You'll be grand mate.

First session always weird but gets easier.

 

[SharpEddie47]

Good luck tomorrow Conor.

 

[Klaus]

Wishing you well Conor. Important step.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

You got this Conor!!

 

[FadeThePublic]

Final question - what's the most absurd betting slang you've heard that turned out to be real?

 

[TaffyTipster]

"Grand salami" in ice hockey.

Its a bet on total goals in all games that day.

Why is it called that?

No idea.

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

I always thought "bad beat jackpot" was fake until I learned it's a real thing in poker rooms.

 

[oli_sussex]

"Chinese odds" in Asian markets. Still don't fully understand them.

 

[Klaus]

"Asian handicap" confusing name for European markets.

Just means handicap with draw eliminated. Not particularly Asian concept.

 

[SharpEddie47]

It originated in Indonesia actually Klaus, hence "Asian."

 

[Klaus]

Learned something new. Thank you Eddie.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

This was such a fun thread! I learned so much!

 

[FadeThePublic]

Same. Now I can pretend to be British and say I'm "having a flutter on the footy."

 

[TaffyTipster]

Fade mate you'd sound ridiculous.

Stick to American slang.

 

[oli_sussex]

Good thread. Educational and entertaining.

 

[DublinDegen]

yeah cheers for this lads... nice to have a normal conversation for once...

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Anytime Conor. Good luck tomorrow man.
