That is basicly what i am trying ask. What should be done when limits get in the way in smaller markets?
As I had previously mentioned, you'd first need to specify two of payout odds, win probability, and total bankroll.
As suggested, please see my http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/handicappe...ml#post1215635.
One more scenario:
Assume full Kelly, a $100K bankroll, odds of +1000 on each bet, and true parlay odds. This then implies win prob (on each bet) of ≈ 10.7273%.
Further assume:
Limit on Bet 1 = $2,000
Limit on Bet 2 = $1,000
Limit on Bet 3 = $500
Limit on Bet 1+2 Parlay = $0
Limit on Bet 1+3 Parlay = $0
Limit on Bet 2+3 Parlay = $0
Limit on Bet 1+2+3 Parlay = $0
Optimal bets are then:
Bet 1: $1,800.49*
Bet 2: $1,000.00
Bet 3: $500.00
* Yes, the optimal wager on Bet #1 is actually higher in this scenario than it would be were it wagered isolation.
