Bookie' s Hope - General (gambling)


See outsider. An outsider is sometimes referred to as the bookie' s hope, because if the unfavoured and lightly backed horse was to win the race (as opposed to the favourite which would be heavily backed) the bookie would come out ahead (through paying less to investors than he/she would if the favourite won).
