    What unit method do you use to bet?
    Is it not better to bet the same amount for every bet for example............

    Always betting $50 on whatever the bet is instead of betting to win $50......

    So if the line is -150 you bet $50 to win $33.33 instead of betting $75 to win $50.

    no you should bet to win the same amount. Bet $25 to win 50 or $100 to win 50.

        I vary my bets according to EV.

        I never understood flat betting but I know nothing about gambling.

              bet based on a per unit system. Based on your confidence in the wager increase your to win unit amount. Betting the same amount of every wager will get yo eventually cuz of the juice. You can have a winning record and still be losing $ because of juice I guess betting flat on + even could be an exception if you are consistantly winning but rarely will this happen.

                Quoted for truthfulness - take a look at my record for an example

                  If I'm betting a favorite, I wager to win 1 unit. If I'm betting a dog, I wager 1 unit to win whatever it pays out. This may change tho since I'm about to try a new mm system.
