Tracker Forum Question...

Iceman · May 15, 2006

Can you bet 1.5 units on games as long as you keep accurate records?

I am using this tracker forum to keep track of my HANDICAPPED plays and want to raise my unit size from 1 units to 1.5 units. Don't have the guts to go to a full 2 units yet. Can I do this For example a +125 dog wuld like like this Detroit -150/+187

Not 100% certain, but I do not believe so ICE MAN.

Put it this way, have never seen anybody do so.

Plus this would open a can of worms possibly with posters placing wagers for 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9, etc., etc.

Like I said, never seen it done and don't believe it can be.....but not certain.

I for one would vote it just being 1-5 with WHOLE numbers.

see rule #5

Rules and Regulations:

#1. You must have 300 posts to be eligible. Picks are limited to full games only no halves, quarters or props etc.

#2. You must grade your picks and post your updated record after each day before posting your next picks -Note - no one has to pick everyday. (If you choose not to post a pick on any given day no action is required in you're thread.)

#3. The tracking folder is strictly for posting picks, nothing else. Only the capper may post in his or her personal thread for each sport.

#4. You must use WIDELY AVAILABLE lines at the time of posting. No locals will be accepted as line sources. Any line used must be displayed on Rx. live lines by at least one live lines book at the time the pick is posted. Please post at least one book from Rx. Live Lines or other top tier book as the source of you're line with each pick

#5. You must give a unit value on all selections, please use unit systems of 1 thru 5 units per pick with 5 being the highest (naturally.) Please post your profit/loss in dollars not units after grading and posting your YTD (year to date) record.

#6. You will use the same thread each and every day by sport, so it will be easy to find and easily checked for any errors. When you grade a pick please include juice - plus or minus - in your year to date record. For the sake of the Tracker Thread all units will be $100 (not counting juice.)

#7. For each sport you must use a separate thread; NBA, MLB, College Hoops, etc. Any capper posting picks in the (so-called) Global sports like tennis, soccer, golf, auto racing, etc. can combine them in a single Global sports thread. Only the major sports need to have their own separate threads for each capper.

#8. There will be no editing; if something needs to be edited please ask a moderator. Post your changes in the “Please Edit Thread” with an explanation of what you need edited and why. A mod will take care of it as soon as possible.

#9. You will be required to keep an honest record with updates that will be monitored by Mods and fellow posters, anyone who is suspected of padding their record or does not follow the guidelines set forth will be asked to leave the record tracking folder. The entire moderating staff, not any single moderator, will make rulings.

#10. Please remember this forum is soley to keep track of picks, year to date records, and plus or minus profits by cappers in each individual sport. The Rx. wishes to keep all dialogue such as write-ups, discussions, criticisms, congratulations etc. in the sport forums. Only the original poster may post in his thread (Mods may edit or comment when appropriate.) Save congratulations or other comments for the sport forums.

Example: Wilheim's NCAA Basketball Capping Thread:

The poster's name date and time of post - plus post count will be automatically included in each post by the website software.

Year to Date 2-2-0 + 1 unit Profit + $80

Today's Pick: Duke -4 (-110) 2 units - 220/200 (Line available at CRIS-Rio-MyBookie.)

Uconn –8.5 (-104) 1 Unit - 104/100 (Pinnacle)

Please denote what sport you are picking from in thread topic.
Please use normal #2 font size in all posts.

I think I've done it a few times before, also think Dub may have with parlays for less than 1 unit. Personally I don't see a problem with halves, if the money is right, but I'll stick to whole numbers if desired.

Units

The real problem with exotic unit betting is verifiying them by the mod involved (Robfunk). We have to trust players to keep their own records but at times they need to be double checked. The rules were set up to keep everyone on a level playing field when to comes to posted records with a standard unit value (1 thru 5) to be used by all posters.

Essentially so lurkers could see which posters were earning units based on set values.

Rob works a little later in the day maybe he will add some feedback.
