It's game of patient and building players base.

It's good idea to start targeting one particular sport and then as your site grows to add more options. (This is the case if you are working as an affiliate). Also, best conversion is amongst the sponsors who have all-in-one product - Casino, Poker, Sportsbook, Games. Players love to jump from Sportsbook to Poker or Casino. This brings higher player value and better retention.

Hit me up, and I can give you some feedback which sponsors and particular products are converting the best for me.
Good advice! We are looking at starting our own betting site. For affiliates, what kind of related sites can convert best with betting sites apart of blasting it with popunders and redirects? Sport blogs?

First, thanks for the confirmation. Wouldn't this number be unrealistic considering we would just be starting the site and focusing on acquiring loyal players? What kind of strategy are we looking at for making them think their winning something by betting on the site?
