Let's see.
If the mods will allow two threads by me on the bet tracker board, I want to live test Kelly betting. I have my Orb out and it's been rubbed and it's spitting out probabilities, and I am Kelly betting them. Some quants on this board have concluded - through losing large chunks of their bank - that Kelly betting is no good, even though at one point those same quants suggested it was the "only way to maximise bankroll" etc, etc...
However, IF you have accurate probabilities, Kelly betting IS the right way... the point is of course that "no-one" has accurate probabilities.
Well, I'd like to learn the hard way. It's the best way to learn, so let's go ahead and do it. Kelly betting, over various bet types on AFL, here we go.
All these bets are based on my probability estimates for these various bet types.
