Default Re: Why You Shouldnt Play HUSNG with 20 Buyins

I prefer to err on the conservative side when estimating my win rate .

So using full kelly , we would invest f=[p*(v+1)-1]/v
where v is your v-to-one odds received on the wager , v= 0.9523:1

So if we use p=58% , we would risk [.58*(1.9523)-1]/0.9523 = 13.896% of our bankroll on each individual gamble . So using half-kelly we would risk about 7% of our bankroll which still maintains a high bankroll growth rate without as much volatility .
