CVCX Viewer - Top: Bankroll

Next the Bankroll tab. At the top, set your bankroll. This is used to calculate the minimum bet and betting ramps.

By default, the Risk of Ruin is set to 13.5%. This is the risk that you will lose your entire bankroll. 13.5% is the optimal setting as it provides the best statistical balance between risk and reward for optimal bankroll growth. However, it is larger than most people would like. Therefore, you can set your own Risk. The minimum bet size and optimal betting ramp will be based on this risk.

For those that understand Kelly theory and would like to specify a Kelly Factor, this feature also exists. This is another method of specifying risk and is not required.

The minimum bet is normally calculated using all of the other parameters. However, you can also force a minimum bet if you wish. All other bets will be recalculated accordingly.
