Definition:Betting without needing to have up front money on account to place a wager. If you win, you are paid off and if you lose, you are billed. Standard with barroom bookies. Much less common with online sportsbooks. The alternative is Post-up Betting.
Example: Frank has grown comfortable with betting on credit because he only has to pay when he loses.
