What is a Bookie in Sports?

A bookie in sports is someone who accepts wagers on sporting events based on specific odds for each game. When a player wins a wager then the bookie is the one responsible for paying out the winning amount to the player, and when a player loses a wager then the player is the one responsible for paying the losing amount of the wager to the bookie.

So bookies essentially will always have or need the opposite of what each player wagers on. So for example, if the LA Lakers are -4 point favorites against the LA Clippers and a player bets the Lakers -4, then the bookie would either need the Clippers to win the game outright or for the Lakers to win the game by only 1 to 3 points in order for the betting agent to earn money on that wager. The opposite is needed by the player in order to win the wager, meaning the Lakers have to win the game and win by 5 points or more for him to win the wager.

Profitable Biz

Booking action on sports is a very lucrative business, because in the world of sports gambling players always lose over the long term. Just look at any Casino, they are generally luxuriously built and very successful because people come and gamble and the majority of the people walk away losing a lot of money. Casinos are not built and stay in business because players are winners.

So if you are looking to be a bookie and accept action on sports then the easiest way to do that and be successful at it would be to sign up with a pay per head service.
