As long as he lists the line on the game next to his unit amount then it is assumed. Anyone who understands spreads knows that a 3 unit play at -150 is risking 4.50. Why would you care how he wants to phrase it.
I wasn't objecting to the nomenclature of the betting scheme (i.e. referring to units to be won instead of units risked) . It isn't mathematically optimal, but everyone has the right to manage their bets anyway they want.
My objection was to the phrase by
... especially considering no plays over 3 units.
which is misleading to say the least.
My point is twofold, even through BucsFan's record is very impressive, he regularly risks way more than 3 units on many plays and over 5 units on the highly correlated ML and runline bets on the same team. Nothing is wrong with that, but his return on investment is measured using units won/units wagered and not the "shorthand units to win".
