Line 17:
* Nabiki Tendo from ''[[Ranma ½]]'' makes book on Ranma's fights, setting odds and taking bets. We first see her doing this, with the aid of [[Those Two Guys|her two factors]], during Ranma's first fight with Ryoga. Nabiki's not entirely an honest bookie; she's not above trying to influence a fight to improve her profit margin.
* In the novel of ''[[Durarara!!]]'', Orihara Izaya was the bookie for his middle school's baseball betting pool.
* The teenaged Empress Lashara runs a complex betting pool on a school-wide competition during episode 7 of ''[[Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar]]''. She clearly bungled things, though, because she ends up in the red after having to pay out on almost every bet made.
