Prompt

Prediction market question (Sports): "Houston wins by over 26.5 points?". 24 hours ago the market priced YES at 11.00 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 criterion betting decision. The market implies ~11% probability (11¢ per $1 share).

**To decide, I need your probability estimate (p).** 

Kelly fraction = `(p - 0.11) / 0.89` (since odds are ~8.09:1)

| Your p | Kelly % | Bet size ($1000) |
|--------|---------|------------------|
| 15%    | 4.5%    | $45              |
| 20%    | 10.1%   | $101             |
| 25%    | 15.7%   | $157             |
| 30%    | 21.3%   | $213             |

**Recommendation:** Only bet if your p > 11%. Use fractional Kelly (e.g., 0.5×) for risk management. Without a specific game/teams/context, I can't estimate p for you.

What's your probability estimate for Houston covering +26.5?
