Betting expert, Danilo Pereira has over 15 years of experience in the sports betting market. In an exclusive interview, he mentioned his beginnings as a gambler, changes in the industry, his role as an influencer and his perception of Brazilian regulations.
“I started as a bettor. I lost a lot of money until I managed to learn the mathematics of the game. Everything was different for the bettor. In the 2000s, there was no pricing. Technically speaking about betting, the market has become much more intelligent, with much more data to price the game”, he said.
Pereira also cited some changes in the bookmakers’ approach. “Football will always be the main sport for Brazilian bettors. But, bookmakers have changed to deliver more and more entertainment. This entertainment is multichannel, with bets on the BBB and the Oscars, for example.”
“The bettor has this multi-focus, but we know that the more he leaves his comfort zone and places with good performance, it will be much easier to lose”, he added.
Regulation and responsible gaming
In recent years, Pereira has also started to act as an influencer in the field, but warned about the problematic approach of those trying to sell the idea of easy money. “The bad influencers treated the issue this way, the fraud is very big.”
“Betters are trained by these fake influencers to try to make money without a method. This is harmful. The bet is for fun, entertainment, responsibly, for people over 18 years old. The entertainment bias cannot be considered a professional bias.”
Asked about the regulation, Danilo Pereira said: “I see the regulation as positive. It could be better, but some ordinances that will be released should make things clearer for the industry and for the bettor”.
“Brazil is the focus of the world, we see this at all events. But, I have great concerns about the mental health of these people who want to play and have no idea what they are doing. So, regulation will also be good for this”, he concluded.
