I need a little help. I need to know the definition of "superbook." I can't find the word in any of my dictionaries. The reason I ask is that I placed two bets on baseball sides at Victor Chandler's (VC) today, and though I asked for 3-dimes on each game, VC
saw fit to only give me $1500 per game. I'm a bit chagrined, to say the least. I mean, how can a huge international sportsbook like VC boldly proclaim itself as a "superbook," and yet only take $1500 on a baseball game?
The prefix "super" means "above" or "beyond."
Therefore, if the prefix "super" is placed before book (meaning sportsbook) the implication--at least to my mind--is that the book would be special and offer betting limits that would exceed those of "ordinary," or "non-super" books.
Consider a couple sample usages of the prefix "super." First, there is the "Superbowl" which is the ultimate game in football. Second, how about Superman, a guy whose cold steel rod was even superior in performance to the 12" weapon packed by the late, legendary porn star John Holmes (who was appropriately nicknamed the "Human Tripod").
Anyway, we Bettorsworld members should probably come up with a precise definition of "superbook" and then submit the word and its definition for entry into Webster's and Oxford's dictionaries. Then, if Victor Chandler does not fit the official definition of "superbook," they will be forced to relinquish the term as part of their name.
