Kelly Criterion. (J. L. Kelly) (1956) This is a bet-sizing system based on the knowledge of
the player's advantage at any point in the game. (e.g., If a player knows he has a 1%
advantage he should bet only 1/100 of his bankroll.
With a 2% advantage he should bet 1/50 of his bankroll). The Kelly criterion is
used in money management by many professional card counters to maximize the long
term growth rate of their bankroll. See gambler's ruin.
