Higher win probability or higher payout?

[slope99]

For example:
Parlay 1: I get 3% ev. Payout 5 to 1.
Parlay 2: I get 2.5% ev. Payout 20 to 1.

(I calculate a +ev because bookie is off with his spreads)

If you had 100$ to bet, would you bet it all on game 1? Or 50$ each game, or other?

slope, u need to understand EG, or expected growth.

search for Ganchrow's () very well written threads about this, much better explained than i could hope to offer. might look confusing at first but he even gives examples 4 u to work through urself.

here is the 1 i was thinking of, but really try to get through all his posts in the tank - pretty sure u won't think it a waste of time.
