Cartered (Car-ter-d) A north of the 49th parallel term originating within the borders of Canada. First thrust into public consciousness during the gold rush days in the Yukon, regarded as meaning incredible shortfalls and extreme unluckiness when success has been all but guaranteed . A term identifying an unlucky loser whose game playing is unmatched and often avoided by other players due to vortex of losing that follows and routinely due to association. Getting Cartered was documented in a 1914 article that may never have been written, in which a high profile dentist had placed a $100 bet on a horse race at their local track. This tactician of molars chose the horse “ShotsonGoal” for a win that paid a return of $10k. The horse won the race by 4 lengths, with the sharp dressed dentist getting “Cartered” by the horse winning.. but…the jockey was knocked off the horse at the start of the race, thus disqualifying the horse and making his ticket a loser!
