When someone says they're 128-99 for +3,126 units in the MLB this year, what does the unit part mean? Say I bet $5 on each one of their plays, and $5 is 1 unit for me. I know I'm not 3,126 X $5 ahead (what, that's be $15,000+). So, how much ahead would I be then?
Also, I just can figure out 0.96 WHIP.
This is a sweet sight with some great picks. Out of 15 parlays, I've nailed one that paid 12:1, and three that paid about 7:1. Thanks you for all the work you guys do to get those picks up. It makes the MLB a lot more fun to follow.

Welcome to the site.
For your first question, being ahead 3126 units simply means that based on the wagers made and the amount wagered that is the profit this person is claiming.
You can't really insert a $5 unit =? at this point because I don't know what any of the wagers were or how they were ranked. You also can't really figure it out by record of 128-99 either for the same reason.
I'm not a huge baseball guy so maybe someone else here will be able to explain your WHIP question.
that record = 's 56%
a nice % for an entire season, but how profitable it is/was depends on other factors, such as the lines, especially in MLB, with money lines.
Using mostly dogs, it would be very nice.
Using mostly favs it would probably be a losing effort.
As for units, to have that kind of number, +3126, off of that record, would mean betting varied amounts, such as X units on some games, xx on others, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on others, which most pros would advise newbies against.
Just an opinion, but if anyone tells you they are up over 3,000 units in any sport I would suggest you walk away.
