Speaking of Sports Gambling

Are you planning on venturing out to sports gambling? Why not learn a few sports gambling terms on your way there? Chalk - in sports gambling lingo, the chalk is the gambling crowd's obvious preference. An example of this is Manny Pacquiao in the recently concluded boxing match Mano a Mano where he played against Larrios. Bookies at that time decalred that Manny was endeniably the chalk.

Chalk Player - in gambling, there are people who like to play it safe, who bet only on the favorite. The chalk player is equivalent to the passive poker player. He or she rarely takes much risk and doest not want to bet on the underdog.

Circled game - there are times when there is low action in sports gambling. Such situation is known as circled game. This is a situation in which only a handful has placed their bets.

Data Mining- like in other gambling games such as poker, statistics also play a big role in sports gambling. Some sports gambling enthusiasts rely on them, and that act is called data mining. This practice can be helpful especially in sports gambling because statistics do say a lot. For example, in the game of basketball, you may consult the statistics of one team to see which other teams it is more likely to beat.

Dime - in sports gambling slang, if a buck is a hundred dollar bet, then a dime costs a thousand dollars.

Dog - this is the opposite of the chalk, or the favorite. In sports gambling, this is a term for a team that is more likely to lose the sporting event. This is may be because that team is in a losing streak, or that team has never won against the other one that it is up against at the moment.

Dog Player - if the chalk player is a sports gambling fan who loves to bet on the favorite, a dog player on the other hand bets only on the underdog. Hard as it is to believe, this really happens. The reason for this is that the dog player wants to take the risk and win a larger prize. In sports gambling, the more people betting on the same team or participant, the less the prize is if they win. Because they have to split it up among themselves.

Dollar - this is another term for a bet worth a hundred dollars, same with the buck.
