Have a betting philosophy question.

[JakeandBA]

Let's say over the off season you were able to develope 3 betting handicapping methods which
hit 55% each (after proper back testing etc).

Would you split your bankroll 3 way and bet all 3 methods over the upcoming season?
Split your bankroll 2 ways and bet 2 methods over the upcoming season
Just bet one method?


Curious to see the replies

If you are confident that 55% on average can be achieved, then I would play all 3 systems. Why wouldn't you?
Are any of the plays that the systems yield the same? If so, how do they do? I would think better so you could double up on those plays. Or just play them "once".

My concern here would be the inevitable variance that hits, and if all 3 systems have bad years, then you could have a problem. I also worry about 55% being "the number". 55% winners with Kelly criterion wagering could be very nice.

Would the size of one's bankroll play a factor and how many plays on average each method requires weekly?

Agree with Heatwave though I'd play all 3

 

[VegasKnows]

I would apply all three and when the same bet shows up in all three methods only then would I play it.

I would bet all 3 methods out of the same bankroll. If they all hit at the same 55% rate splitting a bankroll won't change the frequency of wins and losses.
