English bettor

From bet + -or.

A person who makes a bet, such as a wager on the outcome of a game of chance or a sporting event. In fact, as Ambrose Hammer places the cage on our table and then sits down beside me, Mindy approaches us, and says to Ambrose: "Horse players, yes," Mindy says. "Wrong bettors, yes.
