If I were them I wouldn’t make “book” on Christie. UK “Bookies” bet on information they get. If they’re following American media then that’s the basis of them playing the odds. Anybody know what we call a “bookie” are called in the UK ? I know it isn’t “bookie”.

It is ‘bookie’. Lived in the UK for the best part of 30 years. Everyone calls them bookies. There are bookies on every main street.
