This may be the wrong place to post this but I follow a lot of posters in this thread so maybe it is ok.

What exactly is a unit?

So my bankroll is 1000.00. Would it be 2 percent? I'm not really sure how it works.

Also when I make a bet for say 20.00. If I hit the bet it will not be a full unit due to the juice. Do you just calculate in fractions?

It's really whatever you want it too be. Some people do 1 unit = 1% or some just designate an amount to a unit and go from there.

yes you just calculate the fraction. don't forget about the spreadsheet, makes it a lot easier.
