(This question was spawned from a post on Parker's Pages. Any thoughts would be appreciated.)

My question goes to how to handle a 'lifetime bank.'

If I had a BR in hand of $50K, I could set up a game plan for that and it might crank out a max bet of say $300 and a respective ROR of say 1% (I'm guessing about the 1%.)

If I had a known BR, to be collected at the rate of $2,000 every two weeks for the next twelve and a half months -my 'lifetime bank' is also $50K.

If I said my ROR is 1% on the $2,000 stipends, I would never get off the ground (to conservative.) If I increased my max bet to $300 while playing my stipends (to risky), chances are excellent that the flux wipes me out every week I show up to play.

So the question, how do I calc the optimal bet for a series of $2,000 stipends which eventually total $50K and keep the same ROR as above?

If an answer is forthcoming I'm hoping it is in the form of a transportable formula as I am definitely not a math guy!

Thanks for any input.
