If you have a play on something and later add another unit to the play ( at a different line), should you count it as 2 plays or one ?

One, i believe............but then again, one could lose one and win one.

Interesting

Just thinking out loud, but perhaps as ONE if both have the same result and two if it as two different results?

?????

Perhaps TWO no matter the result could be justified also and perhaps the best avenue.

Good question.

Don't think this will come up often, as most do not put in the same play with two different lines.

In this case same result will occur, so I'll count it however you guys say, it's in my baseball thread.

As long as im rambling, believe the $$$ figure is by far the most important aspect of the tracker fourm, not win/loss figures.

The line improved, so I bet more.

I had one of these and counted it as one play and even with different money lines I just added the two together.

Thats the problem

Somebody could lay -120,-121,-122,-123, -124 for one unit each and win each.

That certainly is not a realistic 5-0.

Perhaps on ML wagers, we could only count it as ONE play..........with spreads involved, TWO.

one play is fine with me, it's units not percentage that matters. I'll combine it unless told otherwise.
