the real strength of having standard units for a rec is it prevents them from monkey tilting where they bet $50 here and there but then just yolo 2k so that yolo goes from whatever money happened to be in your account to you saying "i really like this i'll bet 2 units intead of 1" and you put in more reasonable $100 wager on it
Ya I agree with alot of what you said here Rickroll. Keeping betting units in mind will definitely stop you from max betting your balance because you are chasing or being impulsive. I didn't use the betting unit concept too much lately, but have done so more recently. Ya I agree the biggest benefit to keeping those amounts in mind is that it allows you to be more consistent with your bet sizes, and have to think less about how much to bet.
I recently wrote out amounts for different types of MMA bets I'll make for each event, based on the level of confidence in those, and it really helps to stop me from wasting time figure out how much to bet.
