I’ve had a thread here where I’ve been fading favorites, and it’s been going pretty well overall. That said, I haven’t really had the time to properly explain my picks or keep track of results consistently.
So I’m gonna try something different and run a little experiment, basically automate the whole process using the Kelly Criterion.
f* = (bp - q) / b
Step 1: Pull in as much data as possible Step 2: Check implied probabilities Step 3: Calculate EV Step 4: Run full Kelly Step 5: Step 4 × Step 3
I’ve got two slightly different versions of this, and I’ll use this thread to track everything for now.
