Odds boards in a Las Vegas sportsbook
Sports betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing a wager on 🌞 the outcome.
Sports bettors place their wagers either legally, through a bookmaker/sportsbook, or illegally through privately run enterprises referred to as 🌞 "bookies".
The term "book" is a reference to the books used by wage brokers to track wagers, payouts, and debts.
Many legal 🌞 sportsbooks are found online, operated over the Internet from jurisdictions separate from the clients they serve, usually to get around 🌞 various gambling laws (such as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 in the United States) in select markets, 🌞 such as Las Vegas, or on gambling cruises through self-serve kiosks.
