What is a Pay Per Head Sportsbook

 

Recently, I have a friend of mine who decided to quit his job and become a full-time bookie. I thought it was pretty unusual since he had a good job. However, he is the type of guy that decided to turn his hobby in a full-time job.

I asked him how he was able to start a sportsbook since, well, from what I understand it takes a lot of money to do it. He told me that he was able to do it by using a sportsbook pay per head and it only costs him a few dollars per week to run his sportsbook.

I thought to myself, wow, that is crazy. Since I have thought about retiring from nursing, I thought I would look into it to see if that is something I could also do. Especially since he makes a few thousand a week and he doesn’t have to do much.

What is a Sportsbook Pay Per Head

After a bit of research, here is what I found about what a Sportsbook pay per head is. Here is what I found:

A sportsbook pay per head service is a convenient solution for bookies who want to manage their betting business efficiently. Here’s how it works:

Pricing Model: In a pay per head (PPH) model, sportsbook software providers charge bookies based on the number of players using their platform. The more players a bookie has, the higher the cost. However, the cost is pretty small in comparison to buying the sports betting software. This is because on average, they charge from $2 to $20 per bettors.

When you compare it to how much it cost to buy the software, setup a website, hire people its pretty cheap.

This approach gives bookies flexibility, as they only pay for what they can handle1

Benefits for Bookies:

·         Scalability: Bookies can easily scale their operations up or down without significant upfront costs.

·         Customization: They get access to sportsbook software and can customize their platform.

·         Outsourced Services: PPH providers often offer additional services like customer support, which bookies can outsource.

·         Casino Games: Bookies can also offer casino games to attract more players and maximize profits12.

So, a sportsbook pay per head service simplifies bookie operations, allowing them to focus on managing bets and providing a better experience for their players.

I do know people that bet on sports and if I can get them to bet on sports with me, then I could make some decent money!

What is a good Pay per head company?

Since I found it exciting and definitively something I could do, so I began my search to find a pay per head company. And oh boy, there are lot of pay per head companies out there. I did luck out though an found this article on the top 10 sportsbook pay per head companies that really helped to narrow down my search.

Earn Extra Money as a Nurse with your Own Sportsbook

I have been a traveling nurse for quite a while now and I am currently in Costa Rica.  Even though the money is pretty good most of the time if you work in the US, Costa Rica just is not the same thing.

I have had to do extra work to be able to stay in this country as the demand for nurses in Costa Rica is not as high as in the U.S.  One of the things I have started doing is opened a sportsbook using the pay per head services offered by a sportsbook software company.

I have to admit that it was a lot easier then I thought since I really just pay them $7 a week and get my friends who bet on sports to play at my site.  I didn't have to pay for a sports betting software or anything.  From this, I usually earn about $300 a week extra allowing me to have a very good lifestyle in Costa Rica.

Of course, this is not for everyone as some people may not have any friends that gamble or may not be into the whole gambling thing.  They are other alternatives however like teaching english in Costa Rica, tutoring, and working at a call center.

Be Careful of Generic Drugs from Around the World

As a nurse, I often encounter patients that end up in the emergency room because they decided to purchase generic drugs from that were purchased online or from an unknown source.

Even though many companies that offer generic drugs do provide great products like the ones that are made in Canada for example do provide safe and effective products, they are many other places, especially the internet where one should be wary of.

One of the best example is for generic viagra that is bought online.  Even though about 10% of these online site for sildenafil citrate are quality products, is it really worth the risk?

For example, we usually get a few cases per month where a male patient will come to the emergency room with heart problems or an erection that will not let up.  In most cases, that was due to the patient purchasing generic viagra online from an unknown company.  Here are some statistics of emergency room visits due to ED(Erectile Dysfunction)

If you do decide to purchase it, please make sure that it is from a company that is known and that has been recommended by someone you trust that has actually tried out the product.

So let's keep our nation's emergency room clear of people that have erectile issues due to generic drugs around the world.

