So, I was messing around with betting the other day, just for fun, and I stumbled upon this thing called “SU.” At first, I was like, “What the heck is this?” I mean, I’ve seen all sorts of betting terms, but this one was new to me.

I started digging around, you know, hitting up Google, checking out some betting sites. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, to be honest. I found some stuff about prisons, like the “Florence Fci Address” and “Florence Fci Inmate Search” – totally unrelated, but hey, that’s the internet for you. Then there were some real estate listings from Zillow, obituaries, and even some military training stuff about “TCCC.” Talk about a mixed bag!
Anyway, after sifting through all that randomness, I finally figured out what “SU” means in betting. It stands for “straight up.”
- Straight up means you’re simply betting on who will win the game, no point spreads involved.
So, if you bet on a team “SU,” you’re just picking them to win, regardless of the score. It’s like saying, “I think this team will win, period.”
For example, if the Los Angeles Lakers are playing the Boston Celtics and you bet on the Lakers SU, you win your bet if the Lakers win the game, no matter if they win by 1 point or 20 points.
It’s actually pretty straightforward once you get past the initial confusion. I even tried placing a few small “SU” bets myself, just to see how it works in practice. It’s kind of fun, especially if you’re not into the whole point spread thing.

My Takeaway
Well, this whole “SU” thing taught me that even in something as seemingly simple as betting, there’s always something new to learn. And the internet is a wild place where you can find information on just about anything, even if it’s not what you were originally looking for. Also, using Google’s translate service can help me a lot if some of the content is not in English.
Anyway, I thought I’d share my little adventure with you all. Maybe it’ll save you some time if you ever come across “SU” in the betting world. Or maybe you’ll just get a kick out of my random internet findings. Either way, happy betting!
