Maybe it is one of those soccer versus football things, ha.

take a flier
To invest in a high-risk security or business opportunity, called a flier.

I never touch the risky stuff, ha ha.

Thanks Nigel (xnva)!
I agree--and that CEN.l is still trading, well, yes,
they have made a good save. CPHAF.pk is not trading
much over here, but it is good to see the company
hanging in there. For fun I opened a day order a few
hours ago, but it does not look like anybody wants
a glob of cphaf at 15 US cents. I will probably just
let that expire and not even bother to check CEN for
a few days, who knows, it may very well keep running.

My CeNeS position represents two percent of my net
worth however at this price, so it is not anymore
entirely trivial for me.

I think we were punting both on the rugby pitch - and indeed on the Cam and Isis - long before you picked up the pig's bladder :-)

In city parlance, however, 'taking a punt' is something that a 'mug punter' - such as yours truly - does when he feels like a gamble.

(edit) I suppose because punting is a more speculative tactic in rugby than it is in American football.
