FAQ

What is the Kelly criterion?

It's a formula for the share of your bankroll that grows it fastest over the long run, given your edge. For a binary contract priced at p that you believe wins with probability q, full Kelly stakes (q − p) / (1 − p) of your bankroll on YES.

Why use half or quarter Kelly?

Your probability estimates are never exact. Betting a fraction of Kelly gives up a little growth in exchange for much smaller drawdowns, which is why most professional bettors do it.

Does it work for Kalshi, Manifold, or sportsbooks?

Yes. Any yes/no market priced between 0 and 100 works. For sportsbooks, turn the odds into an implied price with the converter first.

Is this financial advice?

No. It's a math tool, and markets carry risk. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and follow the rules where you live.
