Everyone has a different bankroll, so unit is a good way to help everyone be able to tell how much up or down someone would be if they followed them.
1 Unit would be what you generally bet on a game.
1 Unit for me may be $100, where it may be $1000 or only $20 for someone else.
2 Units mean you double your normal bet, I don't usually ever bet anymore than 2 Units, unless I feel its an absolute lock for various reasons.
Since juice is usually -110, if I lose a game I count that as minus 1.1 units, so if I went 1-1 on the night I would be +0.9 Units.

A unit is whatever your standard amount for a bet is. For some it's 5, for others it is 100. Money line is taking a team to win the game, not the spread. So if they are a 5 point favorite and you bet the ML, you win money as long as they win the game, but it's a lot more risk involved.
