There are many articles about on the Kelly Criterion + Kelly Fraction for anyone new to this.
Now according to the stated results the Kelly Fraction would be 10.7%. Of the Bank.
So the 1st bet would be ~23 cents.
And you would expect to win ~5 cents.
And double your bank of $2.11 in ~27 bets.
Keep doubling and that billion is within your grasp.
Kinda' like this well known system:
