    Holy shit. I hit a 4 team parlay and a 6 team parlay plus I played each game individually except for KC.

    Then my Thunder capped of a great night with a 10 unit win for me.

    I only have one game going now and it looks like the dodgers are going to be my lone loss tonight. That's ok though because they were added late and weren't involved in any parlays.

    GG you are the ******* man. The only guy on here I tail. I'm up a ton since I started tailing you back during the NBA regular season.

        No doubt. I'm hesitant to continue to tail given how ridiculously hot you've been running, but I felt that way a couple of days ago and would have missed yesterday and today had I stopped. Tailing till the wheels fall off.

        Congrats on an amazing, amazing run. Hope you enjoy your vacation(s), you deserve it. You have my, and many others', eternal thanks for providing your picks and helping everyone make money.

            I have no doubts. I just don't understand how with as many plays as you make per day, how you can have so many units in play. Even if 1* is equal to 1% of your bankroll you still have over 80% of your bankroll in play on some days. But if 1* is less than 1% of your bankroll isn't it kind of misleading for your total units won then. For instance, someone else could have 3% of their bankroll per unit and be only making 1 unit plays and be up 30 units on the year, while your up over 300 units at this point. Obviously, it has no outcome on whether you pick winners or not, so I don't want you to feel like I am trying to start anything. I just think they way you do your units is a bit misleading.

              i still dont understand your question

              i cant control other peoples bankrolls

              as far as my bankroll... I dont use any kind of percentage

              i have money in multiple accts and have credit lines with a couple of locals

              for example today i bet:

              1000 okcity
              800 zona
              800 wsox
              800 tor
              650 bost

              etc etc

              i dont care if im betting 5 % of my bankroll or 80 % of my bankroll

              im sick like that .......i guess

              the only thing i think you may be saying is that you dont believe the units im playing ??

              Regarless if i play $ 10 a unit or $ 100 a unit or $ 1000 a unit personally

              the units posted are the units won on games i posted according to the unit size i allocated to each game

              i know that because i play so many fuking games that its hard for ppl to tail me..especially with big money....but should i change they way i rate or grade my plays because other may not be able to afford it ?

              i dont get it... I still might be missing your point

                OK. Math is not your strong point. You are stating that if its less than 1% per unit he is misleading. This is, to be blunt--stupid.

                You arrive at your unit amount based on your individual bankroll. There are some that have 20-30k and some that have 500. Regardless, how you set your unit amount is what you bet. Say you have $2000 and you make a unit = $3. If he is up 420 units then you multiply 420 x 3 = $1260.

                Your concept that a unit has to equal 1% is incorrect.

                  $Burn$, glad I don't know how the others do it, but it's quite simple for me. The unit amount bet is determined by .5% of bankroll. For example, if you have 1k in your account, it would be safe to play $5 per unit. Furthermore, it's important to know if you bet a favorite the unit amount is to "win", and if it's a dog the unit amount is to "risk". Obviously, the unit amount is different for every player based on bankroll management and some don't use a formula which I don't recommend. GG posted on a thread about ten pages ago...how much he risks per unit posted. The results are pretty damn close, even if my site posts different odds than his. I started two months ago, and I know he won a ton even before I started tracking in detail. MLB: +186.04 NBA +97.60 NHL +12.70 Total $731.64 betting $2.50 a unit. I'll be upgading to $5 a unit once my winnings hit 1k. I hope this is an inspiration to all those even playing small that the grind works. Thanks a bunch, GG!

                    another great night greek, cannot comprehend how u do it, $10/unit for me all I can afford without costing emotional stress and financial.
                    Hopefully you'll continue all the way to the moon. I dont think any capper can win almost 400 mlb units in a decade let alone less than 2 months.

