Read a tipster’s bet evidence
Why does a public bankroll display stakes in units?
Kalivoa editorial team ·
A unit, written “u”, expresses a stake relative to a reference chosen by the bettor. It lets readers see stake sizes without directly publishing their euro amounts. One unit is not a universal cash amount: its conversion depends on the reference used. It proves neither the bookmaker account balance nor the reliability of a pick.
Why display 1 u instead of a cash amount?
Two people can stake different cash amounts while calling each stake one unit. The public figure provides a relative scale for reading the history. Without the conversion rule, you cannot reconstruct the author’s actual cash stakes.
Units help compare stakes within one history. A 2 u stake is twice a 1 u stake when both entries use the same reference. This does not mean the second bet is twice as likely to win.
How does conversion work?
The conversion is: stake in units = cash stake ÷ cash value of one unit. You need both amounts and a consistent convention.
Educational illustration, not a real slip: if one unit is €20, a €30 stake is 1.5 u. This explains a scale, not a recommended stake or an observation of EGS Betting’s bankroll.
A tool can freeze units when a bet is recorded, then use a separate setting to show a reader’s private cash equivalent. The reader’s personal equivalent does not reveal the author’s actual stake. In Kalivoa, check the settings and proposed units before confirming an import.
In Kalivoa, one unit corresponds to 1% of the bankroll’s reference amount. That amount is a conversion setting; it does not prove the balance available at the bookmaker.
A real public bankroll example
On October 8, 2026, EGS Betting’s public bankroll displayed 26 bets: 25 settled and one pending. Its certification panel showed 2.5 u of tracked volume and an “Under observation” status with a score of 10/100. These figures were recorded from the public page with the tipster’s consent.
Total history count and certification volume cover different scopes. Imported history must be distinguished from the portion tracked since certification activation. Dividing 2.5 u by 26 would not establish the complete bankroll’s average stake.
| Observed public figure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| 26 visible bets | History entries at the time of observation |
| 25 settled, 1 pending | The status breakdown on that date |
| 2.5 u certification tracked volume | The tracked scope displayed by the panel, not all historical stakes |
| Under observation | The displayed status, not completed certification |
What should you check before comparing histories in units?
Start with the period and included bets. Check whether the author explains the convention, stakes and results are visible, and reference changes affect interpretation. Do not compare certification volume with all stakes in another bankroll.
Then review the evidence attached to slips. A history can be readable in units without complete evidence. Stake format explains how amounts are expressed; evidence status explains what lets you check a bet.
Units do not remove financial risk
Calling a loss “u” does not make it virtual. A stake still represents money exposed under the applicable conversion. Unit tracking guarantees no future profit and does not justify copying a tipster’s stakes. Set personal limits and use responsible gambling resources if needed.
