That's a good list of slang words and terms in gambling but you didn't listed all of it. I see that you have included Martingale strategy but what about other gambling strategies that gamblers use?. As you can see, it's not just me who think that your list is not complete or there sre more you can add. I am a gambler but there are some slangs or terms that I haven't knew about it that is on your list but honestly, I know some of it which is very common on a gambling site. Good luck.

although I know a little bit about some of the ones listed in this thread, I think it's necessary for beginners to know more slang and terms in gambling, I think you need to update and add more information in this thread so that it can be understood by the readers. another beginner 
This can be learned eventually when you chose to be a gambler for quite long years. But I also think it’s necessary that these terms should be learn by beginner gamblers at its early days so that they will understand more and be more associated with gambling. The terms you have posted OP may only be few but definitely they are helping, so hopefully you can add more to these.

Good list.
I have never heard some of the slang even if I am mostly in the gambling section here. Maybe some of them could just be heard in deep gambling dens and physical bookies before the pandemic. That I haven't tried yet.
It's just sad though that we might never hear some of those terms ever again as online bookies are the new way of betting in this era.
Just to add some explanation about the term "chalk" or "betting the chalk".

Quote
The “chalk” is the betting favorite in any matchup. However, people usually use this phrase when there is a team that is favored significantly over their opponent.

How did it get the name “chalk”?
This comes from a time long before the advanced betting technology that we have when oddsmakers would present the games and the corresponding lines on a chalkboard. The line that would be written in on the chalkboard would only be that of the favorite. In point spread betting, it was known that the underdog was getting that same number of points, even though they didn’t write the number. This phrase started in horse racing, as did most things sports, and by the time the race came around, the favorite’s name would be covered in chalk dust from repeated action as the majority of bets came on the favorite back then.

You can share some of your favorite slang terms and expressions for gambling.
^Though the list is quite good but I think there are more that you need to mention, there are actually a lot of them that you must include in your list. You can share some of your favorite slang terms and expressions for gambling.
Just like this example, High Roller, Jackpot, and more.
However, I appreciate your list which is very common terms that we read here and hear in a gambling casino. The first term that I read in gambling term is that bankroll, wager, and odds which I don't know how to speak before, but now, it is commonly and widely used here.

I'm already familiar with most of the given slang words not because I'm really into gambling. I've just heard and leanred about those words many times on this forum. I wasn't aware that I have already adopted many gambling terminologies by interacting with other gamblers here which is a helpful thing. Truely, we could learn and adopt many knowledgeable things through reading and interacting with helpful topics here.
I have also learned some of these already but there are still some in the list that are new to me. So I believe these are really helpful especially if we want to have a bigger scope of knowledge in gambling, and these slang terms could be perfect for beginners to learn. Anyway, thank you OP for providing us additional knowledge to gain. Hopefully this thread will be updated soon so you can still add some of those we still don’t know. January 07, 2023, 03:40:14 PM

instead of "some gambling slang" you should put "some sports betting slang" as the majority of the slang mentioned is used in sports betting. anyway, I am not trying to undermine what OP shared but this reminded me of this thread that I saw which was posted years ago. you'll see more different gambling slangs which are specifically used for certain gambling games(including sports betting).
January 07, 2023, 02:39:05 PM
Am suprise seeing some of this slang, I do gamble but I don't really gamble frequently, but to be honest I haven't heard some of those slangs before or maybe they don't use them frequently in my country, atleast I have learnt new gambling slangs today, maybe I will start using some.
@OP just like the rest been saying that you've provided out some good list
and it would be more better if the community or people on here would really be tending to add up with those slang and terms so that for those newbie or even those old ones would
be able to check it out on what it do means but this one really suits out into those gambling enthusiast on which it would be somewhat a helpful thing for them to know on.
I don't think the OP will stop anyone from adding additional slangs which he didn't mention, if you know some slangs, then you can add it here, we are here to learn new things. You can just quote the OP and add your own slangs under. and it would be more better if the community or people on here would really be tending to add up with those slang and terms so that for those newbie or even those old ones would

This is great work and research bro. Nice one, i won't say am familiar with all the slangs there but i think its just few am not use to since am a damn addict of a gambler 
. But this particular slang beard really got my interest because i have not come across or heard it before. So with this thread today, i have learnt that such slang exist in the gambling world.
I Dont know but i think some few slangs are not listed there and anyone who knows one or two should feel free to drop so the lecture and discussion will keep getting interesting. I think this one should be added.

