Recently, another poster wrote me in a rep comment about Bait Words. I liked them well enough to start this thread.

NIT & HEART are typical bait words often used to coerce someone into taking a bet that they might not do otherwise.

This is how I define these two words.

NIT: You are a "little nothing" because you won't do what I want you to do. :grin:

HEART: I am more of a man than you are and have more resolve than you to wager big money bets over a long period of time (primarily because I have the nuts over you in whatever we wager on because I can open up your noseand make you bet on something that you have no chance of winning at and I have "Help" to handle the long sessions if you would be so lucky as to last longer than a short while).:D

I would love to hear some other "bait words" or bait phrases if you've got them.

Maybe you've got some bait words for Internet Forums instead of gambling. I like to out the bait words in gambling at pool but I'm open to be entertained.

If you want to take a shot at redefining NIT & HEART, be my guest. :cool:
 
Game-making negotiations break down....
...as you walk away, you mumble...
"Don't know why you'd wanna gamble with me anyway....
...aint got but 40 thousand on me."

'SAY WHAT? We have GOT to make a GAME!!!!!"
 
No balls, no blue chips.
I'm dumb to offer you this much, and you'd be dumber to turn it down.
C'mon, I'll play you left handed (or one handed, or with the bridge).
I could spot you the rainbow and still beat you.

GAMBLER, as in "sure he'll do a cheap set now and again but he's not really a GAMBLER.
He's mostly just a tournament player. He won't play for more than mcdonald's money, not even if he has the nuts."

This bait can draw out guys who simply don't gamble. Basically it says... doesn't matter how good you shoot, if you're not playing for (and losing) money, you're a nobody.

FISH. Let someone 'accidentally' overhear you calling them a fish in the most disparaging tone possible. Now they're almost morally obligated to play you even.

COWARD. It's an old-fashioned classic, and people still react to this one today like they did hundreds of years ago. Causes people to avoid taking the weight they need.

HAHAHAHAHA! That's some good ones for sure and I like your definitions as well. You know the ropes for sure. :yeah:

Are you Matt? :grin-square: j/k Good lines though!
 
Well, spit it out!

You're a NUT LOCK! (meaning that you won't gamble unless you have your opponent locked up in a match that he can't win). In reality, it is just another way to demean another person with names, to the point where they get so angry that they make a mistake in taking a bet that they really can't win.
 
Used to have a thing back in NJ in the old days.
Two guys woofing hot and heavy.Make a game.
One guy says "Dump".
Both empty thier pockets and they play for the amount thats the smallest.
I saw guys even count thier change.

Good one!
:eek:
 
No buzz words but....

"Wanna play a few cheap sets?"
"Nah"
"Yeah , I don't blame you."

"Wanna play a few cheap sets?"
"Not really"
"Smart move"

"Wanna play a few cheap sets or do you wanna just hand me your wallet?"

"I'd like to play some cheap sets but I'm an APA player so I doubt there's anyone here who would dare play me"

"Hey , do you know where the ATM is? I asked at the bar and they pointed me in your direction."

WOW! You've been around a bit too. :smile:
 
I dont know many real gamblers that make a game based off what someone calls them. The guys who do that are known by another word: Fish.
 
When you get your balls out of your wifes purse, feel free to come back and bet something.
 
Letting players here you over saying words like "garbage" and "trash" work well..

I like to tell people "ya figures ur just another trashcan locksmith" when they want either fair weight or to much weight.

Nit and Coward are my favorites though.

Saying "kid you got the world and then some..." also will get some good action.
