Craig I'm not posting baseball picks, but I am trying to follow what others are posting while learning to bet baseball well.

I'm not sure I understand how you are asking him to record his record, and would like to understand. If you don't mind (or someone else can answer) I'll give a fake sample of 10 games below and tell me how the record should be listed.
All bets equal units:

Red Sox -140 Loss
Yankees -180 Loss
Royals +280 Win
Red Sox -110 Win (2.2 units)
Nationals +135 WIN
Braves -115 Win
Cardinals +107 LOSS
Royals +300 Loss
Astros -220 LOSS
Mariners +130 (2 units) Win

How should these results list as a record? Once I see it I should understand, thanks.

Okay, I will do this for you, but somebody has to write a better explanation in the FAQ for me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] : We wll assume that you sometimes bet two units on a game and you put that in the post as well. I changed the above on two games just to show you.

YTD: 5-5 +1.87 units (weighted record: +2.27 units)

The reason other sites and 2+2 are doing this now is that record is very misleading in games with ML and a weighted record can be deceiving, since somebody can make a 10 unit bet to get out of the hole. If I am new at this and want to follow somebody's picks for fun and I see "how much" they "won", then I could easily be fooled if that is all I looked at (especially if someone said it isn't W/L record in baseball and that is all I heard).
