Chunkey Chunkey (also known as "chunky", "chenco", "tchung-kee" or the "hoop and stick game" ) is a game of Native American origin. It was played by rolling disc-shaped stones across the ground and throwing spears at them in an attempt to place the spear as close to the stopped stone as possible. It originated around 600 CE in the Cahokia region of what is now the United States (near modern St. Louis, Missouri). Chunkey was played in huge arenas as large as 47 acres (19 ha) that housed great audiences designed to bring people of the region together (i.e. Cahokians, farmers, immigrants, and even visitors). It continued to be played after the fall of the Mississippian culture around 1500 CE. Variations were played throughout North America. Early ethnographer James Adair translated the name to mean "running hard labor". Gambling was frequently connected with the game, with some players wagering everything they owned on the outcome of the game. Losers were even known to commit suicide.

Gambling Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning money or material goods. Gambling thus requires three elements be present: consideration, chance and prize. The outcome of the wager is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing wagers on the outcome of a future sports contest or even an entire sports season.

Tripalium Tripalium or "trepalium" (derived from the Latin roots, ""tripaliare"" and ""pālus"" – literally, "three stakes") is the Latin source for several common modern words including, "travail" (French), "trabajo" (Spanish), "travaglio" (Italian), "trabalho" (Portuguese), "traballo" (Galician), "treball" (Catalan), and "travel" (English). Although it is commonly thought to refer to a torture instrument consisting of "three stakes" (based on its literal meaning), this definition is widely contested as the use of the term in the ancient Roman Empire indicates that it may have broadly referred to any laborious task that involves significant constraint. Consequently, tripalium is one of the several work-related root words from the Mediterranean region whose modern day definition is widely contested.

Big bet In a fixed-limit poker game, a big bet (BB) is the larger of two fixed bet amounts. A big bet is used in the final rounds of a game to increase the pot amount and thereby enable the possibility of a bluff. Big bets are generally double the wager of the initial or "small bet". Any multi-round poker game can use big bets to standardize wagers while maintaining a sufficient risk-ratio to encourage bluffing. Casino poker tables use big bets to set a limit to the amount of money a patron can lose in each wager.

Hustling Hustling is the deceptive act of disguising one's skill in a sport or game with the intent of luring someone of probably lesser skill into gambling (or gambling for higher than current stakes) with the hustler, as a form of both a confidence trick and match fixing. It is most commonly associated with, and originated in, pool (and to an extent other billiards-family games), but also can be performed with regard to other sports and gambling activities. Hustlers may also engage in "<dfn id="">sharking</dfn> "—distracting, disheartening, enraging, or even threatening their opponents—to throw them off. Hustlers are thus often called "pool sharks" "(compare "card shark")". Professional and semi-pro hustlers sometimes work with a "<dfn id="">stakehorse</dfn> "—a person who provides the money for the hustler to bet with (and who may assist in the hustling)—in exchange for a substantial portion of all winnings. Another form of hustling (often engaged in by the same hustlers who use the skill-disguising technique) is challenging <dfn id=">"marks"</dfn> (swindle targets) to bet on trick shots that seem nearly impossible but at which the hustler is exceptionally skilled.
