Bookies are prevalent throughout the beautiful Southwestern state of Arizona.  Residents of the state are fans of the NFL Cardinals, a few College Football teams and the NBA Suns among others.

Major cities and home to hundreds of thousands of bookies – some good, some not-so-good – include Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler and Scottsdale.  Phoenix is the 6th most populous city in the United States.

Phoenix is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Phoenix is a city of sales and office workers, service providers and professionals.  They are also mostly young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters, an ideal client base for local bookies.

With a crime rate of 46 per one thousand residents, Phoenix has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes.  As such, bookies in this sprawling city will typically utilize the services of offshore Pay Per Head operations like AcePerHead.com.  This is done to eliminate exposure but also to improve profit margin.

Scottsdale has 226,918 people and 60 constituent neighborhoods.  Scottsdale is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 92.88% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. 

The crime rate in Scottsdale is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 27 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate.

Chandler, with a population of 249,146, has many wealthy residents as house prices are among the highest in the state, and in all the U.S. for that matter.  Bookies can thrive here as a result.
