Units are one of the main keys to my success. First of all, they allow us to weigh some bets differently than others. I use this to my advantage by maximizing wins / hot streaks, and minimizing losses / cold streaks. Of course, losses are inevitable in this industry. But this makes it so we can go 3-3 on a card, and still make money. (The 3 bets we lose are 1-2 unit plays; the 3 we win are 2-5 unit plays) 

Units also make it possible for our entire team to be up or down the same amount of “units”, even though some of my clients may be betting $20 units and others $100. 

For example, let’s say your unit is $100 and I put out this play:

NEW YORK GIANTS +3.5 (1 unit) 

Since it’s a point spread, the odds will normally be -110. This means you have to RISK $110 to PROFIT $100.  So, since in this example your unit size is $100, you would risk whatever it takes TO PROFIT $100. (NOT the other way around. You don’t RISK what your unit is…you risk what it takes TO PROFIT your unit) 

You would risk $110 to win $100 (1 unit)

The extra you have to risk is basically just the house advantage on any sportsbook, so on a “fair line” you still get slightly less than even payout. Because of this, when we lose a 1 unit risk, we actually lose 1.1 units. (Hence the $110 in the example above) Even though when we win it’s just 1 unit flat. 

For the system to run most effectively, I recommend my clients making their unit 1/50th of their ENTIRE bankroll. I don’t mean what you budget for one week, I’m talking “if you lose this much, you’re DONE sports betting”; that amount is your bankroll. 

For Example: If your bankroll is $5000, your unit size would be $100. So, if I put out this play: 

NORTH CAROLINA -8 (3 units) (-110 payout line)

You would RISK $330 to PROFIT $300, which is 3 units for you. If it was only a 2 unit play, you would RISK $220 to PROFIT $200, which is 2 units for you.
