Now that those beginner terms have been presented, perhaps you are interested in knowing the most common sports betting types. Here's a Bitcointalk discussion on the most common sports bets you can make in online sportsbooks: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51263537

Might be more useful if the threas wasn't lock, although the thread was meant to be somewhat useful, I think it is necessary to leave it open to have brainstorming and gather some other infos that we might wanna know that we haven't know yet.

P.S. I want to see more of infographics that might help the newbies that wants to go and make a gamble. This is quite interesting, so I'd better watch for your next work.

I was much into sports betting than other forms of gambling. I knew very few words mentioned, and I haven't seen those words anywhere while into sports betting. Anyhow I'll note it and look for those words when I go on sports betting next time.

Same here. But as soon as I learned more of about sports betting as I bumped into people who knew better, I became to identify myself as no more a beginner in the sports betting world, at least for me lol.

I'm not a handicapper, not usually, I still do outrights (there's a term for beginners!) like Money Line, but I do take a handicap game every now and then. My "problem" is doing parlays, and not all bookies make it easy for you to parlay handicaps together with outrights.

I believe the definition for "Odds" is also wrong...

One more thing could be to show people the differences in UK and US sports betting terms. I guess you're using American (parlay), it's called accumulators or acca for short in the UK. Odds can also be in various formats. Most common is decimals (American) or fractionals (UK). Wink

Hi, buwaytress! Right, outright should have been included there. As for the meaning of "odds," it has already been changed. Thanks for noticing.

As for the odds format, I believe it can be covered by another topic, perhaps something focused on "advanced sports betting terminologies."

Odds format would be better to be in a basic sports betting terminologies. New gamblers need to know about it more than the advanced users, so the earlier newbies knows the basic terminologies the better they jump into higher step on their sports betting journey.
It would be even better if you compile it into some categories. Lets say put the moneyline, under/over, parlay into "Type of bets" or something similar then put the sharp, highroller, handicapper into a category "Type of bettors" etc.
Just my two cents.

Thanks for these suggestions, Bitinity. We should've thought of this when our content person in charge of this infographic was in the process of outlining the whole thing. Anyways, we'll do better in the next info articles we'll publish.

Nice information indeed. This is pretty informative to all beginners out here. There were some terminologies I do not understand. Yet, it's well understood now. Thank you.

A lot of people are coming to gambling section and reply to betting related threads without having knowledge about some of this terms so I hope everyone of those people will come here and learn what every term means. This way everyone will be able to understand each other.I think this pretty much sums every term a bettor should know, at least the beginners.

You can really see those people who do have knowledge on sports betting and who has not in terms of their replies on a certain betting thread.You will able to spot out which is totally
newbie and doesn't know about sports and for those people who are knowledgeable. Honestly speaking there 1-3 words in infographic which I didn't know but also there are terms that I do know
that it isn't listed above.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

Those terms are not in my vocabulary that it is a sport betting terminology, when in fact I just know by now opening this topic. Thanks for bringing this up, for sure it means a lot to beginners too as it is really worth to know terms. At least we shouldn't be look liked a fool when we hear those terms when we are in a sport betting casinos or even you are talking with a gambler.

Since english is not my first language Ifind this infographic is gonna help me a lot when communicating with other gamblers.
I know many of those terms since I read many threads on this board,though.
I will keep an eye on it hoping you will update it with other terms.

Same here, some terms are familiar, but other's, I just heard them for the first time, lol.

It only means that I'm still fairly young into this gambling industry Grin

. Or perhaps I've been doing it but I don't know that they have terms in the gambling circle. So this is really a nice info-graphic specially for newbies and advance gamblers alike.

Honestly I didn't know that an experienced bettor is called sharp which is all the proof I need that I don't belong t that club, nor have I heard of the bad beat term. Thanks for the nice info graphic!

Temporary forum vacation

Does not this list sound like it should be for medium advanced or very advanced betters?

For example, you do not need to say chalk or bad beat, I have never seen any bookie or sports better use the terms. We just say favorites and we just say bad streak. At least not online,,, maybe the terminologies are different for an international audience. I think better sports betting terms for beginners are like, "back" and "lay", which are very important to understand.

Stop bumping your own thread continuously in a row, you are breaking the forum's rules. You are allowed to bump your own thread once in 24 hours only. You can reply to those all posts in single post. Don't be offended, it is a friendly advise as there were some members got banned because did the same thing as what you have just did.
One more thing, this topic should be on Gambling discussion section as it is a general gambling discussion. TY

There are two terms that have the same meaning action and odds I think the meaning on the odds could've been better (multiplier, payout, potential win, etc) but overall helpful infographic. I've heard all the terms except for dime if more terms could be added on the list i'd suggest hedge, arbing, teaser, and system these are some of the terms that you'll hear from other sports bettors.

I've already heard of hedge in sports betting, but I think this is more qualified under "advanced sports betting" terms. Regardless, thanks for sparking my curiosity for the other words you mentioned.

Will include them in the list of terms I need to know (and perhaps share with the community).

Thanks, Carollzinha! That page indeed has a longer list, but it has no infographic like the one I posted. The link I shared above also has sample sentences using the words listed.
