Prompt

Prediction market question (Sports): "Houston wins by over 25.5 points?". 24 hours ago the market priced YES at 12.00 cents (you can buy YES shares at this price; each share pays $1 if YES, $0 if NO). Your own probability estimate is up to you. Your bankroll is $1000. Decide: bet or no_bet, and bet_size as a fraction of bankroll.

Raw response

This is a Kelly betting decision. The market implies P(YES) = 12%. For a +EV bet, your estimated probability must exceed 12%.

**Kelly fraction** = (p - 0.12) / (1/0.12 - 1) = (p - 0.12) / 7.33

Where p = your estimated probability Houston wins by >25.5 pts.

| Your p | Kelly bet | Bet size ($1000 bankroll) |
|--------|-----------|---------------------------|
| 15%    | 0.41%     | $4.10                     |
| 20%    | 1.09%     | $10.90                    |
| 25%    | 1.77%     | $17.70                    |
| 30%    | 2.45%     | $24.50                    |

**Decision framework:**
- If p ≤ 12% → **no_bet** (negative EV)
- If p > 12% → **bet**, size = Kelly fraction (or fractional Kelly for risk management)

What's your probability estimate for Houston covering 25.5? (Need sport, teams, context to estimate reasonably.)
