The Myrtle Beach area is ideal for bookies and the Pay Per Head companies that serve them.
Myrtle Beach, a city of just over 27000 people, also has a certain degree of wealth that makes the region especially enticing for bookies.
Sports bettors will be skewing more favorably towards the Clemson Tigers and Carolina Panthers in most games along with the South Carolina Gamecocks, though the later is not expected to be a very good team in 2016.
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.

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.
South Carolina has some of the most archaic gambling laws on the books. Even home poker games are illegal in the state. There are no casinos and no horse tracks. With that said, the Penalty for Simple Gambling and Penalty for Aggravated Gambling are both misdemeanors.
