    Question regarding Kelly moving forward
    Hopefully you can help...

    I play an NBA system each year that normally hits in the 57% range...
    This year however it is rolling along at a 34-21 (61.81%) pace...
    My question, Do I continue to play my system at the 57% Kelly calculation or do I cut that number back since my system is playing out at such a hot pace and i should expect a downturn??

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Is there any math involved in your system?

      No it is situational.

        Don't scale down your edge just because you've been on a little run, good or bad.

        The games don't have a memory from one to the other.

        34-21 is not far off what you would expect over 55 games anyway, given your 57 % expectation.

        Bottom line is if you expect to win 57 % going forward, use that to size your bets.
