Not really. There just seems to be more than one meaning, and we were each aware of different ones. The meaning might vary by country (I am in the UK).

It was a mistake because I got downvoted by issuing a correct statement (if punter is interpreted as a gambler).

I am from the UK but moved to Australia about 35 years ago
