People who can't wait for my interpretation of the Kelly criterion and who are fairly literate mathematically can look at the following 2 articles. The first one, the original article by JL Kelly Jr is fairly unreadable. It can be found at

The second by Edward Thorp is not as bad.

There are lots of other articles on Kelly at the bjmath site - Blackjack people love this stuff.
