    Average bet

    Hi.
    I can’t seem to find a calculation on hos to calculate tour average bet when varying tour bet with the true count.
    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks

    I can’t help you out with a calculation. However, I can guesstimate your average bet as being 4-5 units when betting optimal or close to optimal. This varies on actual spread, ramping speed and other factors.

    Of course, when playing tighter for longevity purposes, average bet reduces to perhaps 3 units. Like anything else, these numbers can be manipulated in various ways. Further, the unknown regaled system has a tendency to reduce average bets, but that’s another story.

    This assumes $10,000 bankroll, $10 minimal table, Risk of Ruin 13.5%, you always bet one Kelly (meaning bet $40 when your advantage is 0.5%, bet $80 when advantage is 1%, $120 when advantage is 1.5%, $160 when advantage is 2%, $200 when advantage is 2.5% or higher.)

    Then your average bet is about $35. (Your bet could be $10, $40, $80, $120, $160 and $200. Most of times it is $10.)

    The above estimates are way too high. See, for example, p. 236, Table 10.43. Your average bet is NEVER 4-5 units. It's not 3.5, either. Not if you bet optimally, and especially not if you don't jump bets for camouflage purposes.
