What is a betting unit?
A standard bet size, usually a fixed percentage of your bankroll, used to describe strategies and progressions. Martingale doubles units after losses; D'Alembert adds one unit.

Why it matters
Ghana example: on a GH₵40 bet, a 1.50x cash out pays GH₵60. See the term in action in our Aviator Ghana guide.
Thinking in units keeps strategies comparable whatever your currency.
In practice
Units make strategies comparable across currencies: a “1-unit” bet is GH₵2 in one market and ₦400 in another. Most bankroll advice uses units of 1–2% of the session bankroll.
Example
With a GH₵400 bankroll, a 1% unit is GH₵4.
