Taking your neighborhood sports bookie business out of the local sports bar and onto the Internet is a big move, probably one of the most important decisions that a local bookie can make. But, look around you. One by one, local bookies are making the transition to a quality pay per head service company to provide attractive wagering options to their clients while assisting them with the everyday details of the business such as record keeping, grading games and keeping the lines sharp.
HOST Pay Per Head Service has been around for almost 20 years now having evolved over time to meet the needs of the local bookmaker and his players. Back in the 90’s, many bettors started to drift away from the ‘local guy’….drawn by the glitz and glamour of the Internet and all those flashy options and glossy pictures offered there.
The average local bookie just could not compete. The offshore sports books were even offering incentives in the form of sign-up bonuses and free plays that the local guy simply could not match and stay in business. Then some very wise people came up with the idea of a service company that provided to the local bookie all of the modern wagering options offered by the big offshore companies. That’s how HOST PPH came into being.
The idea quickly caught on. Both bettors and bookies liked the new system under which the bettor could stay with his trusted local guy and still access world-wide wagering options around the clock. The only thing that the bookie was left to do was his collections and payouts…..and perhaps a little discreet recruiting.
These days there are many options available for providing price per head services. Some, like HOST PPH, are very good….some not so good….some downright awful. The savvy bookie, thinking about making the switch, is obliged to do a thorough check of the companies he or she is considering before making the decision on which service to work with.
The first thing to consider is the people involved. Since a lot of your dealings with the Pay Per Head service will be done over the phone, get them on the phone. Ask the hard questions and get the information you need before making a move. Are you able to communicate with the agents comfortably? If your questions are not answered to your satisfaction, look elsewhere.
Finally, check out the software. Is it easy to access and presented in an attractive manner? Most of all, is it dependable? Players these days are demanding high quality, dependable 24/7 access to wagering and a friendly face to meet up with and settle up……working with a quality outfit like HOST Pay Per Head Service offers the best of both worlds!
