EE does not put an U in EUT. EE stats that in EUT the U term must equal log (Wealth) otherwise EUT produces wrong results. EE uses a completely different form

EE does not put an U in EUT. EE stats that in EUT the U term must equal log (Wealth) otherwise EUT produces wrong results. EE uses a completely different formula. It has an open space for a (slightly restricted) function (similar to U). An example of EE with this open space filled is Kelly's criterion, which of course looks nothing like EUT.

> An example of EE with this open space filled is Kelly's criterion, which of course looks nothing like EUT. I’m not sure if I’m reading this correctly: Kelly’s criterion looks nothing like EUT? Maybe I completely misunderstood what you were trying to say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion “The Kelly bet size is found by maximizing the expected value of the logarithm of wealth, which is equivalent to maximizing the expected geometric growth rate.”
