I was working at one of the few sportsbooks in Costa Rica, but I knew I had the chance to make more money by going independent. I had the skills and some outside clients, but I didn’t have enough cash to build a sportsbook from zero.
I realized there were these pay per head shops, but I didn’t knew too much about them, so I made a few posts on different gambling forums over the internet asking people what they were exactly and which one was the best.
I actually received a good deal of information and decided to start making business with one of them.
My bookmaking sheet was short but since I am dealing with those guys, I am getting more and more clients by word of mouth due to the excellent service this pay per head shop provided to my customers.
I am working little and getting good money, what else can you ask for?
By the way, if you are not too sure what pay per head shops are, what they do is that they offer call center solutions for sports betting bookmakers (oh they offer casino services too) so, they run most of your operation allowing you to be aware of what is going on, so you ended up having more free time than you could ever thought possible.
I really recommend these shops, try’em, you won’t regret it.

The online gambling topic has become one of the most controversial terms of discussion and polemics between those who think this is an illegal way to earn money and the ones that see this as an entertainment wining activity.
But wait a minute! Let’s start from the beginning. What’s the meaning of gambling? Why is this activity so despised for certain political and powered men?
Gambling can be described as: “The voluntary risking of a sum of money on the outcome of a game or other event”. The real problem is that people tend to introduce this kind of entertainment as a bad behavior or lifestyle. But why is that? What’s the real reason that involves this battle between the gamblers and non-gamblers?
Starting from the point that it is a voluntary action, also knowing that it’s people’s money and a great distraction. What is the point then on restricting it?
Many discussions have been made about this and political forces know that even though they prohibit the online gambling activity, the ones that really like to make their games or contests “more interesting” will probably continue with this practice with or without the politicians’ consent.
Due to this dilemma many recognized politicians are trying to give a little bit more privileges to avoid all the problems that this situation has brought. For example in South Africa, the Select Committee of National Provinces comes to the deal of reviewing the possibility to be the next nation to have a bill that allows the African inhabitants to gamble online.
Of course they will establish the proper mechanisms to avoid all the unscrupulous operators that want to make money by stealing it from people. Also the government will gather the appropriate amount of taxes from this financial activity.
Not going too far, Randy Brinson, a Montgomery physician, is working hard to legalize the electronic gambling by requesting the support of many important and influential members to the House Bill 577.
Brinson’s goal is to save the Medicaid program, giving a juicy percentage out of the revenue obtained by electronic gambling. This is a good cause to fight for, and at the same time this new option could bring a good agreement to both sides.
The gambling industry is always growing and many people join this activity from all around the world. Whether there is a legal way for sportsbooks to provide this activity depends mainly on the jurisdiction where they are located. In the case of price per head sportsbooks these provide a safe way for bookmaking agents and sports gamblers alike to place their wagers legally and safely online which means there will always be options as long as gambling online continues to be the most attractive past-time on the internet.

How does a bookie work?
Being a bookie is not such a bad job to have, is quite interesting and there isn’t much science about it, all you need to do is keep track of your players’ action, collect money and pay up when is necessary. The most annoying task is probably keep figures, by keeping figures you can see the behavior of each of your players and move lines accordingly.
In the United States, most bookmakers bet merely on college and professional sports or horseracing, some others like to play random odds on current events such as political elections and reality television contests. Bookies will work their way into having a point spread, aiming to guarantee a profit by achieving a ‘balanced book’. Sportsbooks in general work with this procedure.
Bookmaking may be legal or illegal, and may be regulated as well; for example, in the United Kingdom it was at times both regulated and illegal. Sportsbooks are usually located in countries were the activity regulated, making the activity legal. Price per head shops have become the answer to every bookie, allowing them to keep a successful business, taking charge of all the boring tasks and giving them a chance to be like old school bookies: collecting and paying up money.
PPH is mainly software created to place online casinos, sportsbooks and poker activities, all through their website. A bookie will sign up, get a webpage of their own and their players will pay a small fee to access the service. The software will take care of figures, moving lines and reports that the bookie himself can access anywhere and any time. Pay per head services are not easy, cheap and legal, but also accessible to anyone who wants to start their own business, make good profits and have time for themselves.
This type of sportsbook services providers have become very famous in the past couple of years, a lot of the old headaches that came with being a bookie were gone with the inclusion of price per head software. Being a bookie must sound very appealing now huh?

Lucky charms and NFL
Jane, my girlfriend, has a particular way to place NFL football bets. She is the kind of NFL football bettor who uses lucky charms and believes in the supernatural.
Let me put a few examples:
A Sunday afternoon: We were on our way to the airport to pick up Jane’s sister who was arriving from New York, and when we got there, someone mentioned the word “Jets”, so she wrote it down on paper and when we got home, she made a series of straight bets for the coming New York Jets game in different online sportsbooks, surprisingly, she won all of them, even though the Jets were a big NFL underdog.
A rainy Tuesday night: We were sitting at the couch watching TV, and as we zapped through channels, we found a wild life documentary on Discovery channel, so when she saw Jaguars and Bengals, something on her gut told her to place different parlays with those two teams, and so she did. Again, she won all of them…
Monday morning: we took a trip around the state, and found one of those places where you get to see recreations on fights from Wild West Cowboys and Indians, when we got to the entrance, her gut called her attention again, and so she immediately called from her cell phone to a few sportsbooks and placed some round robins and if bets for the Cowboys and Redskins, but this time, she lost every single bet. Her response to that was: “ well, you know how much I hate western films”.
