Understanding My Unit System

To help you make the most informed bets and manage your bankroll effectively, I use a unit-based system to rate my MMA picks. This system provides a consistent and flexible framework that can be easily adapted to your personal betting strategy.

What Is a Unit?

A unit represents a specific percentage of your bankroll that you are comfortable risking on a single bet. I recommend that each unit equals 1% of your total bankroll. This approach ensures that you’re never risking too much on any single event and can continue betting sustainably over the long term.

How to Use Units

1. Calculate Your Unit Size: Start by determining your total bankroll. For example, if your bankroll is $1,000, then 1 unit would be 1% of that amount, which equals $10.

2. Follow My Pick Ratings: I rate each pick with a certain number of units based on my confidence level. For instance, if a pick is rated as a 3-unit play and your unit size is $10, you should bet $30 on that pick.

3. Adapt As Needed: As your bankroll changes, adjust your unit size accordingly. For example, if your bankroll increases to $1,500, your new unit size would be $15, maintaining the 1% risk per bet.

Example of Bankroll and Unit Size

Let’s say you start with a bankroll of $2,000. Here’s how you would calculate your unit size and apply it to a bet:

• Bankroll: $2,000

• 1 Unit: 1% of $2,000 = $20

• Bet Recommendation: 2 units

• Wager Amount: 2 units x $20 = $40

Example Calculations for Moneyline Bets

Betting on a Favorite

• Odds: -150

• Wager Amount: $40 (2 units)

If you bet on a favorite and win:

• Profit: $26.67 (1.33 units)

• Outcome: Total bankroll increases to $2,026.67.

Betting on an Underdog

• Odds: +200

• Wager Amount: $60 (3 units)

If you bet on an underdog and win:

• Profit: $120 (6 units)

• Outcome: Total bankroll increases to $2,146.67.

Summary of the Unit System

Using this unit system, you can effectively manage your bankroll and make informed betting decisions that align with your financial strategy and risk tolerance.

Net Gain Calculation

• Starting Bankroll: $2,000

• Ending Bankroll: $2,166.67

Through a combination of winning and losing bets, you can achieve a net gain of $166.67 using the unit-based system. This approach not only helps you manage risk effectively but also allows you to work toward specific profit targets, such as a net profit of $100 over time. Remember, the key to successful betting is consistency and adapting your strategy as needed.

Tips for Successful Betting

• Stick to the Recommended Unit Percentages: Managing your bankroll with proper unit sizing ensures long-term success and minimizes potential losses.

• Avoid Emotional Betting Decisions: Stay disciplined and avoid making bets based on emotion or bias.

• Capitalize on Early Odds: Betting early can sometimes get you better value before the odds shift closer to the event.

• Avoid Chasing Losses: Stick to your strategy and avoid placing bigger bets to recover from a loss.
