Unit Talk

Im jw how many of u actaully got this money? I see people putting oh 10 unit plays 5 unit play and that, do all of u actually put 1000 on a play? I can see mabey a couple people but atleast everyone does, u guys must be really rich to be layin 1000 on a game. I find it hard to belive some these guys sayin 300on whatever, i play like 5$ games usually sumtimes 10$, 40$ at most, How many of u guys actually got that money to lay? Saw one guys lay like a 500 unit bet....like really? ur putting half a house up on a game.......so is everyone on here rich or what?

Some people are full of shit, some are for real.

Usually if someone has enough posts, it is easy to tell after awhile if they are full of shit.

Me personally.. ive put a grand on a game once.. and i have 300 dollar bets or so once in awhile but not all that often.

So I can see it as believable, but I also can see when people are full of shit and betting with monopoly money as well.

my units are different from year to year. i save up on the off season and it depends on how much i save. the usual amount is around 100 per unit with the max bet being 4-5 units

when I first saw the title of this in the basement section I thought we were all going to start measuring our pricks

Back on topic......

I think that alot of people dont play all the games they post and just do some of this for fun and tracking purposes. I dont play EVERY game I post, but do play the majority tiered on whatever units I put out.

a 10 UNIT game could be $100 for most people and $1000 for some high rollers.

I am far from rich.1 unit in foots is 100 all other sports 50 bucks.So if I put 10 units on something it is a very large bet for me.
