    I like to bet 5% on the ones that値l lose and I値l go as high as 7-10% on the ones that値l win. Why not just do 0% on the losers, you ask? Because doing it that way will get your account banned.

    This is very similar. You do NOT deposit your full bankroll (unless your full bankroll is the max signup bonus amount) and you do not bet 1-3% but you MOST DEFINITELY do not follow any kind of half kelly, quarter kelly or any kellys ........other than bundy or kapowski.
    This may give you a better understanding of Kelly.

    Look, if you want to deposit $10,000 into 5 books (2k each) and then bet $100-$300 per play--1-3%

    you are flat out wrong if you think that is the way to go though

    personally i bet 0.33% (1/3 of 1 unit) some times less, of total bankroll per play ,my bottom line or ultimate goal is to obtain a return of 4-10% on my bottom line, total money laid in that year, which suits me fine looking at it from a investment stand point it is just a vehicle to achieve a goal. Their are to many variables and questions. but here are few examples that are every week occurrences for real world situations that might make one think different.
    -all bets are created equal no matter how big the perceived edge
    -25 wagers going off in one sports today despite having diversity dogs, favs ,totals
    -the ever changing bankroll adjustment
    -the loosing streak from hell
    -the 6 week winning streak (ahhh invincible you say)
    ect ect you get the idea
    so many variables to the rules can make ones head spin, but if you know you know how many of this and that then the pot of creativity can be stirred to make some kick ass chilli

    UK & Australia Horse Racing - 0.07% (350$ stakes on 500,000$ Bankroll)

    Football, Cricket & Tennis - 0.15%

    Books - Betfair Exchange, Pinnacle & other Asian Books.

    Works extremely well for me to make a decent profit every month. Obviously, you need to do your homework and identify value before placing bets.

    I put aside $2k for bankroll, which is about 5% of all my savings/investments. Of that bankroll, I bet 1-3 percent and adjust every $500 (not daily or weekly). Some bets get less like half a percent but I very rarely go over three percent, if ever. I am smalltime and don't mind betting $20 a game.

    It depends on your bankroll. If your bankroll is short, you can start with %5. As your bankroll grows, you better reduce the %. There was a post I had wrote in the past, check out.

    It has been win+risk = 4%. I think win+risk = 2% better for me. Leads to more self control.

    WORST STRATEGY

    who is collecting interest on that money?

    who can use that money?

    who loses that money if books go broke?







    TRUST ME, when you deposit and lose $50 as an all in play, books will offer the same fukkin reload bonus to you as if you deposited 10k and lost $50






    big difference men




    BET 100% of your offshore roll, but deposit 1-5% of your roll
    This is actually an interesting take but I've had over $2k sitting in my account for 5+ years. Even at an excellent rate of 3% interest, I've only missed out on $300. I've used that money to make more in that time but you're definitely right on everything.

    The "optimal" bet size varies per bet as different bets offer different perceived edges.

    I wouldn't worry about "optimizing" bet size at this point and risk no more than 1% of your roll while trading your equity curve; as the roll increases/decreases, your bet size follows suit.
