A unit is something different to everyone. It is based on what they ate comfortable betting or for most it is a % of their bankroll
Some bet a fixed amount every game like you mentioned $50. That would be your unit.
To me a unit should be a fixed % of your bankroll anywhere from 0.5 to 1%. If you had a 1,000 bankroll then your unit of 1% would be $10. If you wanted to put 3 units on a game then you would pit $30 on that game.
If your goal is to just have some fun while you learn the ropes, then I would keep your bet size small. I'd say closer to .5% of your bankroll. The goal should be to never reload, even while you are gaining knowledge.
I would suggest flat betting until you learn for yourself which situations are good or bad betting spots. Flat betting is risking the same amount on every game no matter what. It takes the emotion out of how much to play on a game.
