Abf
ABF means a horse is no longer worth backing at the current odds because the value has gone.
In racing chats, ABF is a clipped bit of betting shorthand foralready been fed or already been fucked - basically, the price has moved and you missed the good number. It is the kind of insider tag punters use to warn each other that the market has shortened, so the play is gone unless you still like the horse at a worse price.

What People Mean When They Say ABF
ABF is used when a horse was a bet earlier, but the odds have shortened enough that the original value is gone. The message is simple: you were on time before, but now the market has moved on.
It lives in horse-racing and betting circles, especially on Twitter, forums, and bookmaker chat. Outside that world, it looks like a random acronym, which is why it only lands cleanly with people who follow prices and moving markets.
Where You'll See ABF
You will usually see ABF in horse-racing comments, tipster posts, and punter group chats where people track price changes in real time. It is a fast way to say "too late at this number "without writing a whole explanation.
The tone is clipped and a little knowing. Saying ABF signals that you understand betting value, not just the result, so it reads like insider talk rather than casual everyday slang.
Examples You'd Actually See
"Liked that one at 8s this morning, but it's ABF now at 4/1". >"I was waiting for the drift, but it's ABF after that move". >"ABF on that runner - price is gone now".
