Flat sizing and why we don't chase

Your next bet should not know what your last bet did.

Flat sizing means your unit stays the same from bet to bet. It does not grow after a loss to win it back, and it does not grow after a win because you feel good.

Chasing is the opposite: raising the size to recover a loss.

Example only: you lose 1u. You bet 2u on the next game to get it back. Lose that and you are down 3u, and the next "get it back" bet is 3u. Three ordinary losses just became 6u.

Nothing about the second game got better because the first one lost.

How we handle it:

• The unit is 1% of bankroll and is resized once a month, not after a hot or cold day.
• Size comes from the strength of the play, usually 0.5u to 1.5u. Never from the last result.
• No "make it back" bets. No betting after a bad beat or a big win the same day. We wait for the next slate.

Where it shows up in our plays: the UNITS line. It reflects the read on that game only.

What cuts against it: flat sizing does not make a losing process win. It keeps a bad stretch survivable so the long run has a chance to show.

Takeaway: losses are part of the plan. Chasing them is not.
