Taking A Stab: Gambling Term

[jjgold]

We use it around here, basically it is I say to a guy I am taking a stab with Duke

It means placing a bet not based on any theory or facts but more for a quick action type bet.

It comes from the term "stab in the dark"

JJ, for being one of us Jews, you're kinda operating at a level "less than your potential."

...but certainly higher than the average SBR poster...
