Second episode of the Brazilian Lounge Podcast
With a decade of experience in the sports betting market, Pedro Feitosa reached an incredible mark in the World Cup in Qatar by becoming the world record holder of games in the same edition, watching all 64 games.
He detailed how this record impacted his career and also evaluated the evolution of Brazilian bettors since the legalization of the sector in 2018.
Since 2009, Pedro has been exploring and deepening his activities in this new investment market, becoming one of the first Brazilians to stand out as a trader in the sports betting market, especially in football.
“I didn’t plan to enter the sports betting market. I’m a lawyer, I thought about dedicating myself to law, but I couldn’t identify with the law itself”, noting that he even worked in the youth teams of Bahia, chasing the dream of become professional soccer player.
However, Feitosa chose to dedicate himself to his studies and gave up football at the age of 15. “I started working in the legal field, but then I started working in show business, which led me to the sports betting market”.
“I’ve always liked football and betting, betting was already in my blood and I think it’s in the blood of Brazilians. I started working with the artist Gabriel Diniz, taking care of the advisory, media, contracts, which made me have many contacts. In the meantime, I got to know a bookmaker and had contact with the market”, he added.
He also saw an opportunity in the betting market. “People liked football and betting, but they didn’t know how to do it. They didn’t know how to register in a house, how to place a bet, how to analyze a game technically to place a bet”.
“I identified a possibility and thought: I have knowledge and I think I can collaborate here. From then on, the idea of communicating on social networks came up and things started to happen”, he explained.
