I think some clarification is in order here. It's my fault since I don't posted any betting schemes so I think now is a good time to do it:
Let's take a 1-12 spread in 6D. The optimal betting scheme would be:
TC <= -4 ==> 1.00 u | $ 13.20
TC = -3 ==> 1.00 u | $ 13.20
TC = -2 ==> 1.79 u | $ 23.59
TC = -1 ==> 3.24 u | $ 42.80
TC = 0 ==> 4.82 u | $ 63.60
TC = 1 ==> 6.40 u | $ 84.44
TC = 2 ==> 7.91 u | $ 104.38
TC = 3 ==> 9.65 u | $ 127.34
TC = 4 ==> 11.18 u | $ 147.55
TC >= 5 ==> 12.00 u | $ 158.37
play-all | rounds played = 100.00%

1 - 12 2.793 46.001 13.53 27131 6.07 36.86 757.70 2.470 13.198 1.000
This is for a $10,000 BR, 100 RPH and a unit of $13,20. If we used integer amounts instead then we would have:
TC <= -4 ==> 1.00 u | $ 10.00
TC = -3 ==> 1.00 u | $ 10.00
TC = -2 ==> 2.00 u | $ 20.00
TC = -1 ==> 3.00 u | $ 30.00
TC = 0 ==> 5.00 u | $ 50.00
TC = 1 ==> 6.50 u | $ 65.00
TC = 2 ==> 8.00 u | $ 80.00
TC = 3 ==> 9.50 u | $ 95.00
TC = 4 ==> 11.00 u | $ 110.00
TC >= 5 ==> 12.00 u | $ 120.00
play-all | rounds played = 100.00%
spread ev/h sd/h ror% n0 di score ekb avb unit kelly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 12 2.795 46.051 7.16 35777 5.29 27.95 1000.00 2.482 10.000 1.000
Notice that the BR is the same ($10,000), same RPH (100), lower ROR = 7.16% and of course a lower score (27.95).
The important thing here is that you should start raising your bets at -2 (not at +1 as you've supposed).
Hope this helps,
Sincerely,
Cacarulo
