So i look into it and find pay per head and it looks very interesting and a possible solution for my friend (it's really my friend bc if I had $350,000 liquid I can think of a million things better to do with it). He's rich and makes a lot in his business but obviously likes action.
I've looked online and everything looks shiny and legit (I saw it on the interwebz). I just would hate to see someone scammed. Realbookie.com appeared on more than one rating list which i know are all shills. Just came here to see if someone does business with any of the companies and if they are legit. Thank you for your advises
Oh I thought you were looking for a site to bet. Now it makes sense.
Theres no way for the site to scam you unless youre braindead. Everyone works a little different but the basic set up is that you "rent" skins from them for X amount per player, per week (or per month.) Ive never heard of any up front costs although I wouldnt be shocked if there were a small "start up fee" or something.
However most people I know that have done that have gone through someone reputable who already has offshore connections. So some guy pays aruba 10 bucks pph for you and you pay him 15. Going directly to the offshore source would be cheaper and def the better option if you can, I suppose. But yea...getting scammed by your pph skin is like the last thing youd need to worry about. Running a pph book can be BRUTAL though. You need to meet people face to face and settle in cash and you need to have a plan for when cant pay you because that will happen. I can think of worse things to do with 35k but I can certainly think of better things too.
