but none as a trader at a professional or personal level.

I've been reading solid all day trying to understand the position and so far only get that you're trying to buy a stock at point and sell it at a lower or great point depending on what you originally got it for.

I searched up trader in the forum but couldn't really get too much detailed info.

The position is kind of an entry level one, but I would like to get as much info on it so i can really talk like i know what's going on in the interview..

can anyone give me any tips on this position please adn what you think it willl involve working for a corproate bookie?

Thanks

a sports trader is someone who liked sports at one time then traded off the sports to watch daytime soap opera's...

So you have an interview tomorrow and you have no idea what the job is about. You think they will hire you?

Sports traders are the guys who set the odds or at least maintain them to reflect money coming in and market movements for a bookie. Their goal is to ensure the bookie makes money.
