What is unit size?
Let me explain units in simple terms:
What Are Units?
Units refer to a standardized measurement used in sports betting. Instead of betting a specific dollar amount, you bet a certain number of units.
A unit represents a percentage of your total bankroll. It’s a way to manage risk and keep your betting consistent.
Why Use Units?
Using units allows you to maintain a consistent betting strategy regardless of the actual dollar amount.
It helps you avoid extreme swings by betting a fixed percentage of your bankroll.
How to Determine Unit Size:
Typically, bettors use 1% to 2% of their entire bankroll as one unit.
For example, if your bankroll is $1,000, one unit would be $10 (at 1%) or $20 (at 2%).
Avoid Exceeding Unit Size:
The key is not to exceed your predetermined unit size, even if you’re on a winning streak.
Betting your entire balance hoping for consecutive 100% days is risky. It can lead to significant losses if luck turns against you.
