The Business of Esports - Where Does The New Opportunity Exist Now! [Recommended]

You may have heard about esports and it doesn't make any sense to you, especially if you live in this part of the world here in Nigeria. But believe me, this is where the next big opportunity exist in sport.

In 2005, I was in a webinar where Jason Fladien introduced Sport Betting as the next big thing where opportunity existed then. Few people like Kunle Soname and Akin Alabi who took action base on that webinar, are now worth multi-million dollars.

By some metrics,
- Revenue from Esports would dwarf that of Sport betting by over 3000% in 2025?

- Esports challenge the most popular sports, football. Some optimists say Esports may be as popular as football or may even hold sway as the most popular sport in 2030.

- Esports is growing faster than show business.
Think about that for a second - gamers are growing in popularity faster than Millie, Bobby Brown, prize pools are in the 6 figures and broadcast ratings rival the NFL - that is a meteoric rise.

- The business of esports is expected to surpass $1 billion in global revenue by 2020 – that is crazy growth! As esports grows so has the demand for talented, business-minded people passionate about esports.
