Horse Sayings and Slang |
| The world of horse racing is full of wonderful words and hand waves that mean all kinds of things. This can seem weird and wonderful to the first time punter, so I have given a brief description of most of the sayings, and some of the cash meanings. As time goes on, and you read my emails, you will see me use these words from time to time. It is all part of enjoying the day, and picking the horses should be fun. T Betting Words Nap A Nap, is the most fancied horse of the day by any tipster. N.B. The Next Best tip after Nap. Watching brief. Don't back the horse, but keep your eye on it and how it performs. Used to monitor performance. Shrewdies. These are people who are sharp, and quick to the betting world. They notice any mistakes, movement, or advantage on price. They are generally in the know about things which could give their horse an advantage. (legally or otherwise) In the Know. Punters who know information to give them an advantage. A Gamble. This is when a horses price drops consistantly, and stands out that there is plenty of money coming on for it. Some people use this as a guide to what will win, but it is unreliable. The Price This is the odds that are being offered on horses. Every runner will have a price offered in relation to it's chance of winning. (See price guide) Odds on This will generally be the favourite, and means that you have to put on more than you win, e.g. 1/2 you put on £2 to win only £1 = £3 (add them together for your returns) Odds Against This means that you will win more than you pay, this is the opposite to 'odds on'. e.g. 4/1 you put on £1 to win £4 = £5 (add them together for your returns) Slang words for money:- £1000.00 = Grand or Long'un £500.00 = Monkey £200.00 = Bottle or 2/1 £300.00 = Carpet of 3/1 £100.00 = Ton £50.00 = Bullseye £20.00 = Score £10.00 = Cockle- and hen £5.00 = Fiver or Lady Kadiver Slang words for Prices 33/1 = Double carpet 7/1 = Neves 4/1 = Ruof 100/3 = Burlington Bertie 3/1 = Carpet 2/1 = Deuce's 1/1 = Levels |
