holy fuck this was a grind. after almost 300 flips i 10x my money with 60% coin flip. for this i just used my intuition but i would approximate it as "half kelly" but also keeping the bets low until the nest egg "stabilizes"pic.twitter.com/Z2uQQSFDPb

here's my first kelly attempt (w/ 60% heads kelly is 20% bet pet flip) i basically give up when i lose half the capitalpic.twitter.com/VyW7fcMVRx

here's a kelly that succeeds. it DID take a shorter time. 129 flips vs 300 but it felt MUCH longer because of the disheartening drops.pic.twitter.com/6iL63ZOfX8

so while kelly betting does mathematically give you the greatest return in the shortest time, this is "clock time" vs "internal time". your internal state and how well you deal with frustration is much more important than the maximally fastest path
