No, you obviously misunderstood my question. I understand that your units fluctuate week to week, based on the value you find in the game and for situations like recovery.
I wasn't asking how much 1 unit is worth for you, because that really doesn't matter because it differs from gambler to gambler.
*************************************************************************
I am simply asking what is the relationship between 1 unit and your bankroll?
Do you use a constant unit wager throughout the duration of a season? For example do you decide that 1 unit will be 2% of your starting bankroll for the season and then for the duration of the season your unit value remains the same (2% of starting bankroll)?
Or do you breakdown the season into groups, and then readjust the value of 1 unit based on your bankroll at the time?
Or lastly, the least suggested theory, do you wager a fixed % of your bankroll each week. (Meaning your unit size would differ from week to week?
From what I have seen, you seem to put k next to the units, which I am guessing would stand for $1,000. I have seen this quite often on your sheets, so I am taking it that you decide what 1 unit will be at the beginning of the season ($1,000) based on a percentage of your bankroll, and keep this wager consistent throughout the season?
I have not once ever seen you post anything about a bankroll, even if for documentation purposes you make a hypothetical one. If you don't have one, I then would become skeptical of your real money management skills, because that's really the first step for any skilled money management system.
If you do have one, then you should be able to answer my question straightforward by telling me and everyone else what type of system you use, and how 1 unit relates to your bankroll. I don't want to be referred to anything that isn't going to answer my question either.
Without a bankroll, a unit really is worthless because it isn't based on anything, it has no ground to stand on. Without this relationship, +/- total units or all that bull crap mean nothing. Without this relationship, there is no way to accurately determine Return on Initial Investment.
I only ask this question after you wager 36 units on Dallas the other night, because it opened alot of red flags. I will explain more in-depth if anyone wants to hear about it really.
I know this is long, but I think this needs to be brought to the forefront. Not only does this apply to this thread, but to 100% of all other threads that keep track of +/- units without stating a relationship between a unit and bankroll.
You will say that it is left to the better to determine such, but it really isn't. If you are the one to judge the strength of the plays and the value of the bets, then you need to clarify how that relates to wagering units (which you have done here, not in the baseball one though), because you are the one that truly understands the system.
Without this information, your picks are deemed worthless in the long run to the followers. Yeah, yeah I know I will get hater, but please answer my basic question. - Freaky