This is a very interesting list and an interesting read too, having been been in the business of gambling for some time now, I unashamedly admit that there are still some of this slangs I didn't even know existed not to talk of their meanings, I found some slangs that are new to me on OP's list and also learnt their meanings, though some still a bit confusing to understand.
But over all, this is a very educative post for the gambling community, thank you op for sharing this.

I knew a little of the slang and wasn't too curious about it. If someone asks what that slang means or they want to know what the slang for a word in gambling is, I'll ask them to look it up in a search engine 
Thanks, @OP, for providing the list of words. I guess there are more that haven't been included but unfortunately, I don't really know.

Quite nice list of slang/terms there although I've seen/heard some of it but there are words that are new to me. Perhaps, you can't just meet those words if you aren't a hard-time gambler that plays a lot of different games when gambling. If you guys have something to add you can add it here though Google was around the corner but it would be quite easy to familiarize those words if you've seen them and their meaning.

A definitive list if I do say so myself. The terminologies here we oftentimes use are duly explained without any other compromise. Even I who have been gambling for a while now is surprised to see Beard, coz I don't really know about it until now. If I may add one thing however, I think it should be Revenge Gambling. Which is a manner of betting done belligerently or without proper thinking over because of frustration and burnout after a huge or detrimental loss. I've seen people nowadays succumb to this gambling pattern but it didn't have a name until now.
January 07, 2023, 11:44:07 AM
Thanks OP,you did a good job to bring up this thread for beginners, I am use to some of these terms but not all. it is a good thing to learn more of these gambling slangs.
I have a friend that we do gamble together, he love using these terms and each time I ask him the meaning of what he said,he do explain to me,this was how I gat to know those ones I knew. I have learnt something new today on gambling which makes me feel good.

This is very informative and honestly, I’m not even familiar with some of the slang terms in gambling even if I’m not beginners anymore, I guess its because I’m to focus to play and have fun, I didn’t know I missed a lot of things. This can be a big help to those who are still learning things about gambling, familiarizing yourself with this can help you more on your gambling journey, nice thread OP.

The banters on the side tables often use these terms but I am easily lost in the labyrinth if they use these terms in front of me.
I've heard most of them when I blend into those guys betting in front of the screen for the sports game but never really sank deeply. The ones who use the terms must be those who eat, sleep and breathe gamblers' air.
I think I'm a punter then but not sharp. I wonder how the terms started.

Quite handy indeed for the new ones. Slangs I think, are more useful for beginners than to use actual technical terminologies which they won't understand in an instant; somehow it has something to do with mnemonics. On my end I've learned (not sure if these are slang terms) words such as 'multibets', AG Odds (against odds) and such which my friends and I often use so I am not quite sure if these words are being used by others as well. It just somehow adds enjoyment with my gambling experience.
Kind of funny how Martingale is on the list even though it's an incredibly bad strategy to use (imo). It's also my first time hearing some of the terms in the list such as Beard, Chalk, and Sharp. Rather odd or curious how some of these terms came into existence even. I'd probably never use them (or will probably see them being used), maybe once or twice a year, but glad to see a list.
Well it is more of a technical terminology on my end because it is also being used with other things regarding probability.But if it really is, I have no problem with that. Slangs on the other hand are just ways of players to communicate more efficiently with other players and also to promote convenience than to use the actual word.

I never knew that a person placing bets for other people was called beard.I have witnessed back in 2004 when the driver of a deputy used to place bets for him,we all knew he was not placing those big amounts for himself but we did not know how to name that guy,we used to call it the driver as that was his job.
I reckon it's a term used in a specific country then I guess? Seeing as you're a pretty old gambler yourself and didn't know about it.
