Yeah, it's brutal in places. And sometimes it's 50 or more pips.
Automatic or semi-automatic?

I just wondered, has anyone tried to get a formal solution to the problem of controlling bet size for a guaranteed break-even game with infinite capital, if the probabilities of winning, losing and their absence are known (sum of probabilities of three outcomes is equal to one); and also the sizes of winning and losing (two different values).

Got it, no one. All those who wish to do so are simply screwing a completely alien tool to their ideas :(

You say in normal language.

There can be no guaranteed break-even game in the presence of probability at all.

Really? What about the martingale?

There is always a non-zero probability of a failed series of any finite length.

A lot of things can't happen and yet they do.

Capital is infinite :)
Draw a formula, you two-timers.
