In the United States a sportsbook or a race and sports book (sometimes abbreviated as book) is a place where a gambler can wager on various sports competitions, including golf, football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, soccer, horse racing, greyhound racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. A sportsbook is the same thing as a “bookmaker” or “bookie.” It’s a company or individual who accepts bets from individual sports bettors.

Helicopter Tail
When a greyhound moves his tail in a circular motion similarly to a helicopter, thus informing everyone that he is really happy. When an ex-racing Greyhound gets excited, sometimes their tail wags in a complete circle, wreaking havoc with anything that might be near like small dogs, children and anything that might have been on the table.
Hook
Another way to say half of a point. For example, a team may be a 3.5 point underdog. That could be called “three and a hook.”
