What is a sharp?

The term "sharp" in sports betting is often used slang in sports betting circles to describe a serious, smart, high-dollar sports bettor. Think of someone who bets professionally, typically winning more than they lose.

They may be focused on one or more sports.

A sharp can be an individual or a group of people (sometimes called "betting syndicates") and they are known as serious investors when it comes to betting.
