In truth, Bob is right... In theory, when a bettor suggests to be a "unit" on a game, a "unit" is equal to a percentage of his betting bankroll. Whether you have chosen to recalcuate that unit thanks to success during the season is up to you. But in theory as you present it, you started off with $10K in your bankroll, betting a $100 unit (in that $100 was 1% of your total account). If this were to hold true and you and all followers were to stay religious to this throughout the course of the season (assuming everyone gets the same numbers, which is impossible in baseball, but you see my point), they would actually have increased their bankroll by 122 units, or $12,200ish dollars. That's the general concept behind a unit. Now if your unit is, for example, 0.5% of your bankroll, that's quite alright as well. It doesn't need to be stated by you and that's your own business (what your "starting bankroll" is).
But in this instance today, you're theoretically betting 7.6% of your approximate bankroll, IF you haven't changed your unit size throughout the season, started with the theoretical 10K bankroll for 1 unit = $100, and have followed your plays religiously...
I, personally don't believe in changing one's unit size once you establish it throughout the course of the season unless things are going incredibly bad (in which case you should probably just stop completely). But there are others who are probably better learned that I am in this area that suggest to recalculate your unit after you increase your bankroll "x"%. But to suggest to bet no more than 5% of your bankroll when you've got one of your "top 5" cards of the year is a wee conservative, especially when theory suggests that you're actually betting 15 units worth of plays and 7.6% of your own theoretical bankroll.
Yes, as proven by Bucs on Saturday, things can go horrifically wrong in a day. I'm not saying that you should drop 100% of your account on these games, but by the way that you are presenting it, a 3 unit play is a 3 unit play is a 3 unit play if that makes sense, and these 6 games should take up nearly 17% of your account if you're starting off today. I know that 17% of the account seems risky, but even 1-5 gets back at worst 2 and change of those % points.
And yes, Jeff Francoeur is a god amongst men and the absolute savior for the Braves outfield this year. Now if the dude can only learn to take a walk every now and again it'd be great. Best of luck today.
