A type of parlay bet. Betting the Moneyline on an underdog, along with the Over.
Let's say the Indianapolis Colts are favored over the Houston Texans by 5 points, and the over/under is 42. You would say: "I'd like to put in a Tooch Specie on the Texans over the Colts"
You are betting that Houston wins the game outright, AND that the total number of points scored in the game exceeds 42.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
