Years ago I was just starting. and I would bet one dollar which (I am sure you are aware) in bookie terms is usually $100. My man knew I was only betting a buck and the read back was "one grocery dollar".

I don't know what my limit was but I remember I bet $500 on the Superbowl one year ( my largest bet at the time). I called in with a quote of "$500 on so and so" he let it go thru with the read back of "nickel on so and so".

def makes sense with nickels and dimes.

i just know of guys when i was first learning this who would say small dollar amounts but they were the equivalent of 100x that amount.
