Hey guys
We're making betting definition videos and one of the videos in the series will try to define different types of bettors. Here's a list that I found in the Pinnacle Sportsbook Glossary:
· Handicapper – Someone that studies and wagers on sporting events.
· Wise guy / Sharp- a well informed handicapper of bettor or professional gambler
· Square – The opposite to a sharp - someone that bets casually and is not a professional or full-time gambler.
· Shortstop – someone that bets small amounts and doesn’t bet often.
· Flea – a low-wagering bettor that continually requests bonuses.
· Chalk Player – A bettor that wagers on favorites and rarely bets on underdogs.
· Dog Player – A bettor that chooses to wager on the Dog or outsider.
· Scalper - Someone who attempts to profit from the differences in odds from different books by betting both sides of the same game at different prices.
· Scouts – Refers to a bettor that waits for what he considers to be an unusually strong wager. Basically, he is keeping an eye on the market movement and betting activity before choosing his bet.
· Beard/ Runner – a friend or acquaintance that places bets in order to hide the true identity of the true bettor. A betting red herring so-to-speak.
· Bridge Jumper - A bettor that specializes in large show bets on odds-on favorites.
Are there any that I am forgetting, should take out, or simply change the defintion?
Cheers in advance
