Yeah, no 5 unit plays so far.  My standard play has been 2 units.  But I'm going to start increasing the amount i play on 2H system plays and decrease what i play for some of the 1H sides and FGs.

Please explain to me why people use a unit system. If u win five 1 unit games and lose one 5 unit game, you went 5-1 but lost money. I don't understand.

i use units based on strength of bets.  i'll increase my units when necessary.  if i see a game im really confident in i'll increase my units.  if I hit it, then i'm + alot of money, if i miss it, i have to dig myself out.  its risky.......but thats gambling isn't it ?

Sometimes you just want action or want to place a homer bet.

I put a half-unit on a bet that I like but my gut says be careful. Or on a bet that I'm tailing. I never tail for more than a half-unit. My bigger units are saved for a pick that I've liked and all angles that I've looked at are pointing to said pick.

I am not bashing, just wondering. It will never make sense to me. When I make bigger bets I seem to lose more money. When I keep them all my bets the same I always make money. Yesterday I increased alot of my bets and lost.

They finally fixed the lines IMO.  Korea was +190 and +300 in their last two vs. Japan.  When these two teams face off, Korea should never be more than +150 and the O/U should never be higher than 8.

Unfortunately, I think my beloved Korean team goes down.  Darvish is a freak.  They will have a hard time scoring unless they get lucky and then will have their backs up against the wall.  But no way in hell am I betting against them esp when I have to pay all that juice.

No matter what I have in my account I will usually take 3% and make that my wager limit. That way I can make up to 33 bets at a time and always have money to play with.
I opened an online account with $2000. I started with 60 dollar bets and it has gradually increased to making $300-500 bets. It took a couple months to get there and a couple of lucky ass 5 teamers but I got there. I will always have money in the account. I talk to people at work who deposit 100 bucks and use it to bet on 1 or 2 games. They lose it right away. If you are paitent, follow the rightr people(like Joe) you will make some mother fuckin dough!!!

It is, but Japan is more than capable of putting up runs.  Korea's pitching is their strength.  Both these teams know each other VERY well.  This is their 5th meeting in the WBC.
