Can someone explain some things for me?

Ive heard the phrase "bonus whore" alot on these forums. What exactly does that mean?

Or when people say the player tried taking a shot at the book? What the hell does that mean? How do u take a shot? Or the other one taking advantage of a bad line? Now I understand betting a line say that should be 20 and is misprinted as 2, ok I understand that but why do players get blamed for the books mistake? I understand canceling the bet but dont be mad at player.

I just dont understand how players can truly take "advantage" of a book. I mean they set the lines and control them how can a player truly take advantage of them?

Im sure I am forgetting some commen phrases so if you guys know more would love to know them and what exactly they mean.

I guess "bonus whores" would mean having 20 family members signed up at the same book to take the 50% signup bonus.

"taking shot" hmm, I can maybe give one example:
Dude has not money in his bank, makes a $2,500 NT instacash deposit.
if he loses, stop gambling and run. And if he wins, he pays back Neteller.

As for betting bad lines. I don't get it either. I thought they put out lines for us to bet?

Bonus whore doesn't have to be multiple accounts, it can simply be someone who is only in it to clear the bonus and get out (usually used to mean scalper doing this). Now bonus fraud usually means multiple accounts or something beyond just fairly betting through a bonus.
