thanks. No terminology of it's own then.... I'm guessing you'd be the expert -the bookies is where you find a lot of these terms in regular usage in the UK. Well that and borrowing from a friend.....

Serious North American Gamblers use Bookies from England anyways.
Neither sides slangs are used... its all very straight forward.

If I were you, I'd just use terms that everyone comprehends.
You can't play around with amounts of money just to use slang.
It gives someone an excuse to do whatever profits them.
Don't trust anyone.
