I'm not trying to give you a hard time but there is a section of this forum dedicated to poker and gaming law, you may have more success there.
EDIT: Orginally in General Poker Chat, moved to Poker Law category. Edited because I didn't want to bump two month old post. :0 - Adam

Poor guy. All he wants is a simple answer to a simple question.
So what's a "unit"?

most football pools and other pools use the entry fee as units, 5units 100units, cause its illegal to say 100$ unless your in a state where sports gambling is legal. But poker is legal everywhere i think as long as no one is taking a rake, which means 100% of the buy-in is paid out to the winners.
