Excessive unit-size wagers (100+ units) should be prohibited in forum pick threads at BMR going forward

[stormtrooper8]

Other forums have followed similar protocol.

It doesn't matter what your true bet size is or if you post tickets, etc.

The amount of units on a bet are never meant to be excessive, hence we form our average bet sizes to units. Could be $10, $100, $1000, etc.

Making absurd unit-size bets to try and right a wrong/excessively chase and make your record look is is very scam-like and defeats the point of having units in the first place

So I think BMR should monitor this better to prevent posters from deceiving people and trying to make their record appear better than it actually is. Even when you're getting past 25 or so units you are arguably going too far IMO

Just my two cents, and I know I'm far from alone in this sentiment

If they are actually making that size wager then what's the difference? If I bet a game for $10 I'll say it. If I'm betting for $100 I'll say it

For some weird odd reason people like to fabricate how much they are betting. It is something I truly can't comprehend. I personally could care less who wins or who loses and how much someone bets. It means absolutely nothing to me. I think there should be some sort of brain studies with real diagnosis about why people need to lie about what they bet. I truly don't get it, is it to "try" to impress other posters? It is bizarre to me.

If you have a routine of betting a certain amount then suddenly increase that amount 50x, 100x, 200x etc after a losing streak then it’s pretty clear you are air mailing

Also if you go from $10 bets to like $2000 or $3000 on the same type of event, then your unit size should be higher

The whole point of a unit is describing a typical bet that can be used for bettors who wager any amount

Understandable

 

[hurryupandbuy]

it shouldn’t be allowed, I have been stalked and harassed over my tracking threads for years over the smallest variance in bet size or unit results, only frauds lie about their unit size

Yep very obvious sign of fraud

No clue why people do it

 

[samsncharge99]

i follow this rule to a tee. Every bet is risking 100 or to win 100

for better or for worse, my record and units is 100% accurate

you have always maintained accurate records, @carolinakid also bets honest, many others do not

They won’t chime in lol

Posting odds should always be mandatory as well in a tracker thread for very obvious reasons

Unfortunately that unwritten rule has also been broken here in tandem with the unit rule

without odds the bet doesn’t exist

 

[stormtrooper8]

Yep

Example:

"Padres 20k" as the whole post shouldn't count , real or not

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

So what should the penalty be?

Gotta void the wagers on their record

Serial abusers gotta get the boot IMO
