I've been reading this forum for the last 2 months, I want to get to know the gambler's point of view, I have 4 years in the business and just getting started as a lines manager, so I want to get the whole picture...

If somebody says they are fading you...it means they are picking the other side of your bets because they think you are a poor handicapper.

Octor43, welcome to The Rx. I hope you enjo the site.

Juice or vig -- the extra money a player must risk to win a set amount when wagering.

Eg. basketball side:

Duke - 6 -110 - you risk $110 to win $100 the extra $10 is juice or vig.


Best of luck, wilheim..

What does "Buy the Hook" mean?

 

[earl]

usually means you are willing to pay extra for 1/2 a point. example line is team a +3 -110. you want 3 1/2 points so you are willing to pay juice at -120 for it.

If you do a search using Yahoo or Google and type in "Glossary of Sports Gambling Terms" or even "Glossary of Gambling Terms" in the search box, you will find many sites that list most of the common words used in the gambling industry. If you need help let me know.
