What is your unit size?  Assuming each unit is %1 of your total bankroll, you are risking %70 percent of your bankroll on 4 games in 1 day.  With the variance in sports betting, you would go broke pretty quick, very very unlikely to withstand a season of 500+ bets.  Plus if they are %1 percent bankroll unit bets, how is your win-loss difference +50 wins but you are up 736 units?

On the flip side, assuming your unit bets are less than %1 percent of your bankroll, it makes it more likely you could bet 70 units on only 4 games and not get wiped out financially, but then being up 736 units is pretty misleading isn't it?

Would you like to fill in the blanks for me?

while you're at it you could also ask him where he got 76ers -2.5 -105 at because unless he bet the opener at Pinnacle for the 15 minutes it was at 2.5 

02/05 12:31 PM+3 -105-3 -105
02/05 12:16 PM+2½ -105-2½ -105







because it's -3 everywhere else you look......... but maybe it's just the hater in me because I'm not up 750 units like these guys who can buy Baltic AND Atlantic Avenue with their money and I have to wait 6 weeks just for these bums to cut me a freakin check??!

From another thread I gathered, some of these guys label 1 unit as a single dollar, so they say "450 units to win 410 units" which makes sense to his financials, but still... so really, their units have no consistent percentage value to their entire bankroll.  Would make more sense to label "risking 450 dollars to win 410 dollars" or "up 750 DOLLARS" not units.

It doesn't matter, you define "unit" differently than I do, that's all.
