Make money on

Hi,

How is 'make money on something' different from 'make money out of / from / off something?

"I am sure I can make something on the deal."

Why is 'on' used in this particular example?

Thank you!

I do not see any difference in meaning between "I am sure I can make something on / out of / from the deal". "make something off the deal" sounds inferior to me, though people do say it.
