It's all based on your edge Benny - no edge, no bet.

In the example I quoted the edge is worked out as follows:

16.7% and 13.3% which translates to 55.67% and 44.33% of the 30% total, so to work out the amounts is simply a matter of dividing whatever the total outlay is by the 55.67% and 44.33% respectively.

In the example, I recommended that 16.7 is the amount of the outlay, so 16.7 x 55.67% = 9 (rounded down) and 16.7 x 14.33% is 7 (rounded down).

The beauty of doing it this way is that IF your pricing/assessing is correct then you lock in some beautiful overlays.

Hope that all makes sense.
