Become the bookie
Pay per head beginner's guide.
Why Go Online with Pay Per Head?
Pay-Per-Head (PPH) service providers, like Ace Pay Per Head, cater to sportsbook agents and bookies who are trying to grow their business in the twenty-first century. Services often include a dedicated call center to handle player wagers and questions, a website for players to wager, and software for tracking and reporting player activities and balances. But for a long time, Sportsbooks and Racebooks did not use the internet to conduct business – and in many places in the world they still don’t. So why change all that now?
Well as it turns out, there are a lot of very good reasons why, and today almost all serious bookies have gone online. If you are trying to decide if online pay per head is right for your business, consider the following:
Ace Pay Per Head Cost versus Savings
Deciding if the price of pay per head services is right differs for every agent. Your added expenses will typically be a small weekly fee for each player that wagered that week, and the savings will be in personal time, investment, and administration. Usually it is a winning trade off – please consider the following example:
Agent Bob has 20 players currently, and spends all of his free time (30 hours / week) managing the players, taking wagers, and doing accounting
Bob joins Ace pay per head
In a typical week, 15 of Bob’s players will wager, so at $3 per head / week, he is now spending $150
With the accounting done automatically, wagers fielded by our call center, and player management done easily online, Bob now spends only 10 hours / week managing his players!
With the extra time on his hands due to ace pay per head services, Bob adds 40 brand new players – something he could never have managed before – all without doing more work than his original 30 hours / week
In this example, Bob is now working just as much as he used to, but instead of just 20 players, he is now spending a mere $450 to maintain a book of 60 players! With pay per head services, new heights are possible. Note, this example was intended for illustration purposes only – actual time savings vary widely by book.
Start earning money with just 1 player
It only takes 1 player to make money in this business. What are you waiting for?
A typical bettor might play $25 per game. You could make hundreds a week booking their action!
Don't stress over collecting player's losses. Offer payment plans or settle for less than you are owed. You end up way ahead if they stick with you.
Merge with Tips for Success
The best way to get players is word of mouth. Reach out to family, friends, and co-workers.
Offer a small freeplay to get people started and to entice new players.
Each player is different. We'll help you set their betting limits based on what they can afford, so they don't dry up.
