To add, the terminology of using "units" should only be used or based on people who use a "bankroll".
A bankroll is for bettors who are in it for the full season, or long-haul.
Let's say you want to bet the complete NFL Season.
Before week 1, you deposit $100.
The $100 is now your "bankroll".
In week 1 you see a game you want to wager on.
If you want to wager $3 on it, you would be risking 3Units.
Some bettors always wager the same amount on every game, but other bettors wager different amounts depending on how strongly they feel about a game.
You may not be too sure about a game you want to wager on and only risk 2units.
But you may feel very strongly on another game and want to risk 4Units.
1Unit should always equal 1% of your bankroll, no matter what amount you start your bankroll with.
You may have already known all of this but just thought I would add this and it may help someone else with the same question.
Best of luck...
Large number of people here would lead you to believe that 1% of their bankroll represents their unit amount.
$1,000 'roll = $10 as a unit (1%)
I don't need to tell you that, that is bullshit. If you set aside $1,000 for gambling on a specific sport your more than likely laying $50.00 (5%) per wager and then you add the vig 10% and now your $55 on an average wager.
Once you accept the fact that you are in a losing proposition you can make necessary adjustments and carry on. Oh, been here for 8 years and have been doing before then. I know little about winning and losing and this sport that means damage control OR as some like to say money management.
Best of luck.
