I like to control the risk to my bankroll, so I bet full or half units (2 or 1 UNIT) risked for the return reduced by the juice I am paying, thus if a -130 favorite I would risk 100 to win 76.92.......
on a +130 dog I would risk 100 to win 130.00
I would factor the probability of the play winning to be either an ACTION PLAY ( 1/4 of a half (1) unit play, or a 1 unit (HALF) or a 2 unit (FULL) unit play
1 unit is the same as HALF, 2 unit is the same as FULL unit, I guess to avoid the confusion I will go to 1 or 2 but the FULL/2 UNIT is currently 4 % BR, but I have a sliding scale that moves the FULL unit from 3.5% to 5 % depending upon how my season is going. I was at 4.2 % after Monday but yesterday knocked me down to 4%, IF I lose again today and tomorrow I will drop again to 3.9 then 3.8 % complicated yes but the key is to protect your bakroll. Those dollars in your bankroll are your employee's you don't want to lay them off (LOSE ALL OF THEM) prior to the end of the season.:nono:
