Mecklenburg County bookies in North Carolina cater to that state’s largest city, Charlotte, as well as its suburbs, Concord and Gastonia.

The county’s total population comes in right around a million, and because Charlotte is a hub for the banking sector, the region is especially attractive to area bookies.

But the North Carolina teams have kept many a local bookie up all night. The NFL Panthers landed in the Super Bowl last season while a handful of local college basketball teams - - continue to dominate the sport. Duke and North Carolina will enter the 2016-2017 NCAA Basketball season with the shortest and 5^th shortest odds of winning the Championship, respectively.

Bookies will no doubt need a little help running their operation.

A Pay Per Head runs all aspect of the bookie business with the exception of handling financial transactions. They charge a small weekly fee per customer (per head), often starting around $10. In the long run, bookies and agents alike save money while minimizing the headaches involved in running such a business entirely on their own.

True use of such services essentially converts a bookie and/or agent into a law-abiding revenue sharing affiliate but with a role reversal whereby it is you who receives the larger cut of the revenue share.

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.

The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Charlotte is 1 in 24 and those odds get reduced much further if you happen to dabble in the fine art of bookmaking.

Let’s be clear. a number of bookie-related activities run afoul of state law. Running a wire room from your home or business is a surefire way to land in prison. A true Pay Per Head eliminates this component of a bookmaker business, just as they remove the act of taking bets.
