Being a bookie requires more than just a knowledge of sports.  Today's bookmaking skills require the ability to understand and adapt to new technological advances.  This is likely to include Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the not-so-distant future.  You'll also need to stay competitive with your offerings.  Like with most things, the competition in this sector is heavy.  The good news is that a significant number of bookies today are not always cut out for the challenge.  Additionally, tools exist today to assist the bookmaking business.

PricePerPlayer.com notes: "A successful bookie must be able to provide a reliable website with multiple platforms that is fast, secure and easy to use. In addition, they have to be able to provide their clients with competitive odds on all major sporting events around the world, live betting, horse racing and even a digital and live dealer casino."

Now the old school bookmaker might be scared off wondering how he or she is going to manage all of this.  The pay per head betting platform does all the work, or most of it at least.

On your end, whether a novice or a long established operator, it's all about keeping your current customers happy, monitoring their action through the running of reports and successful marketing efforts in terms of building the business.

Don't worry about coming up with lines or moving the number based on action coming in.  Again, the PPH does all of this.

The PricePerPlayer platform offers the following:

  • Live betting on major sports
  • Thousands of line to choose daily
  • Player Prop Bet Builder
  • European sports betting
  • Tons of Soccer Leagues
  • Wager online or over the phone
  • Online player management
  • Online player management
  • Agent Reports
  • Racebook with all major horse racing venues
  • Digital Casino
  • Live Dealer Casino
  • Mobile betting
  • And much more…

What's great is that the fee is only a few dollars per customer per week.  For PricePerPlayer it's a nominal $5, even less, based on the number of players under your umbrella.
