    How to profit with an edge?
    How do you make the most out of a good bet? Let's say you know you're going to hit 60% of the time, what would be the most profitable system of betting?

                You bet slightly smaller. See calculator here:

                Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.


                As an example, set 0.333 Kelly multiplier, hit calc, it says stake size of 1.84%. Now set number of independent events to 5, it drops to 1.71%. At 10, it drops to 1.55% each bet. At 15, it's 1.42%

                Note that even 1/3 Kelly may be too aggressive, and you'll have some pretty wild swings. I'd suggest starting at 1/4.
