Handicapping-wise which is more impressive

- Being up 30+ units in baseball playing 2-3/day @ 1-2 units each or

- Being up 100+ units playing 5+ games/day @ 3 - 10 units?

Definatly the first

FairWarning · May 29, 2006

I see a lot of talk back and forth on the different forums about posters up 100+ units. To me, 2 days can wipe that out. I'm not betting 180+ days of baseball to risk that kind of money.

The 1st one easily, but sometimes you have to look a little deeper...I don't think anyone should use more than 1-5 unit ratio, it's very unrealistic to bet 1 unit on a game at 1 pm and then turn around and bet 10 units at 7:30 pm

This year I am trying to play all one unit, maybe 1-2 a week as a 2, and once a month a 3.

Easily the first one. Should change the tracker forum to a 3 unit max. People bet 5 "units" on every single game

Obviously the first is what's desired: as minimal risk to the bankroll as possible....

but it's impressive "continuing the winning ways" with "double the number of plays"

I suspect FW's in the market for a better bankroll progression formula-- in which case this is an interesting product: HMI

Have made 155 single unit plays and 19 2*s for a total of 174 in the baseball this year. Slighty winner to the tune of 1920 YTD with 2 looseing weeks, one of those weeks was less than a unit.
But when the Footsies come in the fall, the college footsies i should say, i step up to the plate with 1-5 unit plays, and the unit amount is twice a much.
But to each their own.

I am have a similar situation I am up 20 units betting 1-3 units each usally 1 or 2 sometimes 3 but that is with a lot of work. If I could be up 100 units betting more per unit over less games I'd take it. Maybe its more impressive record wise to be betting 1-2 units a day over few games and be up 30 units but betting is all about the $$$. Having a nice record is great but if you havent won much money its pointless.
