In India, horse race betting has its own unique terminology that local bettors use. The most common term is \“Satta\“ which refers to betting or gambling in general. Another important term is \“Kharcha Pani\“ which means the money spent on betting.
Local bookmakers are often called \“Satta King\“ or \“Bookie\“. The betting odds are known as \“Rate\“ in the local parlance. When a horse wins unexpectedly, it\“s called a \“Dark Horse\“ or \“Andheri Ghodi\“.
Indian racecourses like Mumbai\“s Mahalaxmi Race Course and Bangalore Turf Club have their own specific betting terms. \“Jackpot\“ refers to predicting all winners in selected races, while \“Treble\“ means predicting three consecutive winners.
The betting slip is called \“Ticket\“ and the winning amount is referred to as \“Paisa\“ or \“Amount\“. Many local bettors also use terms like \“Favourite\“ for the most likely winner and \“Outsider\“ for less fancied horses. |
