Default Re: To hedgers: Adding insult to injury

All advantage gamblers have two things in common: they are money-loving and risk-averse. We are not argue this, right? When such a person is offered to make a 2% +EV or a 5% +EV bet, and choose the stakes, he will find the stakes at which this bet is optimal for him. (Optimal bet will be Kelly bankroll * percent advantage). The answer will never be: "you can take the bet and shove it", unless making the bet is inconvenient in some way.
