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.
There are currently 12 names in this directory beginning with the letter H.
Handicap Race
When horses carry different weights based on their official rating or greyhounds get a head start based on their ability.
Handle
The amount of money a sportsbook or sportsbooks take from wagers. This could be broken down by sport, region, casinos, and more.
Hare
Historically and traditionally, the most popular animal used as a prey in greyhound coursing; these quickly reproducing animals are alert, fast and can reach the speed of 72 km/h.
Hedge
Hedging is a strategy used by sports bettors to either reduce the risk of or to guarantee a profit from a wager.
Heinz
A multiple bet consisting of 57 bets (15 doubles, 20 trebles, 15 four-folds, 6 five-folds and a six-fold) involving six selections in different events.
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.”