Travel Nursing in Costa Rica

Lately, several of my nurse friends have decided to move to Costa Rica and take up jobs as travel nurses which at first was a bit mind baffling.

I mean, why would anyone want to live in Central America and have to fly back to the US for work every month or so?

So I decided to do a bit of digging about what Costa Rica is all about and I was very surprised by my findings. First, real estate Costa Rica is very cheap compared to the US so I can see why moving there would have its appeal.

For example, I was looking into Costa Rica real estate in Ciudad Colon because it is a hot spot for expats because it offers all of the amenities from home and has some of the best weather in Costa Rica when I saw that a $500,000 home in Atlanta can be acquired in Santa Ana for about half the price!

Second, the cost of living is even better as Americans can live quite well there for as little as $1,000 per month thanks to the many Costa Rica descuentos available.

And third, as a travel nurse, they can just work 6 months out of the year in the US (in no particular order) and live the remaining 6 months in a tropical country.

So fi any nurse is thinking about going into the travel nursing industry, they should definitively consider international travel nursing.

Top Sources to Get a List of Registered Nurses

To go along with the theme of this blog, I figured I would go ahead and give you the top sources to acquire a list of registered nurses.

This list of sources is general in itself as every hospital and healthcare agency has its own need.

The sources I am about to mention are general enough where everyone will be able to use these resources and taylor it to suit their needs.

Nursing Schools - If you want a list of fresh nurses that does not suffer from list fatigue this is the place to get it. Nursing schools produce thousands of nurses every year and these nurses will be out looking for a job as sooon as they graduate.

The drawback is that you will be looking at nurses without experience. On the other hand, the salary for theses nurses will be the entry salary.

Board of Nursing - The second source is to get a list from State Board of Nursing. Since all nurses that intend to work in a specific state must register with them, this is a great place to start.

One of the drawback however is that many of these nurses will not be available for work as they may already have a job or be retired.

Nursing Job Boards - The third source is to go through a nursing job board on the internet. Nursing job board have an advantage over the other in terms of freshness if you get a list of registered nurses from a popular job board, because the posts and new applications are constantly updated.

Nurse Staffing Agency - using a nurse staffing agency is a great way to keep from having to do any leg work as the good ones will have a great database of nurses that is constantly updated. The drawback is the cost as it can be very expensive.

List Brokerage Company - The last option which should be used with care is to contact one of the many list brokerage company. I say last option because it is difficult the determine how current the list is and how accurate it is.

Nurse as a Career - Top Nursing Facts

Before anyone thinks about getting into a career in nursing, I truly belive that they should be aware of some important nursing facts before enrolling in a nursing school.

I am not just talking about the basic personality aptitude it takes to be a nurse like caring, having a good head for mathematics and science but about the nursing industry.

Knowing these facts will help you decide whether nursing as a career is right for you.

1. Currently, there is a nursing shortage and many nurses have to work over time


2. Hospitals are looking more and more for nurse specialists


3. There is a nursing shortage


4. Patients can and will test your patience. If you are not patient or understanding of others, life as a nurse will be very difficult.


5. Entry level nurses usually earn around $45,000 a year.


6. Nurses are still perceived as simple assistants to doctors even though their actual role includes direct patient care, case management and more.


7. BSN nurses are becoming the preferred over registered nurses.

I know that this is a bit off topic but I felt the need to write this because most nursing schools only have limited space every semester and it would be a shame to have someone take a spot and end up changing their career after a couple of years working as nurse.

Wisconsin Nurses - Planning for the Future

The Wisconsin State government have been taking the nurse shortage rather seriously and started a statewide survey of over 77,000 nurses.

The early results of this survey shows that only half of the nurses in Wisconsin are working in hospitals as the other half workin in clinics or community health centers.

The study found that the State of Wisconsin is mostly made up of nurses over the age of 45 which is something to worry about in the near future as when these nurses begin to retire, it will create a large nurse shortage unless the age difference in nurses can be equalized.

This information will be used by the state government to see about create and improving nursing programs as well as improving the nursing conditions to keep current nurses from leaving their profession.
