    What is a unit in $$$$ to you??????

    I'm sure for many betters here a unit is $100. Some posters like Brooks, I believe $500 is more a typical unit although I could be wrong. I'd like to hear what an average unit is to you SBR MMA Forum Posters.

    A lot of people won't tell you how much. Many are small timers. Some are not. It depends. If I even mention how much I won or lost, I just paste the ticket from the book. Saves all the guess work. Some people like the infamous "ssk" , use Fantasy units and are just keeping a log of their picks. This is a very good question and I don't know how much of an honest answer you will get.

    I adopt my poker philosophy to sportsbetting. If you want to bet hundreds you must first make the hundreds betting.

    1u=1% of my bank

    for me usually about 50 bucks. I'm small time for now, but once i get my account up to a certain amount, maybe 1000, i start betting 100 a game

    rarely do I put more than 5% on one play. most of the units I attach to my plays are just what I recommend to other people.
