This is not measurable when comparing dollars won or the correct number of picks. Every bettor has a different mindset for placing bets.Ĭomparing records with betting units gives a better view of who is more effective over the course of the season. Also, and more importantly, they keep your betting success tracked. Measuring size and winnings in betting units instead of dollar signs helps you compare your record against other bettors. You’d have 100 units to wager on the season. If you want to bet 1% of your bankroll on each bet you take, your unit size is a $10 bet. Say the amount of dollars you’re willing to bet for the NFL season is $1,000. Those who like to take risks will have larger betting units than those with a lesser love for risks. The percentage is up to you and whether you’re a risk-taker or a conservative bettor.
