Optimizing bet size with Kelly Citerion[]

With Kelly citerion, bet size can be controlled to achieve continous growth of the stack.

The return on any single bet is

(1) R=(1+n)^x*(1-n)^(x-1), where n is the fraction of your tangerine to bet and x is your winning probability.

To find the optimal return on a bet, we have to find the roots of the derivative of this function

∂R/∂n = -(1-n)^-x*(1+n)^(x-1)*(n-2x+1) = 0

The roots are n=-1, n=1, and n=2x-1 (only the last root proves valuable)

(2) n=2x-1 n is the optimal bet amount for win odds x

For example, if you win 62% of the time you should only bet 24% of your stack. This could be done by purchasing 2 stock with 50% of your value. You will be left with 25% of your original value (close to 24%) and can use this value for betting. After you place a bet, regardless of the outcome, you should cash in your stock and start over again. (Growth rate of your capital in this example is approximately 3% for each bet. Doubling time is about 24 bets)

If you win 75% of the time, you should bet 50% of your stack each time. (Growth rate of your capital is approximately 14% for each bet, doubling time is about 5.3 bets). If each betting round takes 4 seconds (can be taken down to 2 seconds with the use of scripting) it should take just under 6 hours to get the "The Fulliverse" achievement.

It is not worthwhile to use this technique until win odds are above 60% as the average growth is only 2%.

Bet intervals of 1/32 (3.1%) can be chosen by using all 5 stocks. Below is a list of useful stock investment percentages. Remember that your bet percentage is [1-investment percentage].
