Noob question

[JaneFromSpain]

When people talk about units profit / loss what does this mean. Sorry if this is a silly question but I am very new to this and need to learn the lingo, also English is not my mother tongue.

Re: Noob question A unit is just the base amount you are spending on each bet. People tend to use the term units instead of actual monetary amounts for betting because it's easier to understand mathematically and the actual amount you bet is irrellevant for most systems and for betting theory. So if you have a betting bank of 100 Euros and you bet 1% of that one every bet, you could instead say your bank is 100 units and you bet 1 unit per bet. While your friend could have a betting bank of 1000 euros and bet 1% of that on every bet, but still have a bank of 100 units and bet 1 units per bet. You and your friend could directly compare betting results even though he is betting ten times more than you. I'm sure that could be explained better, but English isn't my mother tongue either :D
