Because you said he bets 1 unit, so we called U the unit (I didn't look at Gizmo's post before I did that, it's just a coincidence that we both decided to call it U). I just thought it'd be easier to spot a U in the formulas and substitute later rather than have to decide later what is a "1" and what is "1 unit" in the formulas.
