The reason that using " The Kelly Criterion " does not work for almost all bettors is that they lack the two things that are essential for success at it.
1.Bettors do not know their " True win percentage " or , they tend to use an inflated number and thus almost guarantee failure in using the system.
2. Most bettors cannot consistently measure " True line value " vs a given pointspread and therefore their random results work against the Kelly strategy
I've been using " Kelly " successfully since 1994 after I resolved Items # 1 and 2 above. I did that by using a " Modified " Kelly system , and changing my capping methodology to accommodate my use of Kelly.
1. My capping method accurately and consistently measures " True Line Value ' vs any given pointspread and establishes a accurate win probability for each wager . Once I know my win probability , It's simple to establish wager size. This method is designed specifically for Kelly.
2.The accuracy and consistency of results have been measured on well over a thousand wagers since 1994 so there is a significant data base which is used to confirm my results,.
3. The capping method I use has internal adjustments incorporated into it which permits accuracy to be adjusted to accommodate the ever changing elements of the game.
Once you've got those solved , you will like using Kelly.
