博彩公司, 赌注经纪人
a person or organization that accepts bets on the outcome of sporting events, horse races, or other types of gambling activities
A bookie, short for bookmaker, is a person or organization that accepts and manages bets on various events, such as sports games, horse races, or other outcomes. The bookie sets the odds for these bets and collects wagers from bettors, taking a commission or a percentage of the total bets placed. In return, the bookie pays out winnings to bettors who successfully predicted the outcome of the event. Bookies can operate legally in regulated markets, but they may also run illegal betting operations in areas where gambling is prohibited or unregulated.
