The answer may be "It's the sim, stupid!", but I was wondering:
REKO-F is marginally better (SCORE) than CoBJ. If CoBJ gets its 'stuff' from the true-count-ish bet ramp and REKO-F uses the largely unadulterated KO RC model, where does the REKO advantage come from? Either its the indices (doesn't seem likely) or is it the super fast bet ramp: twice as fast as KO and three times as fast as COBJ. If the latter, is it really accurate to compare the two or does it make more sense to match the ramps and and see how they perform?
Background is that I was working on CoBJ when I decided to look at REKO. It is much easier to implement the REKO betting than CoBJ and that's a big factor for me. I try to remind myself to keep it simple. On the other hand if I were to sim REKO with sped up CoBJ multistrategy, who knows (a project for later in the week, perhaps)? A simplified ramp and squeeze out a few extra points?
