    When you play a ML fav, you have to risk enough to win one unit, not risk one unit. For example, your Pitt -180 should be risking 1.8u to win 1u. For a ML dog, like +150, you would risk 1u to win 1.5u. Also, leave out the dollar amounts, how much you're personally betting isn't relevant to your record, that's why we use units.

    Let me know if you have any questions. I appreciate the effort in trying to follow the guidelines.

    even then it would be 100/55.
    where does 100/159 come from

    He has to change it to conform to the guidelines anyway, so let's not get bogged down in what he posted.

    Then (using the guidelines) you would have risked 1.55u to win 1u on Philly and 1.9u to win 1u on LA, making you +2u for the season. Make sense now?
