Let's say that in the NHL or NBA playoffs you expect $1k of EV per game (for the sake of the problem, bets are at +100) and you have a bankroll of $100k. However, sometimes a series will only go 4 or 5 games and you lose the EV of having games 6 and 7 played. Would Kelly call for hedging against short series? Also, you find that a certain team to sweep is at fair value (let's say you also find u5.5 games is at fair value). How much should you be betting on that?
