You can make book

Posted by Rob on April 23, 2004

i've looked all over for the origin of this phrase, and it seems that it comes from gambling terminology. make book means to be sure of something, or, more precisely from the dictionary, to accept bets from a game or race. i'm wondering where the phrase comes from. thanks.
