The short answer
Deep in the red. Losing badly.
What does buried mean in gambling? $10,000, just the way you want it. No, no, no. Fifty. I said fifty thousand. Fucking fifty thousand. Go get it. I don't give a fuck where you get it. Fuckers, they take it, but they don't want to give it back. How the fuck can you grin? You know how much I'm stuck? You give a fuck. Do you? Yeah, give yourself a hand. Where's your fucking mouth? Look at this fucking beaut they put in now. Sherbert send you in here to rob me now? Been fucking knocking everybody's dick in all night? Huh? You been beating all the customers tonight, motherfucker? Huh? Jag off. Hit me. Take this stiff and pound it up your fucking ass. Hit me again. Take this one and stick it up your sister's ass. Hit me again. That's it. Keep looking at him, you fucking dummy. If you had any fucking heart at all, you'd be out fucking stealing for a living. Hit me again. What the fuck you keep looking at him for, huh? Look at this. Twenty fucking paints in a row. Hit me again. Shit. You should pay as fast as you collect, you know? That was Casino — Nicky Santoro, banned from every floor in Vegas, stuck deep at the Tangiers, demanding bigger markers and calling 'hit me again' the whole way down. Deep in the hole with no realistic way back: buried. Deep in the red. Losing badly. In plain terms: buried means you're so deep in the hole that getting even isn't realistic — the session is past saving. Any gambling counts: tables, cards, horses, or a betting slate. “I'm buried after that Sunday slate.” Let's use this example. This Joey Jacoby is something else. Can't get out of his own way — buried past the point of no return. But guys like Joey never quit. It's embedded in their DNA. And that's exactly why Joey stays buried. When you're getting buried, there's only one way to go if you keep playing — and it's not upward. Lines and prices can differ by sportsbook. Nothing here guarantees a result or tells you to bet. Lines move and books differ. Nothing here is a guarantee or a command to bet — it's how the number works.
Knowing the language is step one — knowing the true price is the edge. The Cold Line’s signal desk tracks the no-vig fair number and the closing-line value behind terms like this, before the market moves.
