Think back to when you were betting the games and about what frustrated you most as a player. From my point of view, it was always the inability to take advantage of early lines (even though it rarely affected whether I won or lost) and the constant busy signals. Now consider the same thing from a bookie standpoint. More than likely, it is the fact that you have to be on the phones all day and then listen to players complain about how they could not get through.
So what can you do to alleviate both your frustrations and those of your players? The answer is simple: use a pay per head that offers a 24/7 bookie call center! Our bookie pay per head service, www.RealPricePerHead.com offers both a call center and full Internet access for under $20 a player! Whether you want your own website or just the convenience of a full call center at your disposal, it is all covered under your weekly fee.
How does having a bookie call center make your operation more attractive to the local players? In all likelihood, your players are restricted to placing their bets on the day of the action and will only have limited hours in which to place their bets. How many times have you taken action on a Thursday night college game and a player has inquired about a Sunday NFL line? You probably did not take the action or did not even have a line to give.
If you were using a bookie call center like RPPH, lines would be available as soon as they are published by the sportsbooks. Our feeds are directly tapped into these services and they immediately go live on our site. This means that players can place a bet on Tuesday afternoon just as easily as they can two minutes before kickoff. More importantly, they can place their wagers on an early line if the game seems to be going the other way.
To answer the looming question, "Won't that hurt me in the long run?" The answer is, "Absolutely not!" It would be foolish to think that there will not be occasions when a player gets you for a half point or a point but in most cases, it will work out in your favor. Furthermore, the added action will probably cover the occasional loss suffered because someone was able to jump on an early line.
Just think back to how many times you thought a favorite looked great at -3.5 on Monday and they were blown out. Or the opposite, you wanted the line at -3 and by game time, it was down to a pick. This happens more often than you would think and what your players think is an advantage turns out to come back and bite them in the butt. Sign up for RPPH today, start promoting your new bookie call center, and watch your weekday action and profits increase.
