If it's betting, my first piece of advice would be to join a forum for betting You're likely to get better and more varied responses. Not that you shouldn't stick around here Second piece of advice. Unless you're in this spot because it's all very short prices, you really shouldn't be going over 100% with 20 selections. You're either wrong about your calculation of chances for your selections, or you're a God among men with picking selections If your "probability of success" is derived from your opinion, take a step back and consider whether you're overestimating your edge over the price. If it's derived from past results/bets, look into p-value to see how many bets it actually takes before results can be considered statistically relevant and sustainable. It's a lot more than you'd expect!
Just my two cents, but as it were, if we assume, your calculations are correct, you've got a few options:
1) Fractional Kelly. Yep Nero, I came along and said it Simply adjust each bet down by a certain percentage to coincide with 100% total.
2) Choose the selections with the highest recommended percentage, and leave the rest out. These should be the ones with the best combination of high edge and low volatility.
3) Choose the selections with the shortest prices, and leave the rest out. Lowest volatility and thus chance of building your bankroll.
Now, here's where I do agree with Nero. I'm not a fan of fractional Kelly. I would suggest option 2, closely followed by option 3. I only mention fractional Kelly, because using full Kelly with option 2 absolutely demands that you know what you're doing. If you're in any doubt, as to whether your basis of calculations is rock solid, then I'd go with option 1.
