Perhaps the best way to understand the "units" is just think of a unit as $10. That would be an easy way to grasp it. If you had $100 to bet this past week, and placed $10 or a (unit) on each one of our ten "Black Box" picks you would have won $59.50. Not bad huh? Since week 4, if you had bet $10 or a (unit) on every one of the "Black Box" picks you would now be up +$282.50. The system has had one losing week since week 4.( You will have to trust us on that however, because we only have two weeks of time/date stamped picks made here). SE could get hired in Vegas if his moneyline picks keep hitting the way they are.

Did MJ get you fixed up on that? Basically 1 unit is whatever you care to call it. $1, $10, or in MJ's case a nickel. So you can use the number as a multiplier to your regular bet size which is your unit. Leave Mrs. Gloop out of it. Now, in order to win 1 unit you need to bet 1.1 units. So that is why a loss is recorded at 1.1 units and a win at 1.0 units. Finally, moneyline bets are a multiplier. Falcons +165. That means you bet 1.0 units to win 1.65 units.
