Any maths heads know how to calculate the optimum stake for e/w bets? Its easy when you are dealing a single price but a little more tricky to calculate when you have two prices. Any ideas??

Found a few old posts around the internet asking this and I've never seen a satisfactory answer.

You can use the sbr calculator to work out the number for simultaneous non correlated events as a starting point I guess, which is the best I can offer. Hopefully someone smart can add to that
