sports book

Wager-taking establishment

A sports book is an establishment or service that accepts bets on sporting events—horse races, football games, boxing matches, and the like.

Legal sports books operate in casinos and online in jurisdictions where gambling is permitted: I placed my bet at the sports book before the game started.

Also spelled sportsbook.
