Could "a nickel" mean 5000 in the following dialogue?
It seems that it doesn't make sense otherwise.
"$15,000. $16,500 with the vig. Turns out this guy's been calling in
bets under three different names. Always calling around 6:00, 7:00
in the morning when he's sure that the runners were covering the
phones. He bet a nickel three times on the Grizzlies giving 3 1/2.
Didn't have the sense to pay for a half point. Not that it would
have made a difference."
