good stuff brahh... mind explaining "units" and giving your theory on how your using units in this matter? must say pretty solid thus farr brahh
yeah bud... 6 unit system is a system that i was introduced to by a pro capper from Vegas. Very simple. you have a set amount per unit, in my case, I wager $20 per unit. 6 unit = $120. 1 unit = $20. etc. 6 units being your strongest bets and one being your smallest of course.... Most cappers, even the average Joe trys to reach the Crucial mark of 60% BUT if you use a unit system you can still profit from 50% or even a little below 50%! look at it this way, I have 10 bets on the day. I have three bets at 6 units each and win them all. five bets at 3 units and only win two bets, with two bets at one unit losing both3(wins)x6(Units)=18 units2(wins)x3(units)=6 unitsI won 24 units today and only lost 11 units3(loses)x3(units)=-9 units2(loses)x1(units)=-2 unitsI only picked 5 out 0f 10 bets correct today but i am up $230, if i kept all of my units/per game the same, I would be down on the day due to the juice.I can honestly tell you guys that I really want to capp for a living down the future, or if not, at least cap for a sizable income.... I research at least 90 minutes a night on weekdays, and ive been researching up to 4 hours on weekends.... That is where I get my picks and how much i want to lay. I use every factor when choosing a bet, trends/stats/conditions/and many more i cant really think of. I cross refrence websites that are giving out public favorites. I have a list of pro cappers that annalize and break down some games. Some cappers will have "free picks" that they have, these tend to be strong bets, because in the long run that capper wants you to be a client. He will probably give you one of his better bets for that day. Something that you want to conentrate on is trying to put yourself in the shoes of Vegas.... Who do they want the public to bet on and you bet against it (contrarian to a degree) If vegas likes the bet, YOU like the bet!anything else let me know... I am about to post a couple of my picks for today

thanks brahh. one more thing when you post the amount of units your wagering, is that something your making up or a real life bet your putting on some online book? since when you book bets in the thread, 20each would just be 1unit.

Real man.... I use sportsbook.com and bodog mainly. if i get high enough i will probably switch over to Betus.comBetting on FCP is kind of differnt. If i started to bet units here people would probably not be cool with it... and these bets are cutting into my poker BR not my betting BR. understand? Of course i dont want to lose bets on FCP but they are also recreational...Edit: I dont use the unit system on FCP

I don't understand your 6 unit system. I'm guessing that the 6 unit bets have a higher assumed expected value than a 1 unit bet.... am I right? Then why bother with the low unit bets? It seems like it would make more sense to throw out the 1 and 2 unit bets and bet that money on a game where your assumed EV is higher.

6unit bets do have an expected higher value.... when i decide on coming up with a unit for the bet i will look at how far off i think vgas has the line... if I think the line is off by 5 or more points a higher unit bet is coming.... now lets say that a key player is just listed as questionable, vegas doesnt neccesarily change the line too much on small things like this. you gain smaller value in these games. Basically, you still have an edge on the smaller unit bets, but it isnt as big as your 4, 5, and 6 games. Look at the first two days i have posted. Those days would not be any where close to as nice if i just bet everygame at 6 unitswatch today. i am going to have a ton of 2-3 unit bets. sometimes that just happens

I didn't suggest betting every game at 6 units. If what you define as a 6 unit bet has a higher expected value than any other bet, then it doesn't make a lot of sense wasting your bankroll on marginal/slightly profitable bets. I doubt Vegas ever releases a line that is off by more than 5 points from the true line. Obviously it depends on what sport you are talking about but 5 points is huge!

Dear Original Poster (and anyone else who is interested):Please explain the following about your unit system:1) What %age of your bankroll does 1 unit represent?2) Do you up date your unit-size when your bankroll changes as a result of winning and losing? If so, in what manner and how often? If not, why?3) How did you come up with a 1x-6x system? Why do you believe this is optimal?4) Does the number of independent wagers you wish to make at a given time effect the size of each wager? (For example, if you had 7 NFL games to put in -- all of which you liked a lot -- would your average risk be different than if you had 2 NFL wagers that you liked equally as much?)Also:5) What kind of edge you expect you have for a each wager-size? What do you believe is your edge on a 1x wager? a 4x? a 6x?6) Why aren't you playing at Matchbook?Thanks,Tactical Bear

you are right. it doesnt happen a lot compared to the ammount of games that happen on a weekly basis. BUT it does happen, often at that. Vegas has to produce lines for every NBA game, NFL game, NCAAB, NCAAF EVERY DAY... not only are they coming up with the spread, they need to calculate the over/under for all those games as well... it is common to screw up by more then 5 points somewhere. Ill give you an example, The raiders are one of the worst in teh NFL. The public is DUMPING on the raiders not to cover teh spread, well every week there for a while, the raiders were not covering and vegas was getting killed, Vegas basically said **** you when the raiders played the chargers. They told us, you are going to have to take -14 on teh chargers if you want that action.... the raiders took the Chargers to the wire the first meeting and all signs pointeded to a 7 point game here, but vegas doesnt always post predictions, they post what makes them the most money. the public dumped on SD that week and the raiders covered. Vegas cleaned up

I understand the logic of contrarian betting very well. I could be wrong, I just wouldn't think they would have lines more than 5 points off. I guess I was thinking more of basketball when I originally made my post. In football, scores are usually 3 or 7 points so posting a line that is off by more than 5 from the true line would make a little more sense.

quick answers, ive got to run soon.1) originally it was .5% $20 a unit, $4,000 BR2) I will move my amount per unit if i reach BR marks. ive started at $4,000. if i reach $5,000 i might move it up to $25 a unit.... Not actual details, just an example.3) I did not come up with it, I was given it by a Pro Capper. it is his System for all i know.4) No, why would they... Each game is independent from the next. The eagles dont care that i have money on the Knicks game, why would they play any differnt.5) are you looking for an answer that give you my likely Percaentage of winning that wager? dont understand the question6) Ive been there once, (on your advice actually) have not gotten into it yet, something i should look into though big time, thank you.

NCAAF lines can be off... just this last Monday, the true line for that game should have been pitt at +3 not +8.... I and many others saw that before the game even started. Everyone blew out of proportion that Ben was out, moved the line way too high.

First off: no. If lines were regularly off by that much -- seven full points in an NFL game -- and you don't need the benefit of hindsight to see it the smart money would hammer them so hard that the books would get absolutely crushed. These markets aren't efficient, but they're not so inefficient that the books can offer sides with an expected value of, like, +25%. There are people with deep pockets that force sportsbooks to not stray too far out of line with the numbers they post. Secondly, if you are really serious about making money, stop paying -110, and start thinking about what you want to do with your bankroll. I took like 3 seconds and built a little simulation. Here are the results: You're a genius. You pick winners at a 54% clip. 40,000 wagers/simulation. I ran it 5 times at -110: $25/wager, paying -110: $34,892.50 $35,102.50 $31,427.50 $36,887.50 $29,065.00 Average $33,475.00 $/wager $0.84 Then again, except we're now paying -105: -105 $57,512.50 $59,152.50 $56,231.25 $60,433.75 $51,875.00 Average $57,041.00 $/wager $1.43 It's not that hard to pay -105. And it's well worth your time. Then, for funsies, I decided to build another simulation. Instead of betting $25/game, you start with $2500, and each wager is 1% of your bankroll: -110 $28,044.78 $80,187.39 $10,229.35 $6,443.12 $14,019.23 Average $27,784.77 -105$113,421.26 $106,654.14 $115,771.07 $26,448.35 $88,680.38 Average: $90,195.04 Whoops. I forgot to mention something. This one? With the bankroll compounding? I only ran it 6,000 times apiece, as opposed to the 40,000 from the non-compounded sample. The last piece of data: $/wager (-110): $4.63 $/wager (-105): $15.03 There we go. Next time: The Importance of Variance OR Why You Don't Use a 1x-6x Unit System
