This is how you need to come into these shows. WITH OTHER OPTIONS. Never give them the upper hand and get in a position of "you're my only hope" because they will sense it and rip you off.
RealTalk the issue is that 90% of the people that come on any of the Shark Tank shows are there as a sort of last resort - it’s mainly tailored towards those people. One of the Shark Tank shows even gives all of the investors a tiny percentage of every business that comes on, regardless of if they make a deal - since they’re getting airtime and the businesses are that desperate.
@@cr5678 OMG!! People actually started using these shows as free publicity BECUASE they realized it's just designed to rip you off and they are better off using it as publicity to get better investors. Now you tell me one of their shows gives these assholes a percentage of any business that comes on?! That's SO GREEDY Obviously the inventors are getting airtime but the people make a lot of money from the show. Inventors coming on makes the show...and it's not like they are getting a cut of the profits of that episode are they lol
@@DocRealTalk You don't know what you are talking about. Giving away a large stake in your company and have a shark catapult your business is worth it in most cases. Greed is business buddy. 30% of 10 million dollar company is still more than 50% of a 2 million dollar company. Also more often than not these guys are way better than your typical investor. T
For anyone who is interested, we did not end up taking investment from the sharks and decided to shut down about a year after this. After about 2.5 years offline we decided to reboot at a smaller scale that was maintainable without taking outside investment. As of 2021 we are back up and running
Have you tried a subscription business model with a claim of definite return on tip return.... It's a very risky business and trust me, bookmakers will crush you like a cockroach if you're slow to put a foot in the market, unless you build a solid reputation of return for you customers and force their hand to coexist.
he took pressure that was being brought onto him and put it right back by saying other investors are interested and mentioned it at the right time since he wasn't taking 30% regardless
A deal was never consummated after this show and the site failed to raise money to scale itself up for the demands. So betswaps is now closed and the owner developed an app that primarily supplies race information but not tips. Certainly, due diligence paid-off for these two sharks because as what usually happens in these sites, the investors would've been told to put more capital in or face losing everything. The sharks got off easy on this one.
These kind of sites came out in 2003ish so it's certainly not a new concept :D

Steve and Glenn did not ACTUALLY invest. That's the real scam. Pretending to invest to look good on tv. and then not actually giving a penny. Australian investors... at their best.
If you guys scroll down on the comment section on this video, there is a reply to a comment which says that steve and glenn never invested in the end since they couldn’t “agree on terms”
So 1 RUclips reply that you can't even find that probably doesn't even have any links and is just "I heard from a stage guy backstage"? For your lack of evidence, and your crackpot theory, I'm out.
According to his LinkedIn, he was "founder" from Sep 2013 - Nov 2017. It seems like it was changed to swoopers.com.au/ (At least it's owned by Betswaps Holdings Pty Ltd) - I'm not sure what is going on, on betswaps.com. Betswaps is hosted on a US server, while swooper is hosted on an Australian one, so maybe betswaps.com is gonna be based on the US market? I'm not sure though. None the less, it seems like he is no longer a part of it. And also, a search on LinkedIn reveals past shareholders, a CFO and more. But all is past, I can't find anyone who is working there now.
Hi Rohan. This episode was filmed in late 2015. We reached a point where scaling issues got in the way of getting the product (~5,000 users) to where it needed to be rebuilt and could not raise the money to bring in enough people. As founder I bought out all other investors (Steve and Glenn never invested in the end but there were others) and began a re-write of the product in a way that would make it scale globally. During that time the market conditions changed and it didn't make sense to continue with the project. There's a chance we could be back one day (we have half a product built and we had some great product validation) but the appetite for investment in gambling is not high, which means bootstrapping is the only option.
@@willlyons1339 largely couldn't agree on terms. At the time there were three other minor shareholders and all parties could not agree on the terms of the investment
Wow kid is stone cold, he knew the potential his business has and was gonna let them take it or leave it under 20. He knew what they would offer that's why he came in asking 10. Smart boy, good on ya
Boy totally killed it, most of the time sharks ripp off people off their own business if they see potential but the guy pitching it is not a good at negotiating. Guy stood his ground. Loved the idea as well.
Great episode but I don't see this still working right now at all, not in this day and age economy across the globe... I wonder what he's doing now because he sure does have the brains..
So will Steve and Glen each pay 200K for 15% which means a combined 400K for 30% ,or will they each pay 100K for 7.5% which means a combined 200K for 15%?
I don’t buy this “value” I’d bring to the business garbage. They invest in multiple businesses all the sharks could do is palm these people off to their contacts.
I imagine they'd get some type of councel from the Sharks, even if its short, the Sharks are aware of how to build a successful business cause they've done it many times.
Best of shark tank Aus .. this gentlemen is damn good negotiator , clever & stiff ... Glen and Steve are going to make billions over this ... Good luck folks
One thing I like abou Aussy shark tank is , tables can turn anytime where after entrepreneur pitch the shark need to pitch about how good they are and how can they help him/her
Perhaps those detailed discussions weren't included in the show, or on this video clip. I know in the US, much more due diligence and negotiations are conducted after the show is aired.
What a smart kid! Those sharks were kinda pushing him around a little bit with those 30 percentiles. What a rip off for a company that is most likely gonna take off without any of the sharks. Steve fought his way in. That was great. These 5 sharks are my fav. Sorry Mr. Wonderful. Edit: Is it true that the site ended up failing? Steve and Glen never actually invested? That sucks. Seemed so promising.
I know this was filmed few years ago, but there are A LOT of these kind of websites that give tips on betting and I have used a few actually but I have never seen this site so I doubt it was the first tipping site as he says, surely it would be one of the most popular then, because they all basically offer the same thing
What is the success record of their tip sheets? There's a lot more in the formula than win, lose, weight and how much money horses make. Often a horse is only as good as its Rider... Do they have a separate tip sheet and fee for jockeys?
Just to give you all some context. Of Steve, Jennene, and Naomi, Steve is the richest at a networth of $50 million. John, the guy with black hair, has a debt over $16 million. Glen and Andrew are the only ones with a networth over 100 million. One of them is close to a billion and I think it's Andrew at 700 mil
Hmm. Doesn't this already exist? I know you can buy expert tips and stuff already. The only thing I see this as being different is maybe being all in one site. And they might be charging you more than if you went to the person's page and bought it there.
The main aim of the platform was to independently track and verify the results of "professional tipsters" in an attempt to tackle the huge amounts of fraud in the tout industry. The secondary aim was to provide a platform where good tippers and punters could easily build a business selling tips without needing to handle all the administration, development and upfront costs themselves.
Was definitely a inspiration for the idea and in the early days we pitched it exactly like that. Unfortunately not enough people had heard of eToro back then

Andrew is a gentleman ... he never gets mad for rejection.
Why would he? Just like he has the right not to invest, the other party has the right to reject his offer. It's the nature of business.
Sensitivity equals poverty , if he gets offended easily he's not meant for business
