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
Thinking in units keeps strategies comparable whatever your currency.
In practice
Units make strategies comparable across currencies: a “1-unit” bet is ₱50 in the Philippines and ₹100 in India. Most bankroll advice uses units of 1–2% of the session bankroll.
Example
With a ₱5,000 bankroll, a 1% unit is ₱50.
