Kelly Criterion for Optimal Stake Sizing
Mathematical framework for maximizing long-term growth while minimizing risk of ruin
What is the Kelly Criterion?
The Kelly Criterion is a mathematical formula used to determine the optimal size of a series of bets. It maximizes the expected logarithm of wealth, ensuring long-term growth while controlling variance.
Where f* is the fraction of bankroll to wager, b is the decimal odds minus 1, p is probability of winning, and q is probability of losing (1-p).
Practical Example
Hollywood Bets odds: 2.40 (Springboks)
Implied odds: 41.7%
Edge: +6.3%
f* = (1.40 × 0.48 - 0.52) / 1.40
f* = 0.107 = 10.7%
Half Kelly (safer): 5.4% of bankroll
