A unit is a consistent way to record a sport stake. Its purpose is organisation and risk control, not profit prediction.
Start with disposable money only
Create a separate entertainment limit that can be lost without affecting essentials. Do not refill it after a losing session.
Keep the unit fixed
A small fixed unit makes records easier to compare. Raising it after a loss is chasing, not improved analysis.
Record all exposure
Track every single, accumulator and live bet across all accounts. Several small stakes can form a large daily total.
Use stop rules
Stop at the money or time limit, even when the next event appears attractive.
