What does BETTOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A person who places a bet, especially someone who wagers money on a regular basis.
Bettor is the standard modern spelling for someone who bets, keeping the agent-noun pattern seen in words like "actor" and "visitor" rather than the older spelling "better", which today would be confused with the far more common comparative of good. Sports books, casinos, and racetracks all use bettor as their everyday term for a customer placing a wager, from a casual bettor risking a few dollars to a professional bettor who studies the odds closely. The word carries no particular judgment on its own, describing the activity of betting rather than praising or criticizing the person doing it.
