Thanks

In short this means money.

Each caper has it's own style of putting bets.
For example
My bets for today are
Bulls 3 units to win 3,45 units
Lakers 1 unit to win 1,3 units
KC 1,5 units to win 2,6 units

As you can see must powerful bet are Bulls because I'm risking more units than the other two.
Also 1 unit can mean 100$ ...
Like I said you must get familiar with the caper style of posting.

Correct. So if you're wagering $11 to win $10, you're risking 1.1 units to win 1. Most people wager to win a similar amount over the course of a season, so saying "units" is a translation for that amount.

Your unit should = what you bet to win if your bets is to win a $10,$100,$1,000,ETC. well then you are risking 1.1 units to win 1 unit this way you keep your $ business to yourself

Each individual's unit size would, of course, differ.

Someone with a bankroll of $100,000 might consider 1% ($1,000) as 1 unit, whereas
somone with a bankroll of $1,000 would realistically work with 5% ($50) as being one unit.

Expressing bet size in terms of the number of units is simply advising how strong a bet it is for him/her.
