Betting Bad Lines every chance you get.

Or on the Post-up side, Bonus Ho

I've been booted from one book for being a "shot taker"

They wanted no part of my +EV action

Constantly betting things like obvious late bets or games with the lines the wrong way round etc would qualify you as a shot taker I think.

The sort of thing where it ends up being a Bonus Bet for you where the worst case scenario is that your bet is voided or that you break even - and the best case scenario is that the book doesn't notice the mistake and pays you out...

Kind of a catch all phrase for weasle like behavior on the part of a player.
