These are for the guys posting daily picks and whatnot...how many units do you generally start your season with?

i started with only 10 units betting about 3 units a night, we'll see how that goes.

I set aside 30 units for baseball season thinking that while the typical bet is one unit, I will make bets between .5 and 2.5 units. I've never bet pro sports hard, and my expectation and expectations are low. For baseball, I suspect if I knew what I was doing 30 units would be an adequate "playing bankroll" on par with 200 holdem big bets in poker.

Many bettors determine the size of there units based on their bankroll. I consider one unit to be about 5% of my bankroll. It has been good for me, naturally increasing my bets when I'm winning and decreasing them if I'm losing. As my roll grows, I will probably lower this percentage. My goal is to have a large enough bankroll where a 2% unit is a nice payoff. GL.
