Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The irreplaceable linchpin around which gambling -- either legal or illegal -- rotates, the Bookie (short for "Bookmaker") is the guy who sets the odds, takes the bets, and pays the winners, all while keeping a cut for himself. He's the best friend of the Professional Gambler and the enabler for the Gambling Addict. In many countries, Bookies focus on accepting bets on professional sports, especially horse racing and association football (soccer). However, a wider range of bets, including on political elections, awards ceremonies such as the Oscars, and novelty bets are accepted by bookmakers in more and more countries. |
