If everyone used a unit scale, then there would be no problems.

A unit scale is a favorite is to lay and a dog is to win. Doesnt matter how much your units are worth.

Say you bet 3 games and went 2-1

Washington -120 for 2 units (won) +2 units (doesnt come into effect if you win) it is just 2 units even though you layed 2.4 to win 2

Dallas +130 for 2 units (won) +2.6 Units 1.3 x 2 = 2.6

Cincinatti -150 for 2 units (lost) -3 Units 1.5 x 2 = 3

You won 2* + 2.6* = 4.6*

You lost 3*

4.6* - 3* = +1.6*

So you won +1.6 units on these bets

It is common sense really, you round of the moneylines to units ex. -160 = 1.6
