Setting up a betting/prediction website?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge when it comes to creating a website for a sort of football betting/prediction website?

Without going going into too much detail, the basics are:

- Website where you stake (bet) £1 on a certain accumulator, with a fixed pay out every week. Rather than fluctuating odds.

- The more people who play the higher the potential pay out (assuming there are enough players to do so).

- Multiple winners split the payout between them.

So just wondering if anyone has any experience applying for a licence with the Gambling Commission?

Any knowledge of how to set up a business, a website and important factors you would need to consider (e.g. legal & financial) would be appreciated.

Cheers

This sounds very confusing, you're totally relying on people to put money in so they can win money? So you're not putting capital behind it?

What if you have 500 people and 490 of them win, do they get just over a pound back each?

how can you fix odds week on week? Once you lay an acca with a bookie your odds are set, so if I do an acca today for the weekend but then say united have a massive sickness crisis and the odds on them change dramatically I still get the odds I got today on my acca.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Sorry for the confusion, I was rushing when typing and really didn't explain the idea well.

If it helps what I meant was every week the prize would be set at £X (say arbitrarily £1000) plus a certain % of the staked money received. Therefore more players would eventually = a higher payout

If that makes sense?

So in certain respects the odds would be (1000 + x)/1
every week.

Let me know what you think of the idea & any constructive criticism you have.

This is just a nugget of an idea and any evaluation of the idea would help.

I know someone who is setting something up that sounds very similar to this. I'll have a chat with him and see if he has any advice Stannis.
