Real time reporting is an absolute must-have for any bookie who relies on bookie software or just general sportsbook software to do his or her business. Reporting allows for more than just regular updates of what is going down in your little corner of the gambling world. You can also opt for choices like bet alerts, bet tickers, big bet alerts, and so much more. In fact, most good bookie software programs will allow you to choose from a wide range of different report offerings.
Player standing reports are one of the more popular bookie software options. These reports are designed to break down player standings in a way that is easy to understand. You can see the breakdown by individual player, current balance, password, at risk factor, credit limit, current week, or even by gambling division, such as sports bets, casino play, or horse bets, to name a few. Not only does this help bookies to stay organized and to be aware of what each player is doing, but it can also help them to make the all important decision of which clients to keep and which clients to drop.
Some sportsbook software even has a useful player totals report. These reports also contain player action breakdowns. In the case of this particular report, which is more directly connected to the actual events themselves, it is focused on giving the bookmaker more gaming-related statistics. Common groupings are by pending wagers, current balances, open bets, wins and losses, net amounts, and graded bets.
Player history reports are big as well. Instead of just showing you recent action from a player, you get to see fully complete, carefully archived histories of clients and their play. You can see wagers, whether they were placed over the phone or online, the time bets were placed, the sport and/or event for which bets were placed, odds, line details, risk amounts ,win amounts, general results, and dates bets were placed.
Some bookies track their player activities hourly, some daily and every bookie tracks the weekly action of their player group. Better bookie software will make you a better bookmaker.
