Net units question
In the real world, in order to bet 500 units (dollars, pennies, donkeys, etc.), you have to have those in your account to bet. In the Covers.com contests, you are not betting units but NET units - the amount to be won if you had actually bet with real world spreads priced in. For example, to bet a -150 favorite, you risk 750 units to win 500. Yes you can lose every game and still keep betting the maximum amounts with a negative balance. Since you are not risking anything real, this is simply a contest to see who can put together the best betting record over time.
