You may be correct with your math, but I don't recommend that people play that way. Resizing constantly wins less than constant betting, and is extremely impractical to boot.

I'd prefer the option of cutting back to half stakes if and when half the bank is lost. Then, the 10% ROR is lowered all the way to about 3%, but if you never reach half your bank, you continue to play for full stakes.

I think most people would prefer to create a 3% trip ROR this way, rather than your way.
