Why would I be using the term punter in terms of football punting often? Even in the context of a sports related website, how often is punting referenced?

didn't realise punter was used the other side of the pond very often

Yes, hear "Mon-Kee" all the time in Baccarat and Blackjack so that's why I took a shot at "10".
Had to look it up, so I'm good, but my lips are now SEALED!

I'll take a shot at "Fiddler" being a "Middle Wager" or playing the middle on a game. Example: 1st book has a basketball team at -8.5 and 2nd book has it at -6. So you'd take the Dog at +8.5 and also bet the Favorite at -6 hoping to hit a 6,7, or 8 for a double win. Or just lose the Vig?
good guess but fiddler generally refers to a small time bettor
what you referenced with the middling is similar to arbitrage even though middling still has some risk involved as you have to hope for that game to land on that exact score to lock in the profit
Arbers (as they are called) bet moneylines that have odds close to just over evens like taking both teams +105 at different books guaranteeing a profit