                      Again I like GG and think he's good at what he does. I mean no disrespect to him. But how am I stupid. I just don't think you're understanding what I am trying to say, and I do feel like I am quite good at math I'll have you know. What I am saying is if a unit for him is 1% or greater of his bankroll, then he is risking almost 80% of his entire bankroll per day almost. If that is not the case and his unit is smaller than 1% of his bankroll, than why I am saying it's misleading is because why have multiple 3 unit bets as your base unit (I may be wrong, he may make 1* bets but those seem to be a rarity) when a typical base unit bet is a 1 unit bet. That's what I mean by it seems a total unit is misleading because for every base 1 unit bet that most people make, he is winning 3 units for it making his total number, profit in this case, larger than that it would seem to be. Again, like I said before, it has no importance on picking winners. I'm not trying to start anything, it was just an observation.

                        This is what I mean. GG up 400 units could be considered equivalent to someone up 40 or 50 units overall on the season. Again, I'm just going to restate myself because ik i will get bashed by mulitple people. I have no problem with GG, and what i'm trying to say has no importance on whether he is picking winners or not, which he is. This is just why I say it's misleading. (Also, being up 40 or 50 units would be an outstanding thing either way, so no harm done).

                          Definitely a smart way to go. Reminds me of starting the poker grind in small stakes and trying to build the roll and raise stakes as you go. Keep grinding

                              the % of the unit is arbitrary and based on the individual bankroll. His 8* unit may equal 800 which would make a unit bet for him = 100. However, another person may have $10 per unit so therefore a 8* unit bet by the $10 per unit dude would = $80 instead of $800 like GG but regardless, if the 8* bet wins..the dude who bet $10 per unit is up 8 units or $80. GG would be up $800 because his unit size is bigger.

                              It is units not dollars because everybody's unit amount will be different based on their bankroll. This is not a hard concept to grasp. I am not trying to be rude but I fail to see how you cannot grasp this.

                                I don't understand why people are making this so complicated. I don't bet as much as GG but I tail "most" of his picks and play them according to his number of units.

                                I have adjusted my bankroll in such that I can afford to play all of the plays and not go broke if we have a bad day.

                                One unit does not have to be $100. Stay with in your bank roll. For example, make a unit $20 so a 10 unit play would be $200 and not a $1000.

                                  Best capper on this site hands down. It's not even close.

                                  And that's saying a lot because their are some really good handicappers on here.

                                    Man, do you really not think I don't understand that. I am just going to stop, because I guess what I am trying to say is to confusing to be able to write lol. I'll try one last time and then i'll stop. Sorry for cluttering your thread GG btw. Ok, what i'm saying is if you look at someone else's thread, lets say NoCoin for example. His base bet amount is 1 unit. The $$ amount of that unit has no meaning in what I am trying to say. When he has a bigger play he may bet 5 units on it. so obviously, 5 multiplied by the 1. What I was referring to GG is that he never bets a 1 unit bet, so his total units up may be more misleading than someone who bets with a base 1 unit bet. Obviously, if he has no bankroll and just bets a randomn amount on games than what I'm trying to say wouldn't make sense at all. So I'm done lol. BOL tomorrow GG

                                        I have adjusted my bankroll in such that I can afford to play all of the plays and not go broke if we have a bad day.

                                        One unit does not have to be $100. Stay with in your bank roll. For example, make a unit $20 so a 10 unit play would be $200 and not a $1000.
                                        This is what I mean, so you lowered what would be a standard 1 unit bet for you. So instead of winning 10 units on a play, you really would be winning 2 units for what your actual 1 unit bet would be. That is what I was meaning by misleading. You lowered what your regular 1 unit bet would be, and are betting an amount that would regularly be a 2 unit bet, but instead is now considered to be a 10 unit bet. So in reality, are you really up 300 units from what you started or a number more around like 40 or 50?

                                              Ahhh, I see what you're saying. You are correct. I would be like 40-50 $100 units. That being said, my bankroll isn't as big as most people here and I have never considering 1 unit for me to be $100. Just because GG plays one unit at $100, it doesn't mean everyone else has to. I would assume most people that tail would be smart and adjust their unit size accordingly. You don't want to get burried when you have a bad day or two because it happens. If you set up your bankroll wisely you can grind out profit.

