A unit is only a certain amount of units of that person's bankroll..
 
In reality, most guys 1 unit bet is 100 $ American money and 2 units 200 bucks.

Im just asking about this because I do what you do but for soccer..

Either way Im happy with you and I thank you again for the time you put into this..

Cheers.


You wager to win whatever your unit is. You don't wager the unit.

When AJ says he bets 2 units, does that mean he bets $2 for that option. and
 
his YTD profit is +111.33, does that mean he's made $111.33 this season to date?

Why do you want to know his personal business?  Do they not teach manners in NZ?

So are you saying that your entire bamkroll goes into 1 game?

Too good? against the royals? What do you base this on? A reasonable ERA spanning 12 innings that has no relevance to current form or rosters? Burress has never beaten KC... i am just trying to see what possible logic causes you to make this statement.

AJ,

I went 3-0 yesterday I took your two early unders and went 2-0 and then I went on my own and put everything on the Yanks and Joba and went 3-0 I taught he was due for a good outing and a win Thanks.

These two factors are both ways to lose all your money extremely quickly. Especially the first one (for obvious reasons). If you're looking at this as a way to actually make money over the long term, for your own sake do not do this.

Congratulations on your win.

It's AJ's thread, he's from Chicago, likes the Bulls and has discussed them in the thread before. I think it's pretty relevant.

Maybe you misunderstood but it was only the days winnings I also pride myself on being somewhat independent and make some of my own bets AJ is not perfect everyday.

 

And I do not always agree on all of his bets last night I also had a great feeling on The Nats and Olsen and I was right but I did not go with it.

I understand your point and advise I am just starting out and trying to add to my current income I am learning a lot from the threads and in the future I will be breaking the books.

 

Thanks and GL
