While the flashing lights of the casino floor attract millions, sports betting has exploded into a massive global industry.

You can be the greatest sports analyst in the world, capable of predicting upsets perfectly, and still go completely broke.

The Concept of the 'Unit'

A 'unit' is simply a standard percentage of your total starting bankroll, usually representing exactly 1% or 2%.

If your total betting bankroll for the NFL season is $1,000, then one unit (1%) is exactly $10.

• A conservative bettor will risk 1% of their bankroll per game, while an aggressive bettor might risk 3%, but almost never more
• Never increase your unit size simply because you are on a winning streak; this is a classic psychological trap called 'overconfidence'
• Conversely, never increase your unit size to 'chase' losses after a bad day; this is the fastest way to bankrupt your account

Navigating the Bookmaker's Advantage

Tracking your bets reveals your true Return on Investment (ROI) and highlights exactly which sports or bet types are draining your funds.

When you bet on a standard point spread, you usually have to risk $110 to win $100 (odds of -110).

Sports betting should be viewed as a slow, methodical grind, not a get-rich-quick scheme.
