GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 28 - April 2014

What do you like about the industry? I like that you need skill, in sports betting and poker, and in the casino games you shouldknowwhen to stop. If youget too greedyyou aregoing to lose. If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be and why? I would make gambling legal in all coun- tries. After all, it’s a person’s choice. We shouldn’t be forced not to do something byour country. What do your family and friends think of your work as an affiliate? First they were all like, “Gambling!!?? Isn’t that illegal??!!” (They don’t know the laws about that.) Now they are okay with it. I can still see they don’t like it, but they know Iwon’t changemy job soon. Do yougambleonline? If so, what do you play? I was gambling before I started be- ing awebmaster, and right now I still do it sometimes. I like topredictwinners.My favorite sport is tennis and most of my bets go there. How do you manage your “to-do” lists? Do you use any special software to help youout? To tell you the truth, I justmake .txt docs on my desktop. Each one is a task and I delete it after I have done it. Sometimesmy desktop gets reallymessy with lots of icons and I get confused. I know therearebetterwaysbut this ishow I amused todoing it. It’s abadhabit. How much time do you devote to SEO and/or social networking inorder todrive more traffic to your sites? I don’t do a lot of SEO. Maybe one hour per week, but that’s why there are sites that rank bet- ter. I’m always trying towork on content more thanSEO. Content ismySEO. What’s the most difficult thing about running your sites? I don’t find anything difficult about it. It’s really a simple job; you don’t do anything different on a dailybasis. What’s the best thing about running your sites? Well, to be honest, we’re all here for the money and that is the best thing forme. What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? Physically I train in different sports and I am in very good form. I go to amateur tennis tour- neys, play footballwith friends and swim in the summer. In the winter I train in a gym. As for the mental aspect, I just try not to tiremyself. I know I have time for everything and there isnoneed tohurry. If someone were visiting you, what’s the one place you’d definitely take them to see? I would take them tomy favor- ite historical city, Veliko Tarnovo. You shouldGoogle it; it’s beautiful. Ormaybe Rila, a mountain range in southwestern Bulgaria. There arebeautiful lakes there. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? I play sports, I get out into nature or I go out with friends. Also there is a big dam nearmy city, and I like to go there in the summer; it’s cool andbeautiful. What’s your favorite vacation spot? It’s the sea resorts. I like toget tanand runon the beach. Sometimes I go there for two weeks andwork from there. What’syour all-time favoritemovie? I am a passionate movie watcher, and I also follow a lot of shows. Iwatch at least one movie per day. I think there is no ma- jor one I have missed. I like The Count of Monte Cristo . Although it’s a book, the 2002moviemade from thebook is great. If you could invite any five people, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be? That is a very interesting question. I have the option to invite famous people but I will still go withmembers of my family. I prefer being with them to being with anyone else. Iwould invite themonly. What are three things that nobodyknows about you? 1. I crywhenwatchingmovies alone. 2. I bet on some tennisplayers just to jinx them. 3. And the third thing . . . I’d have to kill you if I toldyou! 55 GPWAAffiliate InterviewSeries
