Bookmaker.eu has been in business since 1986. It has operated in Costa Rica since 1997 and prior to that the Dominican Republic.

Bookmaker, not surprisingly, enjoys very high search volume as a result of ranking number one for the term "Bookmaker".  It receives some 12,000 searches per month.

In May 2018, the US Supreme Court overturned decades of sports betting prohibition and ushered in an era where folks across the country can now place sports wagers legally.

California is not likely to license sportsbooks any time soon, however.  This is mostly a result of conflicting agendas between the powerful Tribes and lawmakers.

California teams have been especially successful in recent years (think Golden State Warriors).  The Warriors were off to a poor start in 2019-20 but the Lakers and Clippers are more than making up for that.  Both were favorites to win the NBA Championship.

BetOnline opened futures on all California teams.  As of December 9, 2019, these were your odds (still betable):

Los Angeles Lakers 5/2

Los Angeles Clippers 5/2

Los Angeles Dodgers 6/1

San Jose Sharks 30/1

San Diego Padres 40/1

Los Angeles Rams 80/1

Anaheim Ducks 80/1

San Diego State Aztecs 80/1

San Francisco Giants 200/1

Golden State Warriors 500/1

Los Angeles Kings 500/1
