U/F - Upfront - If a person requires the forum gold upfront, he is asking for you to send the amount of forum gold you're betting before the game starts for the bet to be confirmed.This is commonly asked for when a user is on the trusted/active betters List, and you are not.

Ex. 1:1.5 meaning my 500 fg vs. 750 fg.
Spread - Means a team can have +/- to the final score of the game. You Add or subtract points to the final score based on what you agreed for the bet.
Ex. My Leafs +1 vs. Sabres, if the final score was Leafs 1 - Sabres 2 you would add + 1 to the Leafs final score totaling Leafs 2, therefore canceling the bet because the game would be tied.
+ OT - Means if the game goes into overtime and a team has + OT, the team with + OT wins the game automatically.
A/C - Means auto confirmed. If a person states A/C they confirmed the bet.
Retract - Retracting a bet means that you are withdrawing your offer. Although some bettors find it annoying (and sometimes bad mannered) if someone retracts a bet after it's confirmed, but a bet can be retracted up until game time (unless otherwise specified by the bettors).
Shootout - A shootout is when 2 team go into overtime, and the 5 min overtime period ends then game goes into a shootout. both teams get 3 players which each get to shoot once again the opposing teams goalie. the team with the most players to score wins the game.
