Kelly stake size is not an appropriate measure of value, only EG.

Kelly staking gets larger for favorites because you have to lay more to win the same amount and the increased confidence gained.

This leads us to real life concerns like limits, for example, say 5dimes moves everytime you place a bet, and you will only be able to bet these lines ONCE before they move to unplayable territory.

Even though Pun's method provides a higher EV, we prefer to play MD's method as our overall growth is higher.
