On $200 I would cap a single bet at 2 to 3 percent, so $4 to $6, not $40. Putting $40 on one game is 20 percent of your roll and that is how you end up broke by the third weekend.
The point of a small unit is that you can lose eight in a row and still have a bankroll. With $40 bets you are out after five losses.
Recalculate your unit once a month, not after every win. Chasing the unit up after a hot streak is how people give it all back.
