Kansas City Royals @ 2.00 lost. -1U
Under (176.5) @ 1.88 Essendon v Fremantle won +1u
Richmond @ 1.53 won +1u
Chelsea @ 1.50 fa cup lost. -2U
Since in Chelsea's case at 1.50 (-200) is risking 2 units to win 1 unit
Richmond's case (1.53) is -188 or so, so risking 1.88u to win 1u
Ess under, 1.88 is -113 or so, so risking 1.13u to win 1u
Royals is 2.00 (+100) so risking 1u to win 1u
If you bet on let's say Bontorin in the UFC today at 2.40 (one of the underdog bets I made today on diff sport that won) that is +140 so risking 1u to win 1.4u (lose 1u or win 1.4u in this case win 1.4)
It's complicated but generally 'base units' means risking x to win a unit on favs, or risking a unit to win x on underdogs
i sort of get it but I don't get why Chelsea is 2 units
