Ladder-Greening Up
« on: 28 Jun 2016, 17:29 »
Hi,

I am facing some problems when using the ladder. Specifically when i try to green up in a market if i already have greened up before usually the amounts placed in the market to do the operations arenĀ“t the ones that would maximize the profits in both the 2 possible outcomes.

Let me give you an example to simplify.

Bets placed (1st round)

                                 back ...3.8...2 euros
                                 lay....3.75...2 euros
(distribute profite)...lay...3.8..0.03 euros

Bets placed (2nd round)

                                 back ...3.75...2 euros
                                 lay....3.70...2 euros
(distribute profite)...lay...3.75..0.03 euros

profit back wins 0.034 euros
profit lay wins 0.06

If my math isnot wrong the amount that would maximize the profit in both the 2 possible outcomes would be lay 0.02 euros and not 0.03. In this case:

profit back wins 0.0061 euros
profit lay wins 0.05 euros


This are just small values and obviously negligible, but i noticed that the situation tends to get worse with the placing of more bets and
corresponding greening up. The income for the 2 possible outcomes get increasingly unbalanced.

Does any one knows if i may be doing something wrong or if this is an error of the program?

Thanks

 :) :) :)
