    cvcx question

    hey guys. i was hoping norm (or any other cvcx experts) could clarify something for me. how does the optimal bet spread that CVCX generates for you based on your spread, bankroll, rules, etc. compare with fractional kelly betting? are they related? is one more risk averse than the other? does it all come down to what the RoR is? what are the advantages and disadvantages of both, and what do YOU use? i play multiple deck shoe games, and try to find rules that at most give the house a 0.5% edge off the top. thank you.

    Just set the Kelly option to what Kelly fraction you would like.

    Unselect "Manually Adjust Min Bet" checkbox and the kelly fraction/risk of ruin spinner will appear

    Use the Wonging function on the sim setup screen instead.

    Do you still need to click the back counting button for accurate sim results?

    If you turned on Wonging before the sim, there is no back-counting button. You should also change the count at which the display starts in the setup.
