hello,

If i have gathered all my bets and established which ones i have an edge with, say for example i have 9 instances in which i have an edge, do i stake the %age of the bank to its original amount for every bet? or for the new amount concurrently?

a bit clearer: 9 bets with edge,i rank them by strength, kelly gives me %age of bank to bet with each one. now, do i bet the percentage of the original bank before bet 1 for every bet or do i bet the percentage of the new bank every time a bet is struck?

thanks
