PayPerHead.com, an online sportsbook service provider for local agents, today unveiled a new campaign featuring Vince Curatola, Johnny Sack of The Sopranos fame.
The campaign leads with Vince asking "Five bucks per head, that's what I wanna pay..." and the website, featuring video and voice overs by Vince, walks you through the product, the process and the competition.
"Five bucks a head is really an industry first given our level of service," a spokesman from PayPerHead.com explained. "And we very carefully and in great detail delineate on the website exactly what you get and at what price level at PayPerHead versus the other serious players, such as Bet Eagle."
And what you get is a lot, including not only the traditional online sportsbook but an optional casino, live poker, in game live betting, mobile betting, horse betting services, tools for managing players and their funds, layoff and scalp accounts, even a "sharp check." "We have the sharpest lines out there and one of the most experienced stages anywhere offshore," the spokesman said, "so if we start seeing sharp action from one of your players, we can give you a heads up. What you want to do with him is up to you."
The choice of Vince Curatola was an interesting one. "We always liked Vince's character on The Sopranos, as John "Johnny Sack" Sacramoni," the PayPerHead spokesman said. "He had a certain style, classy, but not over the top; there's a calmness and authority about him that we really admire. He brings that serious business demeanor to PayPerHead.com, the first sportsbook-service to EVER feature any kind of celebrity in its marketing."
With post-up books like BetUS, Sportsbook.com and SportsInteraction stopping taking US players, Bodog and others struggling with "Ecom" processing problems, the street scene is heating up and players are posting daily in forums looking for a "local out." Players want the huge selection of markets, including live in-game betting, and the convenience of anytime betting online or via their mobile, but more and more say "they want to bet online but prefer to settle in cash on Monday."
Is this the future of online sports betting? Quite possibly. And with firms like PayPerHead.com investing in marketing in an unprecedented way (celebs, who'd have thunk it?!) and in product (they also offer live poker, casino and in-game betting), expect to see this sector grow significantly this season.

When it comes to sports betting and the online community, there is always one rule that seems to be overlooked, and unfortunately for those that miss it passing by, it ends up resulting in the most crucial failure when it is all said and done. While every player seems to think that he has the knowledge and capabilities to beat the system and always land the big score, more often than not that cocky attitude leads to big losses, sometimes even to the extent that they force the player out of the game altogether. Money management is one of the most important factors to successful online sports betting, yet at the same time it is easily among the most overlooked.
While knowledge, handicapping, trends, and experience are all quality factors in winning money on the sites listed with the sportsbook reviews, they are all for none if the player doesn’t understand how to manage his or her money. In every sport, whether it is the NFL, NHL, NBA, or even the sports played at the college level, it is always important to understand the role that Murphy’s Law will play. Just like in the sport that is being wagered on, even the best fall sometimes, and the most important aspect to success is to make sure that when you hit you when big, while at the same time limiting your losses when you just can’t cut it. Managing your money will lead to a consistent stream of winnings, and prevent tough beats, so make sure to pay attention to maintaining the right balance.
Atlantic Division Preview

