    CVData Unit size for side bets

    Hi I'm running some sims on a side bet and I just want to make sure I'm understanding the results correctly.

    Is the default unit size for CVData results (when it gives the summary, etc.) a $10 unit? or a $5 unit. I assume there has to be a unit size since there are figures given in dollars.

    Also, is the bet used in the side bets window a multiple of this unit size? For example if I set bet to 1 @ +7 (without checking the '<' box) then the bet will be $10 (or $5, whatever the unit size is). Is this the case?

    Last question, probably doesn't need to be answered, but while I'm at it: if I set the beting strategy to bet multiple hands at a certain count will the side count be bet on every hand? I'd think it would, but just double checking.

    Thanks in advance for responses

    Instead of starting an apology thread, I hope it's not inappropriate to make my apology here. Sorry for asking questions I could easy find the answer to myself. I'm lazy, it has always been a weakness of mine.

    Turns out CVData actually tells you and lets you set the unit size on one of the pages (the betting page iirc).

    When it came to understanding how the side bet betting worked turns out that those books I received in the mail a week or two ago (Not free copies of the Fletcher Formula as I had hoped for unfortunately) gave me the answer

    Note: The Side Bet amount is a multiplier if Fixed Bet is OFF. 1.0 means that your side bet is the same as your main bet. 2.0 means the side bet is twice the main bet. if Fixed Bet is ON, the side bet is the number of units specified.
    My last question is still outstanding, however I'm pretty sure of the answer. Any extra confirmation would be appreciated.

    Sorry again for flooding the forum with easily find-able answers. Hopefully this post helps a lazy software user like myself.

    Yep.
