How do you figure out the units on your record in picking game? And what does units mean?

110-92 all time picking.
+12.85 Units -
well...... my units are based on $100 to win wager. or $110 to win $100
for example if i bet (2units) on a game
that is $220 to win 200
thats how i have always done it.2013 NCAA POD Record
8-3ATS +3.80 units
2013 NFL POD Record
1-2 ATS -4.50 units -
In general 1 unit is about 5% of you bankroll,of course everybody's opinion is different, but this is the rule of thumb i use. So if you win 2 games for one unit (+2 units) and lose a game for 1 unit at -110 (-1.1) then you are +0.9 for the day. Of course depending on how much you like the game you will bet more or less than one unit. Hope this helps.Check out all of my past picks at www.Byeweekpicks.com

You ask a very good question and when I first started gambling I was unaware of this aswell so heres and example:
A unit is always represented as "to win a unit" if you are laying juice (i.e. -130 to win 100) and if its plus money you are just laying 100 to win 120 (+120)....
Heres an example....
You want to put one unit on Minny -130....
1.30 units to win 1.0 unit....
if it wins you gain 1.0 unit and if it loses you lose 1.30 units
You want to put one unit on Denver +120....
1.0 unit to win 1.20 units....
if it wins you gain 1.20 units and if it loses you lose 1.0 units...
If you are putting more than one unit one a game you just multiply everything above by the amount of units....
2 units = 2.60 units to win 2.0 (-130)
or 2.0 units to win 2.40 units (+120)....etc..etc...
Hope this helps!!!Last edited by Chado1; 12-05-2007, 11:08 AM.SOBER SINCE MARCH 28TH OF 2007!!!Comment

I always play everything for $500 unless it wins, then I post later that it was really for $5000. Of course you can try not posting the plays until they are over and then come on and say you were 6-0 for the night. Or try putting up a forged ticket showing you hit a big parlay. Just passing along a few things that work for me.
