Casual Sports Trader — Take or Make Melbourne (South Yarra) | Casual | $80/hr incl. super About Take or Make Take or Make is a global market maker in sports markets, with our largest office in Melbourne. We trade our own capital on betting exchanges and prediction markets. We're a small team, which means the person in this seat matters to the results in a way that isn't true at a big shop.

About the role
There's no big overround to hide behind here. Our edge is speed, and the trades you make have a direct and visible impact on the profitability of the game you're trading. The desk trades American football and basketball, with coverage of a few other sports through our market making. This is a casual role worked around the US sporting calendar, and it suits someone sharp who wants high-paid hours around other commitments. We train you on our systems.

What you'll do

- Trade live games (moneylines, spreads, totals) on a fast feed. Most of the opportunities last less than a second
- Reprice game states as they happen, in the moments before the rest of the market catches up
- Help us meet our market making obligations, including quote uptime and spread requirements
- Be able to justify every trade.



We review trades on the price you got relative to where the market settled shortly after, not on whether they won What we're looking for
- Very quick with numbers, comfortable thinking in prices and probabilities
- You watch and understand American football and/or basketball
- Comfortable making quick decisions with incomplete information, and comfortable doing nothing when there's no edge
- Level headed. No chasing losses, no doubling up because you're down on the night
- Available for US game windows, which means roughly 3am to 5am Melbourne starts depending on daylight savings, mostly on weekends. Being upfront: the hours are the hard part of the job

What we offer

- $80 per hour including super, with shifts rostered in advance each week — typically 15 to 20 hours across the main game days during the season
- You trade with our capital, feed, tech and limits, and we train you up on the systems
- Shifts are worked in our South Yarra office, especially while you're learning We hire on ability — anyone who can price a game fast is welcome here, whatever their background
