One for the glossary

[Valuist]

I was listening to a podcast the other day and a British bookmaker was talking about "pictures". Not pictures in the conventional sense, like a winner's circle picture. Any UK fans out there care to elaborate? I've never heard the term used regarding bookmaking.

Pictures?

Birdie used the term "picture-perfect day" in his most recent YouTube video.

Yes. I heard it used a couple times in a gambling podcast from the UK. It sounded like it was a synonym for either customers or wagers written.

Is Manchester still active on this site?

Maybe pitchers?

Mike Corrigan once called bettors "pitchers" and bookmakers "catchers."

Corrigan then labeled himself both a pitcher and a catcher.

Love it.
