Difference between bet and open

Is there any practical difference between flg_f_bet and flg_f_open? What would constitute a bet if it's not an opening bet for that street? Are they really equivalent? It wouldn't seem that "bet" would include calls and raises (I hope not because I'm sure I've used bet assuming it really is an opening bet). I thought I'd be able to find the answer by searching, but I don't see it addressed directly and I see examples where people use flg_f_open and flg_f_bet (and even flg_f_open_opp) in the same column, which seems redundant It's pretty clear that open_opp isn't needed in the same column as open (although I understand it may be needed in the opportunity column, but not in the same column).

as far as i know they mean the same perhaps thereĀ“s some slightly theoretical difference between them but at the end they show the same, a flop bet is the first bet in that street so flg_f_open tracks the same.

Yes if flg_f_bet is true then flg_f_open is also true and therefore redundant if it is also included in the same expression.

OK. Thanks much. That's reassuring because that's how I've always used "bet", but then I was concerned there was perhaps some difference I didn't factor in.