NHL betting fans have enjoyed a long and busy offseason as their favorite clubs look to improve in order to hoist Lord Stanley’s mug. Today we are looking at the Atlantic Division and how each team faired both last season and this offseason and where we see them landing this year. Sports betting on the NHL’s Atlantic Division has become more enjoyable over the last few years with the vast improvement of each team.
New Jersey Devils
How They Fared Last Season:
The Devils under the influence of hall of famer Jacques Lemaire were able to win the Atlantic Division with 103 points just barely edging out arch rival Pittsburgh Penguins. This team is quite popular among the sports gambling community.
Midway through the season, the Devils acquired disgruntled Atlanta Thrasher sniper Ilya Kovalchuk in an attempt to put them over the top. However, they would fall in the first round of the playoffs to fellow Atlantic Division team the Philadelphia Flyers.
What They Did This Offseason:
This offseason saw Lemaire retire after one season with the Devils and be replaced by Devils legend John Maclean. As well the Devils went out and bolstered their blue line adding Toni Lydman from the Sabres and Anton Volchenkov from the Senators. Currently they are in a battle with the NHL over the structure of Ilya Kovalchuk’s contract extension of $102 million over 17 years.
Where They’ll End Up:
If the Devils can get Kovalchuk under contract, we see them finishing sixth overall and losing in the second round.
Pittsburgh Penguins
How They Fared Last Season:
Last season’s defending Stanley Cup Champion looked far from a defending champ after bowing out to eighth seed Montreal Canadians in round two of the playoffs. The Penguins picked up Leafs stalwart winger Alexi Ponikarovsky believing he could provide some secondary scoring. When he didn’t the Penguins suffered greatly.
What They Did This Offseason:
The Penguins said goodbye to long time power play quarterback Sergei Gonchar who went to the Ottawa Senators. They would then replace him with Paul Martin and Zbyenek Michalek from the Devils and Coyotes.
Where They’ll End Up:
Last season Mark Andre Fleury looked far from impressive all throughout the season. If he can have a career year again, we see the Penguins as a viable contender to the Stanley Cup.
Philadelphia Flyers
How They Fared Last Season:
After being projected by many hockey newspapers as the Stanley Cup Champion for the 2009 / 2010 season on the back of goalie Ray Emery, the Flyers finished as runner ups to the Chicago Blackhawks. They did this on the back of career AHL goalie Michael Leighton who took over when Brian Boucher got injured in round two against the Bruins.
What They Did This Offseason:
This offseason saw the Flyers get rid of fan favorites Simon Gagne and Riley Cote and replace them with Matt Walker, Andre Mezaros, Sean O’Donnell and Nikolai Zherdev. However instead of going out and signing perennial goalies Evgeni Nabokov or Antti Niemi, the Flyers decided to resign Leighton as their number one goalie.
Where They’ll End UP:
We feel that the Flyers have a good enough team to contend again this year with all of the offseason movement. Nevertheless we don’t see them back in the finals because Michael Leighton is Michael Leighton. Until the Flyers go out and sign Antti Niemi or bring back a healthy Ray Emery we don’t see them having as big of a playoff run as last season.
New York Rangers and New York Islanders
We put the two New York team’s together as neither really did that much to improve over the summer. Last season the Rangers missed the playoffs on the last day against the rival Flyers. Conversely the Islanders were out of the playoff hunt by December. Both teams have a lot of trouble scoring and this is no different after the offseason. We see both ending up in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference this season.

Horse Racing Betting – Sports Betting Basics To Get Started Today

If you are new at sports betting on horse racing, it makes sense to get to the track and be able to see what it is like in the true forum for playing the sport, and be able to have the tellers and perhaps even some fellow players answer any questions that you may have. If that is not an option, there is a wealth of knowledge to be found here to help you in learning how betting on horse racing works. In order to place a bet, you need to pick the race, the number of the horse that you are playing in the race, and the type of wager you want to play. It is always important to make sure that you are playing the right track online, because with so many races listed it could become confusing to pick the right one.
Different types of horses run in different types of races, so take the time to consider factors such as length, track, and the talent within the field. There are several different types of per head options available ranging from simply picking a horse to “win” a race, to picking a horse to “place” in the top-two, to choosing a horse that will “show” in the top-three. Unlike in other sports where you are playing against the spread or odds created by the pay head bookies, horse racing comes down to playing against the public and the numbers are based on the consensus of what is being played. Many different tracks offer different options so make sure not to limit yourself, as horse racing can be among the most fun and exciting games to play.
Online Sports Betting – Reverse Bets Emerge As Trending Wager
Written by Webmaster

When it comes to online sports betting, there are always new and inventive methods for wagering that are being established, including most recently in-game wagering and reverse bets. While in-game wagering is as simply to understand as realizing that it basically means the player can wager on the outcome of any game based on it being broken down in to halves and then quarters or periods, reverse bets can be a little harder to understand. Reverse bets are two “if” bets parlayed together, although unlike in a parlay you don’t have to win both of the bets in order to make money.
For example, when playing two “if” bets, the first wager is listed in front of the second, and in order to win the player needs the first wager to come through. If the first wager comes through, and the second does not, the player still wins on the first. If the first wager does not come through, the player does not win. In a reverse bet, you would make two “if” bets, A then B, but also B and then A. Depending on the teams that are picked, the losses could be less in a reverse bet than if the player took a team straight up, so it makes sense to try out the option, especially if feeling confident about two particular teams. The pay head bookies will accept reverse bets on nearly every sport, including the NFL, so get in on the action now as the postseason gets underway.
