Unit size is the standardized amount used to measure stake size relative to a betting bankroll.

It allows consistent comparison of bets regardless of bankroll value.

How it works

• A unit is usually a fixed percentage of the bankroll

• Stakes are expressed in units instead of currency

• Bankroll growth or decline changes the unit value

Example

• Bankroll: $1,000

• 1 unit = 1% = $10

• Bet size: 3 units = $30

Key characteristics

• Supports disciplined bankroll management

• Makes performance tracking easier

• Commonly used by professional bettors and tipsters

Important note
Unit size should remain constant as a percentage, not a fixed cash amount.
