Would you buy a car without taking it for a test drive? Would you buy a home without having ever taken a tour and having it inspected? Would you buy a $1,000 suit without trying it on first? Well, then why would you ever subscribe to something as important as bookie software without seeing what it can do and how it can help improve your operation? Amazingly, not all companies offer a free test drive, but www.RealPricePerHead.com does!
Some bookies make the mistake of thinking it is just programming and it does not make a difference. They simply look for the best price and then sign up for service. Unfortunately, most bookies then realize not checking out the software, from both the player and bookie perspective, was a big mistake. If you are using price per head software, it must work for both the bookie and the player.
Before committing to anything, you should ask the PPH for a sample site that the players would see. Regardless of the features it holds for you, if the players do not like the site or if it looks amateurish, they may run for cover. It should be easy to navigate as well as have informational links. Things like news and tickers are a great added bonus.
Something else to consider from the players point of view is if they have casino and poker action available. If so, do they have to put up a stake or can then transfer money between their betting account and the poker room and casino. You will want the process to be as easy as possible for them to promote them using these outlets.
From a bookies standpoint, you should be able to move lines if need be, but there should also be automated programming that takes care of this for you. You should be able to see all of your player's action in real time and see where their figure stands. In addition, you will want to be able to see volume on all of the games as it is happening to know if you have to lay off action or not.
Having a free test account will enable to you to check all of these things before ever making your initial deposit with the price per head service. Honestly, if there is not a test account available, it should be a sign that they just might be hiding something. So, do not be foolish and put money down on something you have not tried yourself. Only when you are completely satisfied that your price per head can meet your needs as well as your players should you open up your account.
