Belgium Americans Seek Out Bookies This World Cup

Belgium Americans in particular will be seeking out bookies as their team is so far red hot in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. For the US-based bookmakers, it is prudent to know where the largest concentration of Belgians live. This is true of all nationalities during any World Cup tournament.

Wisconsin: 57,808 (out of 5,363,675 = 1.08%)
Michigan: 53,135 (out of 9,938,444 = 0.53%)
Illinois: 34,208 (out of 12,419,293 = 0.28%)
California: 26,820
Minnesota: 15,627 (out of 4,919,479 = 0.32%)
Florida: 14,751
New York: 12,034
Indiana: 11,918
Texas: 10,595
Ohio: 9,651

Wisconsin has the United States's largest Belgian American settlement, located in portions of Brown, Kewaunee and Door counties adjacent to Green Bay.

Keep in mind that, when using a Pay Per Head provider, reports can be generated on specific player betting activity. How many wagers are being placed on games or futures featuring the Belgian team.

Another helpful tip: Know the common last names of those with Belgian ancestry. A list of the top 100 appears below. Keep in mind, it's not all-inclusive.

Of course, if Belgium does win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, your Belgian-American players are likely to get paid hansomely no matter what you do as the bookie.

The savvy bookmakers will encourage LIVE IN-PLAY WAGERING and casino play through email promotions. This will simply serve to reduce any losses.
