A sportsbook is a place where you can place a bet on a sports event. They offer odds on a variety of games, such as horse races and professional sports. In the United States, sports betting has been legal since 1949, when Nevada became one of the first states to legalize gambling on horse racing and professional sports. Before this, Nevada sportsbooks were known as Turf Clubs, which were independent from casinos. These clubs were able to provide a high-quality gambling experience, and they did so by avoiding the influence of their parent company.
A sportsbook can be a great place to enjoy online gambling. Many sportsbook sites offer mobile apps that allow players to bet on various sports events from the comfort of their own home. This can make them very convenient. Some sportsbooks even offer live streaming of games, which can make your betting experience even more exciting.

In 2011, Delaware sportsbooks brought in $4.4 million in revenue from sports betting during the NFL season. On June 5, 2018, Delaware casinos expanded their sports betting options.
