Betting Slang That Makes ZERO Sense If You're Not From Your Country

[Klaus]

"Lock" mentality dangerous. No bet ever certain.

Even 99% probability fails 1% of time.

I say "banger" for a good bet! Is that just me or do other people say that?

 

[TaffyTipster]

Never heard banger for a bet.

Banger here is a sausage.

Or an old car.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

OMG really?? I've been saying "that's a banger!" this whole time!

 

[DublinDegen]

banger in ireland is also a sausage... bangers and mash... but i knew what you meant princess...

 

[FadeThePublic]

I've heard people say "heater" for a winning streak. "I'm on a heater right now."

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Yeah "heater" is common. Opposite is "cold streak" or "running cold."

 

[oli_sussex]

Temperature metaphors universal apparently. Hot streak, cold streak, heating up.

 

[Klaus]

Even in German we say "eine gute Serie" (good series) for winning streak.

Temperature terminology not used though.

 

[TaffyTipster]

What about "on a roll"?

That's pretty common yeah?

 

[SharpEddie47]

"On a roll" comes from craps. The dice are literally rolling well for you.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

Ohhh I never knew that!

 

[FadeThePublic]

This thread is accidentally becoming a linguistics lesson.

 

[TaffyTipster]

Better than arguing about CLV for the hundredth time.

 

[oli_sussex]

CLV important though. Should discuss more.

 

[TaffyTipster]

Brighton mate I'm begging you.

Let us have fun.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

Lol Taffy vs oli about having fun is becoming a theme

 

[DublinDegen]

honestly this has been a nice light thread... no one talking about my problems for once... just vibing about weird words...

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Conor how are you feeling about tomorrow's session?

 

[DublinDegen]

nervous but okay i think... thanks for asking tony...
