I think most people use 1%, so your unit size would be $200. A lot of people don't follow the 1% though, including non-touts. A lot of people just define their unit size as X. This discussion used to always come up in the threads years ago. Saying someone is up _______ units really meant jackshit as everyone defines it differently. I know for a fact a lot of people never even define their bankroll. So how the hell can they come up with 1%? They don't, they just pick a #. Your # does seem low though.
It does seem realistic that many people don't have a defined bankroll. As you say I assume many people just define their unit size as "X".
Just my opinion but if you don't have a defined bankroll and choose a somewhat arbitrary unit size it would make sense to make that unit size $ 100 as that is what correlates to ML bets anyway.
I don't really think unit sizing is the real issue here however. The real issue is just being honest about your results. I don't really give a flying fuck if people think I am cool on here cuz I made money. I lost most of my roll a few months ago of 4-5k and its not a big deal. I will reload and keep betting to have fun.
The problem is when people manipulate their results to look better than they actually are. While normal people do this to some extent touts excel in this regard because they have the extra motivation of needing to look good to continue making money off subs.
Notice how nobody argues about the results of any other of the regs. Somehow MMAGF is always in the centre of this kaka controversy. Why do his results matter so much....? I dunno maybe there is an ulterior motive that requires him to prove how good he is doing.
