A unit is a consistent bet size that helps you manage risk and track results. Instead of saying you bet 50 dollars, you say you bet 1 unit.

This keeps betting disciplined.

Why Units Matter


Units keep you from changing bet size based on emotion.
Units make performance comparable across days and sports.
Units make it easier to track ROI.

How to Set a Unit


A common approach is 1 unit equals a small percentage of your bankroll, often 1% to 2%. The goal is consistency, not aggression.

How Rithmm Helps


Rithmm is built around a repeatable process. Use model recommendations to decide what is worth taking, then track bets consistently so your unit sizing and results stay real.
