I have a unit

So a unit is a small appendage?

Emphasis on small

Emphasis on small

Seriously though.

Seriously though.

It’s an amount you place on each bet. Can be a set dollar amount or a percentage of your bankroll.

So let’s say I have a balance of $500, and I decide a unit is 1% of my balance. One unit means I bet $5, two units means I bet $10, etc

what is a unit?

A typical betting amount generally based on how much you have deposited in the app and your willingness to bet.

I don't bet big money so my betting unit is $5. If I have more confidence in a certain game I may bet 2 units ($10)

my unit is not going to be very impressive then.

I.E. it's sounds a lot better to say you are betting a "unit" that it is to say I'm betting five dollars.

I always thought of units as being more indicative of confidence in the bet

When the unit is small placement is that much more important.

It technically is. If you're betting 5 units, you're pretty confident in the pick.

So, a typical Thursday night?

The point is to level things out when taking bets. If a person says they're laying $10 on a game, but their bankroll is $10,000, it is t a big deal. If they have a $50 bankroll, a $10 bet may mean a lot. So if you say a unit is the smallest bet you'd place then the $10,000 and $50 bankrolls can discuss their confidence more easily.

I had a horrible read on Bradley. I think this is the second time I lost on them. I should stay away from the MVC

Anybody betting the UNI game tonight?

My gut says take the points as it'll be a slow and ugly game but I honestly don't have a clue. Kinda want some action.

I’m all over MSU. Normally I’d say UM bounces back but the rivalry makes me feel 12 is too high.

I took Oklahoma -2 and Bradley +2. Can anyone tell me why Bradley isn’t favored in that game? Didn’t they smoke them a few weeks ago and are playing at home tonight?
what am I missing?

I trusted you!

Lol we need to put a disclaimer on all posts in this thread
