Bookies are plentiful throughout North Carolina (NC), which is comprised of three geographical regions (the Piedmont, Blue Ridge and Coastal Plain).

Of these three major regions, the Coastal Plain is by far the largest.

From Wikipedia:

The Coastal Plain is the largest geographic area of the state, and covers roughly 45% of North Carolina. The Coastal Plain begins along the fall line, a line of hills which stretch from the Sandhills region along the South Carolina border, through Fayetteville, then Raleigh, and finally through Henderson, North Carolina near the Virginia border.

The smart NC bookies utilize Pay Per Head companies for all their outsourcing.

Utilizing contracting services is common in many successful industries.  In the case of a local bookie, the Pay Per Head provides a prudent means of adding that necessary layer of security, not just to protect from savvy sports bettors, but also by minimizing the potential of becoming victimized by criminal elements. A known area bookie residence will typically mean “cash on hand”, sometimes lots of it.

Pay Per Head companies also offer live in-play betting, thousands of proposition bets and a live online casino platform that locals simply cannot offer.  Many of these businesses also offer online poker platforms. 

In addition to heavy wagering on the NFL 2015 NFC Champion Carolina Panthers, college football is embraced in North Carolina with the Eastern Carolina Pirates having one of the highest average attendance among the AAC... by nearly 10,000 fans per game.  The North Carolina Tar Heels and NC State Wolfpack are two of the state’s other successful programs.  And then there is Wake Forest and their Demon Deacons with a strong fan and betting base in and around the Winston-Salem area.  Duke is another with a strong fan base in their home region of Raleigh Durham.

None of the state’s college football programs are expected to achieve championship status in 2016-2017. 

North Carolina is most known for their hugely successful college basketball programs with Duke the favorite to win and North Carolina among the top four teams with the shortest odds.

Only two states have more universities fielding teams at the NCAA's highest level, Division I FBS. North Carolina has seven FBS teams in all—the North Carolina Tar Heels, NC State Wolfpack, Duke Blue Devils, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, East Carolina Pirates, Appalachian State Mountaineers, and Charlotte 49ers.
