What is a "flutter"?

A flutter is a small, casual bet, often placed impulsively or without much planning. It is usually a lighthearted wager made for fun or excitement, rather than for serious financial gain. People might place a flutter on various events, such as horse races or sports games, without thoroughly analyzing the odds or outcomes. The term suggests an easygoing approach to gambling, where the amount of money bet is typically modest, and the focus is more on the thrill of the bet than on making a significant profit.
