What does "hammer" mean in gambling?

[FlickShagwell]

Had a nice Saturday and made a nice little chunk of change betting Iowa -7.5 in the 2nd half and the clowns -32. Been betting on sports for almost twenty years in some form or another, and yet, I've only started to hear the term "hammer" in the last couple years, as in "you've got to hammer Bama -21.5." Does "hammer" just mean to bet on? I even googled it and the only thing I could find was a Draft Kings promotion called Hammer the Overs, so that wasn't helpful.

I've always just said "I'm taking Iowa and the points," or "I like the Hawkeyes even though they're giving 22.5." Does it sound cooler to say "I'm hammering Iowa at -4.5?" (Kind of sounds douchey to me, but most new slang does. "Hammer" doesn't "slap," as the kids say.) Or is hammer some entirely different kind of bet?

I've always used that term when betting big on a game I love. I hammered the over in the Cheifs game last night.

Last time I gambled, I lost so much I went and got hammered.

as ridiculous as MC hammer's pants look, as does his hammer time dance, the outfits and dancing of his background dancers have aged like fine wine.

In golf it means double the bet when playing the game "hammer".

In general betting it means you love the bet and you should put as much as you're willing to stake on it.

If you don’t pay up, I’m gonna take a hammer to your beautiful huge penis.

No?

I bet on games.

I hammer other HROTers' moms.

My personal translation is betting at least 5 "units". If your standard bet is $100, "hammering" the bet would be $500+ wagered.

I’ve never gambled on college football, but if I was going to start this week I would hammer the hell out of Tennessee +20 at Florida.

Tennessee had an easy tuneup against Tennessee Tech while Florida came up just short in an emotionally draining dogfight with Bama. The Gators are set for a letdown. Josh Heupel’s Vols are going to cover and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they win outright.

Cover? Maybe. Win outright? 1% chance.

Louisville -2.5 @ Florida State = HAMMER TIME!

(sorry Noles)

Another Hammer - Sparty only -3.5 against Lil' Nebby in E. Lansing?

That will be a drubbing. Nebraska was up emotionally to give a pretty mediocre Oklahoma their best shot. They are going to get the ball rammed down their throats and up their jaxsies by MSU this Saturday.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

If only there was a thread on this board with nearly 6,000 posts devoted to sports gambling.

Yes, I’m attention-whoring, because that thread is pretty much my only contribution to this board.

 

[Thunderlips71]

I think “hammer” is a euphemism for penis or something

I've always used that term when betting big on a game I love. I hammered the over in the Cheifs game last night.

I was really confused when I saw that O/U, that was some of the easiest money of the year.

Yeah. Really weird line for two teams that score in bunches.

So it’s just a douchier way of saying “I took the over in the chiefs game last night.”

Thank you sir!

My site has MSU -5. Still like the Spartans in this one. On the road. At night. A week after blowing your wad and coming up short? I’m TAKING the Spartans.

Hammer means the Last position to bet in a particular hand; sometimes, the person to put the last bet in; usually preceded by the. "You got the hammer" probably means "I'll check to you". Yes, it is a term used in gambling. Strange you didn't hear him. I gamble for a long time, and I meet him every game. In fact, it does not matter so much, and you may not pay much attention to it. I did not find that users use this word on the website, but it would be good to know the meaning if you are a gambler. And yes, I made my gambling website with the help of the software at https://bossaction.com. Very happy to have found them.

Regarding gambling, the term "hammer" describes a player on a winning streak. They can "hammer" their opponents by consistently winning hands. However, finding a reliable online gambling platform can be quite difficult. There are a lot of platforms out there that are simply looking to take your money without providing a fair and honest game. This is why it is important to do your research before choosing an online poker platform. I recommend using a platform like this to read all the reviews of all the best gambling sites.

Oh, in that case, I'd buy myself a huge house and a brand-new Mustang. A friend of mine recently won the lottery, but it was a small amount. So I don't really believe in it. I try to channel my excitement into poker, as I believe this game will allow me to win much more than any lottery. If you are interested in gambling but don't understand much about it.

Gambling can potentially make money, but it's important to remember that it's also a risk. There's no guarantee that you will win. That being said, there are strategies and techniques that can increase your chances of winning, such as managing your bankroll effectively and choosing games with favorable odds. Additionally, taking advantage of bonuses and promotions like Freispiele at online casinos can help you stretch your budget and potentially increase your winnings. It's important to approach gambling with a realistic mindset and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

Hi there. Just came across the thread and wanted to share my thoughts. I totally get what you mean about new slang sounding kinda douchey sometimes. It's all about personal preference, you know? Some folks like using "hammer" because it sounds cooler or more exciting, while others prefer the good ol' traditional way of saying it, like "taking Iowa and the points." Btw, and speaking of gambling, did you know that gambling in Penn State is growing? It's interesting to see how it's evolving over the years. Anyway, guys, let's keep the thread updated.

Never gets old. Thanks, enjoyed

Just in slang-ish English, it’s always meant “hit it hard”.

A chick
A drinking binge
A bet
A tough project or negotiation

In golf it means double the bet when playing the game "hammer".

In general betting it means you love the bet and you should put as much as you're willing to stake on it.

I always heard that called a "press" when you double the bet in golf. Maybe we're talking about two different things tho.

It's called 'hammer' when you're playing the game of 'hammer' has I originally said.

Just regular game, yes, it's a press. But press sometimes can also just mean to add another original bet to the bet.

Example:

Press: $5 bet becomes $10. Press again, $15. Press again, $20

Hammer always doubles. So $5-$10-$20-$40

 

[IowaPackFan]

Casinos are full of escorts/prostitutes. I just assume the term “hammer” has something to do with them.

Okay, thanks for the explanation.
I was in a casino a few times and heard it, but never thought about some meanings. And now I prefer playing online, because there is no casino in my city, and online I can find a lot of different sites with great games. Now I play in one casino that accept eCheck, and I love it. I found out about it after reading the info on https://gamblizard.ca/best-canadian-online-casinos/casino-payment-options/echeck-casinos/ and can say that it's one of the best site dedicated to gambling I've ever seen. All the info is accurate, and it was so easy to choose where to play.

Slang in the gambling world can be a bit hit or miss. Sometimes it feels like they're just making stuff up as they go along, am I right? But hey, as long as you're making bank, who cares what the kids are saying?By the way, speaking of trying your luck, have you ever dabbled in online slots? It's my guilty pleasure when I'm not betting on sports. Sometimes I hit the jackpot, other times not so much, but it's all part of the thrill, ya know?Anyway, keep on hammering those bets, mate! And if you ever feel like mixing things up, give online slots a spin. Who knows, you might just hit it big! Cheers!
