    thanks bigredthumbs_up

    Sparty had a good run, felt lucky to just get to OT and then the missed free throws an_brick Its like last 3 possessions were what did Izzo in.  KST deserved that win the whole way.  

    Tuesday NIT - Utah Valley +1.5 now and if ML goes up more than +105 than thats my play.

    I need some input on the posters who post records with UNITS.  Specifically, when units are Moneyline plays.  What would a 10x UNIT Moneyline play cost to wager at -130?

    I would understand that if no money value is posted on said Moneyline UNIT play, it should just be basic math.  So I would like some input here if anyone would partake.

    Unlike Golf which is an honest game, we have MLB starting next week and that's a lot of this kind of bet.  Let's say the Moneyline was -130 and poster says 2 UNIT.  That should be 260 to win 200 or a multiple of said UNIT....65 to win 50 or 650 to win 500.

    It's like the juice just vanished in thin air or into the code vortex. 

    Understand that I hold all of you to the highest respect but sometimes I get this confused when it doesn't add up.

    i always post my units to win. so let's say creighton -130 (2u). i would be risking 2.6 to win back 2. that's why i track units. most won't, like you mentioned, specifically for mlb. they'll buy points on totals and spreads and not count it. or some have fallen into the habit of buying out, which i don't really understand unless there's an injury. you're probably only going to find a handful of people that are accountable for their record, so even bringing this up is kinda wasting your breathe

    No team is as good as it looks when winning nor are they as bad as they look when losing

    i always post my units to win. so let's say creighton -130 (2u). i would be risking 2.6 to win back 2. that's why i track units. most won't, like you mentioned, specifically for mlb. they'll buy points on totals and spreads and not count it. or some have fallen into the habit of buying out, which i don't really understand unless there's an injury. you're probably only going to find a handful of people that are accountable for their record, so even bringing this up is kinda wasting your breathe

     Depends if its 'to risk/bet' or 'to win'

     

    Like odb said he is a 'to win' guy so he risks what it takes to win 1 unit. Like he said risks 260 to win 200

     

    I am a 'to risk' bettor...I always 'risk/bet' the same amount no matter the juice and the payback is the payback. In your 2 unit example i risk 200 to win 153.85....I guess I just prefer keeping the loss amounts at consistent numbers and the payback number is what it is

     

     

    Also a unit can be any number like u alluded too. It is just your common bet size. I kinda like a quarter unit, half unit, 3/4 unit, 1 unit or full unit....that can also be represented by 1 unit 2 unit 3 unit 4 unit...or 1 star 2 star 3 star 4 star...same 4:1 ratio....

     

    Also people do 5:1 ratio and 10:1 ratio...they are both very common and some 100:1 ratio folks out there

     

    One issue I  find as you stretch your bet amounts, you expose yourself to more risk in properly identifying the plays to risk/bet more units...
