A quick definition of bookmaker:

A bookmaker is someone who sets the odds and takes bets on the outcome of events, like sports games. Bookmaking is a type of gambling where people place bets on events, like horse races. It's like keeping a diary of a business's transactions in a book of original entry.

A more thorough explanation:

A bookmaker is a person who sets the odds and takes bets on the outcome of events, especially sports events. They are responsible for determining the likelihood of a particular outcome and setting the odds accordingly.

For example, if a bookmaker believes that a particular team is more likely to win a football game, they will set the odds in favor of that team. This means that if someone bets on that team and they win, the bookmaker will pay out the winnings based on the odds they set.

MyStomachsInKnots

17:25
if they still bothered to add you to WL instead of R that means they’re interested in your app
17:27
Would it be psycho to call GULC today since it seems they’re still active rn or is that way too soon considering it’s been an hour and look insane
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:27
that’s not psycho at all lol
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:27
they just might not answer
17:28
Idk how calling is perceived to these schools idk I was always under the assumption it’s more annoying to them than anything
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:28
bad stuff really only happens if you say something really tone deaf that reflects horribly on you, otherwise the people answering the phones can’t be assed to communicate with the adcoms other than maybe leaving a short note on your file
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:28
sure it’s probably slightly annoying
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:29
but unless you’re calling and being like let me in please or what are my chances of coming off the WL you’re fine lol
17:30
Fair. I think imma wait until Monday and call then because I doubt whatever would hear today would change by then and doubt that hearing it today would change anything for the better so maybe patience is the play rn to delulu hope for an email idk this weekend
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:31
i really doubt them not emailing you means anything because i’m definitely rescinded from waitlist and still got it
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:31
so if you’re worried about being in the wrong bucket i don’t think that’s the case
17:32
Oh shit you already withdrew from the list and they still sent it to you?
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:32
i never even confirmed my spot in the list lol
17:32
Maybe they’re behind on processing stuff then. Like seriously behind
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:33
i got waitlisted and ghosted them
KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:33
yeah i think that’s the case
Ijustwannagetinman

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp
17:33
but you should still call because it’s free and there’s no point in mentally toghing out something you don’t have to tough out. save the anxiety for the last week before classes when they could call you any day lol

Last time I called GULC asking about the timeline, they pulled up my file, confirmed my interview date and stuff, and gave me a week range. They were super nice about it and I cannot imagine it would reflect poorly
