Just read a post by a player on another board that made me go "hmmmmm." I won't go into details yet. But let me set up a scenario or two and solicit your thoughts.
Player is in a $5 game and has a $12 bet on the six. The six rolls and he says "Up a unit." What is the total amount of the pressed bet?
Player is at a $10 game and has a $12 bet on the six. The six rolls and he says "Up a unit." What is the total amount of the pressed bet?
Player is at a $10 game and has a $12 bet on the six. The six rolls and he says "Press it." What is the total amount of the pressed bet?

$18, $18, $24, $24. At least in my experience.

I agree with DeadCat - 18, 18, 24, 24.
Unless you specify to the dealer otherwise, "a unit" should mean the smallest amount possible - which would always be $5 or $6. "Press it" or "Press all the way" mean the same thing, which is essentially parlay - but because of the uneven amounts of payoff vs proper bet amount only the maximum possible is added to the initial bet.

Re: Full Press Question?
I think that if you say one unit it is six dollars. I have played 25 dollar table and say one unit and dealer goes up 6 dollars after the initial bet of 25.
Re: Full Press Question?
Good question Heavy,
I am thinking that 'a unit' means lowest unit of the table. ie five dollar table..5-6 dollar unit
ten dollar table..10-12 dollar unit.
'press it all the way', means press up as much as payout will allow. Twelve dollar 6 goes to twenty-four dollar bet with two change.
That being said, they almost always ask me for a clarification, then follow that for future presses.

Re: Full Press Question?
Excellent job, gentlemen. In a $5 game if you press your $12 six up a unit it goes up a $6 unit to $18. The $10 game is where you have to be sure you get what you want. Some dealers will take the approach that since it's a $10 game that $10 - $12 is the unit size so they'll push you from $12 to $24. But I agree that it SHOULD go to $18 at this level. A "press it" call at this level gets you to $24. But if you want to press it all the way the dealer is going to stack the entire $14 pay off on there and give you an incorrectly sized $26 six. Now, here's why some players like this move - even though they're being underpaid on that additional $2 when it hits. What's the pay off on a $26 six? Well, a $24 six pays you $28 PLUS even money on the additional $2 for a total $30 Pay off. Players that like this move then typically go to $30 on the six and collect $26 on this hit. Of course, some of us like to drop $4 on top of that $14 pay off on the six and power press right to $30, bypassing the short pay.
