Question Flat bets or different units

Is there an advantage to place all games for the same amount?

Is it better to mix up your units?

As far as mathamatics go - which way will give you the better chance of doing well?

Thoughts?

I would have to say for myself, it is better to Mix up your units. I know I cant call 65% of my games. Calling 55% of your games at the same wager just gets you back to even. But when you mix up your units you can go 45-55 and still end the season + units. If I never changed my unit bet there would be to much going agianst me to make $$$. Although I do hope one day I can get to the point of calling games at 65%. When I do, I still would vary my wager amounts though.

If you play multiple plays a day then you should flat bet. If you play one to two plays a day that don't conflict then 1% to 2% of your bankroll.

10 times a month a game may stand out and I'll double up, but to me one game doesn't and/or shouldn't stand out more than another, if you're betting 2-4 games a day.


Must my 2 cents.
