    What % of your roll should be your unit size?

    I am trying to settle in on a set unit amount. What % would you recommend? Needs to be low risk as losing the roll would be crushing. Do you think 1.5 % is too high? So risking 1.65% to win 1.5% per unit (based on -110)?

    Fwiw someone who expects to win between 53.0% and 53.5% of side/total bets would be betting to win around 2% each bet on average according to Kelly Criterion.

    For 99.9% of all bettors, betting 0.0% of your bankroll per bet is optimal.
