Bookies in the Topeka, Manhattan, Kansas Area
Bookies can be found throughout the Manhattan and Topeka region of Kansas thanks to the hardcore sports fans backing local Kansas State University, home of the Wildcats. USA Today has pegged Kansas State to be one of the top 25 football programs in the nation for 2014, thus making the demand for Price Per Head outsourcing that much more important.
Topeka is the closest city (under 1 hour) to Manhattan, which is where you will find KSU. Emporia and Lawrence are also covered within this region.
As one might imagine, there are plenty of bars and social establishments throughout the Topeka and Manhattan area where bookies can ply their trade, especially the college town of Manhattan. Head to Willies Sports Bar & Grill or the Powercat Sports Grill and you are bound to bump into a local bookie or two or three.
The prosecution of sports bettors is extremely rare in this region, if it has ever occurred at all, and we have no record of any recent high profile arrests involving sports gambling operations.
Nevertheless, Kansas residents and students living on campus should be advised that the state does consider betting on sports a misdemeanor. Professional gamblers, however, can be slapped with a felony and this sometimes trickles down into local bookie territory depending on the size of the operation and money taken in.
The state of Kansas does not expressly prohibit online gambling.
