Quick update:
Today: 0-1 -1.0
There was an error in my overall record:
YTD:
MLB record 17-13 +4.58
Units risked: 28.0
Net ratio: +0.164 *
------------------------
Sides: 10-10 +1.03
Totals 7-3 +3.55
*I'm gonna use this "net ratio" thing from now on. In bases, as you all know, the % doesn't mean anything, and the net amount of units won never really shows how good a capper is since many people will play somtething like "2+ units" as a standard play.
Many people like to use the term "1 unit" to designate 100$. I actually am wondering if this wasn't the original definition.. Anyways... Personally, I don't like the idea to calculate it this way as I prefer to use the concept of "1 unit" as a "standard bet". In other words, Someone who shows a net profit of +10 units based on 2 units a play is just as good as someone showing a net profit of +5 based on 1 unit a play.
A good way to generalize the whole thing is to divide the amount of units won/lost by the amount of units risked. I don't know if there's allready a term existing for that, but if there is, I don't know it, so I'll use the term "net ratio" until someone tells me the correct term (if there's one). My goal is to keep my net ratio around +0.05. Right now it's a bit above that but I've only made 30 plays so far this year. So not that significant. Could drop down to 0 in only one bad day.
I'd bet that nobody gives a crap about that "net ratio" thing but it does matter to me so just wanted to explain the reason why I'm going to include this in my record from now on.
