Gambling F.A.Q.
The most common questions I always get when talking about gambling are:
“What is a unit?”
So, a unit is what you risk on a game you would bet on.
“How much is a unit worth?”
This is different for everyone. The best way I can start to describe it is, you decide what you are okay with losing in one calendar year on gambling.
For this example let’s say that is $1,000. Split your $1,000 dollars into 100 Units (100 units is always your bankroll).
Now, by simple division, we know that 1 Unit would equal $10 here. ($1,000 ÷ 100 Units = $10 per Unit)
“How much should you risk on a bet?”
This is all personal, but most people agree with a common bet you go with 1 Unit. If I think a bet is an absolute lock, the most I go with is 3 Units. Some people are comfortable risking 5 Units on a bet, but just not my speed.
“Are you actually risking your own money”
Yep, and sometimes I get ice cold to the point you may feel bad. Please don’t. Instead, I would like you to let me know how terrible of a gambler I really am. (You can find my awful seasoned gambling history recorded on the Action Network here)
