Bazooka Joe Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 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 (:loon) 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets CS = Correct Score (e.g., betting that England beat Brazil 3-0). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archaeus Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepBlueDevilFish Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets Couple more from American sports : ML = Money Line (ie. straight bet not a handicap) ATS = Against the spread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Nader Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets I believe it means "pick". ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant23 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets And what do users mean when they write something like 1/10 or 7/10 ? Joe 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. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Re: Abbreviations regarding bets And what do users mean when they write something like 1/10 or 7/10 ? Joe Some also play level stakes like myself and Taza D so these will always be 10/10. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
