What I Need to Start My Own Online Sportsbook From Illinois

Starting your own online sportsbook from the state of Illinois is easy peasy but you'll need some help in doing so.

You will need at least five customers (active sports bettors).
You will need a top-of-the-line Pay Per Head to manage everything from live lines to 24-7 customer service to reporting.
Some marketing skills that should employ social media.
A lounge chair to go lay out on the lake since the Pay Per Head service pretty much allows you to operate on auto pilot.