                                              I started my units out small and have slowly increased the size as my bankroll increases. Likewise, if we have a few bad days, I cut down the unit size. Each day is really based on my big my bankroll is.

                                              Quite honestly, I don't care about total units won, I care about total money won. I keep seeing profit so I'm happy with how I manage things. How others want to manage things is their own business.

                                              I have watched some other so called good cappers on here and none of them have been as consistent as this guy. I don't blindly tail all of his plays either. If I disagree with a play, I just don't play it but that doesn't happen too often.

                                                1 unit = 1 unit, bottom line. It's up to you what % of your bankroll you assign to 1 unit. If you feel the need to compare units won between 2 cappers, just use your personal % you assign to each unit you use for each as the ratio. Beyond me why you'd care. All I care about is seeing my bankroll grow, not worrying about comparing cappers on the forum. Seems stupid and a waste of time to me. And certainly not the cappers responsibility for how others use his plays. Just figure out how you can adjust to the capper to feel comfortable, not the other way around.

                                                    Maybe it is misleading to some of the younger or stupider posters/bettors, but the way GG places his bets, it is clear he doesn't assign 1% or even .5% of his bankroll to his *. He rates his plays and is very successful.

                                                      sorry big tough guy shogun rua....ur just so damn sharp....

                                                      the reason i brought it up is because lets say a sharp guy like you is betting 10$ a unit. And you know, since ur sharp your up like 20 units. Then you think hmm, if I lower my unit size to say 2$ per unit, and then bet 5 units on the game and win ill be risking the same amount, my units won will look a whole lot better if i'm up 100 units than 20..i was wondering why GG wouldn't change his usual bets to a typical one star because he bets like 10* and 20* so often and rarely ever a 1*, because when someone says wow GG's up like 400 units it could be a bit more misleading because how other people setup there units it would only be like 40-50 units....that's the only reason why i said it..you can fuk off.

                                                        Think how annoying it would be for him to post up his * in decimals. He bets a certain amount and puts his bets up in terms of *s. He has 10 and 20* bets pretty regularly. It would be pretty stupid to think he has 20% of his bankroll on a single bet. This is just how he does it. It is certainly silly to think that he is up over 300x in this thread (assuming his * = 1% or even .5% of his bankroll), but it is pretty easy to see this isn't how he does it. It's just his way of rating his plays. BTW, when he loses, he updates his record the same way. He has had very bad days where he updates his losings the same way he has updated his big winnings like he has since the start of the MLB season. I don't think he is trying to mislead anyone. I wasn't trying to start an argument with you...but to come in here and say he is misleading is a little bit ridiculous. Good luck to you in your future bets.

                                                            It isnt misleading, because the opposite side is: If he bets these huge unit amounts and goes on a bad streak, he could be down massive units real quick. Goes both ways. Either way, he wins. Thats all that matters. Good shizz.

                                                              You're doing a great job gg. Like I said some time ago, I stopped betting baseball except for the occasional wager.
                                                              I still like following your thread though and a couple of others in the baseball section.
                                                              I think maybe what you said above would help some people that aren't familiar with your style or the way you think things out. If you're usual play is 3* for example and you post a play that's 8*, 10* or 20* then obviously you believe it more and have more at risk.
                                                              Still you post your plays and obviously you're doing a great job.

I am just going to stop, because I guess what I am trying to say is to confusing to be able to write lol. I'll try one last time and then i'll stop. Sorry for cluttering your thread GG btw. Ok, what i'm saying is if you look at someone else's thread, lets say NoCoin for example. His base bet amount is 1 unit. The $$ amount of that unit has no meaning in what I am trying to say. When he has a bigger play he may bet 5 units on it. so obviously, 5 multiplied by the 1. What I was referring to GG is that he never bets a 1 unit bet, so his total units up may be more misleading than someone who bets with a base 1 unit bet. Obviously, if he has no bankroll and just bets a randomn amount on games than what I'm trying to say wouldn't make sense at all. So I'm done lol. BOL tomorrow GG
