What is the general consensus of the definition of a unit? I believe most people consider it your minimum bet, thus if you are spreading $5-$50 your unit is $5.
An alternative approach that I use for myself is to consider a unit to be what I bet at my minimum advantage (positive EV), thus although I have a spread of $5-$50, I would bet $10 at the first count with a positve EV, thus $10 is my unit. So the way I look at it, I spread from .5 units to 5 units, same 10-1 spread.
It doesn't really matter what one you use, but as I read posts, and people speak of units, is it universally agreed that a unit is your absolute minimum bet?
Thanks.
