Abbreviations regarding bets - The Punters Lounge

Bazooka Joe · 03-04-2006, 17:35

Hi!

Had to open a new thread because I'm not allowed to send PMs yet

I'm quite new to online betting, particularly in an english speaking environment.
I want to know if there is a kind of list of all the common abbreviations regarding sportsbetting.

I found out (

) that AH means Asian Handicap but what does CS mean?
And there are several other ones which I cant figure out...

Thanks in advance,

Joe

CS = Correct Score (e.g., betting that England beat Brazil 3-0).

Paul Ross · 03-04-2006, 18:16

List them here Joe and you'll get answers.

just a couple that come to my mind right now:

FGS = first goal scorer
ATS = any time scorer
HT = half time
FT = final time

will edit later if i remember others

DNB = Draw No Bet - A draw results in returned stake
NTL = Not To Lose (or Shit Cable Company!)

all sorts of Asian Handicap (AH) abbreviations that may crop up form time to time. If you have any questions then just add me to msn if you want

Couple more from American sports :

ML = Money Line (ie. straight bet not a handicap)
ATS = Against the spread

Evening all.
While on the subject of abbreviations, whilst looking over the Pinnacle site, on certain Asian odds, they have an abbreviation of pk.
So, the question is, for a dumb ass like myself... what exactly does 'pk' mean ?

Thanks.

Paul Ross · 04-04-2006, 13:07

I believe it means "pick".

DeepBlueDevilFish · 05-04-2006, 19:24

Yep that's right. Same as Asian 0 ball handicap.

Tulenos · 05-04-2006, 21:52

PK is the same as ML and the same as AH 0

And what do users mean when they write something like 1/10 or 7/10 ?

Its a confidence level used in place of any currency.

eg. Chelsea to win English Premier League 10/10

Arsenal to win CL 7/10

West Brom to avoid relegation 1/10

HTH.

Some also play level stakes like myself and Taza D so these will always be 10/10.

Thanks for the clarification of the meaning of the mysterious 'pk' chaps.
