It's amazing to me that you seem to actually believe that you are the first one to consider these ideas. Absolutely amazing.

I think what is going on here is that a lot of players who don't understand the prob theory behind this stuff have chosen to go with scaling up variance at every perceived EV+ opportunity because it puts them in the winners circle more often.

But in the long run it is not near optimal, nor maybe even a winning, strategy.
