Calling all degenerates!
I'm very interested in gambling, but none of the resources I have give the phrases that one needs.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to say:
'cover the spread' - like 'The Patriots won the game but they didn't cover the spread.'
in horse racing, is there an equivalent to 'win, place, show,' or is 1st, 2nd, 3rd used?
Is there a verb or phrase for 'to have money on' or 'to be riding on' as in, to have placed a bet on someone or some team? Like 'I've got 50 bucks riding on those assholes.'
Thanks all.
