    Most people fix the bank size first. Most people don't say I want my spread to be x or my top bet to be y. They start by saying how much money they have to play the game. Doesn't that make sense to...

    In CVCX, it takes a few thousand instructions. Partly because of the number of options.

    My question assumes the user does not set the Minimum Bet on CVCX. The software derives the minimum bet when you set Kelly, bankroll, and bet spread. I'm curious to know how it does this but the...

    I realize if you know one the other can be calculated. But which precedes which? Based on p.212 #8, I would think it is Kelly bank. Whichever one comes first, I would like to know how it is...

    I wrote something about this for Katarina long ago, but lost it. (EV/Var) * bankroll * kelly is a very good start and is optimal assuming the count never changes. But you have this formula for each...

    The bank for every chart in chapter 10 is $10,000, which is one of the requirements of SCORE. The optimal bet ramps are then determined for each game. Number of units in Kelly bank = $10k/unit size,...

    The intermediate bets between the min and max are, in fact, determined by the formula you mention. But the min and max are decided by the player, and these constraints are what make finding the...

    Hello Don, I read p.212 #8 prior to posting, however, it does not really address my question. I realize that $10k divided by #units in Kelly bank = unit size. But how are the #units in the Kelly...

    Freightman and G Man, I was NOT suggesting a bet ramp: I was merely illustrating what a bet ramp is. Dog Hand

    MJ1 replied to a thread CVCX: Minimum bet in Software
    Norm, in the past, you have stated that determining the bet ramp is an 'iterative process'. Can you elaborate what you mean by that? With the exception of calculating the minimum bet, the rest of...

    There is no formula, as such, for calculating min bet unless you are only going to make one bet. There is a messy process. I'll be posting something about this in the next few weeks.

    Not really. A bet at +1 can have an advantage that is slim when flooring or truncating because +1 incorporate all counts from 0.1 and 1.0, so when playing your +2 counts, the advantage is more than...

    See p. 212, #8. It pays to read the introductory material. :peaceful: There are Optimal and Practical columns. The Practical are, well, practical bet sizes that deviate slightly from the...

    If I've already been asked not to play somewhere that scans ID for every single patron on entry, would it be helpful at all to change appearance to try looking drastically different?
