    Default question about units

    I never really started to keep track of my picks but would like to do so now, my question is what percentage of your bankroll do you decide 1 unit to be?

    1.5% - 3% is a good spread

    so if my bankroll was 10,000 one unit would be anywhere from 150 to 300 dollars depending on what I choose the percentage to be?

    yes , or you can vary between $150.00 - 300.00 depending on the edge you believe to have on a single wager

    I work with a 5000 and after learning my lesson have never exceeded 50 a unit. I don't think I would do if even if my bankroll was at 10000 (just don't like to log into my account after a bad day and see 10 percent of it gone (of coarse it could go the other way). Wouldn't go over a 100 with 10000 unless you like a lot of risk.
