A crypto airdrop is a promotional activity typically performed by blockchain-based startups to help bootstrap a virtual currency project. Its aim is to spread awareness about the cryptocurrency project and to get more people trading in it when it lists on an exchange as an initial coin offering (ICO). Airdrops are generally promoted on the company's website, social media, and cryptocurrency forums. Coins or tokens are sent only to specific wallets based on the blockchain network or coins held in existing wallets. To qualify for the free gift, a recipient may need to hold a minimum quantity of the crypto coins in their wallet. Alternatively, they may need to perform a certain task, such as posting about the currency on a social media forum, connecting with a particular member of the blockchain project, or writing a blog post.

An alternate line is a spread or total that is a derivative of the standard  betting market. These lines will be higher or lower than the main line being offered at (or around) -110 odds. Alternative lines that have a higher win probability will have shorter odds. Vice-versa, alternative lines with a lower chance of winning will have longer odds. An example of an Alternate Line is an Alternate Total for Match Score which offers a higher or lower total with odds changing accordingly (such as in NFL a Total being 50.5 -110 and an Alternate Total being 49.5 -167). It can also be used in spread/line betting in the form of an Alternate Handicap which offers a higher or lower spread/line (such as in NBA a team being +4.5 -110 and an Alternate Handicap being +5.5 -167).

A bookie, short or slang for “bookmaker,” is someone who facilitates gambling, most commonly on sporting events. A bookie sets odds, accepts and places bets, and pays out winnings on behalf of other people.  Bookies do not usually make their money by placing bets themselves; rather, they charge a transaction fee on their customers’ bets known as the “vigorish” (“vig” for short). Bookies may also lend money to bettors. A bookie can be an individual or an organization.
