The sportsbook and the oddsmaker

For Place sports bet, normally we go to a sportsbook -- a place that collect & accepts sports bets. Many sportsbooks can let us place the bet via telephone or through online. For your information sportsbook & oddsmaker it is totally different.. The sportsbook is just simply accepts sports bets from us & the oddsmaker is a person who sets the betting odds (can be explain as boss in our bet).
