      a lot of bettors don't know what a dime really means but you still can connect with what they are doing if they are honest in their bets....1 unit to 15 units doesn't really matter how much we consider a unit to mean....a 15 unit bet if it's for real would be someone who really believes in that pick, even if it's only $10 a unit...I would know that normally he bets $10 but this time $150....

              But your right if someone says they bet 15 dimes and are now up $300....that is someone who doesn't get it...but I would forget about how much is won and try to focus on the belief or strength of the selection....

                But yes...people should understand that if they bet $100 a unit it takes a 10 unit bet to throw out "I'm betting a dime on this game"....I get what you're saying
