Default just a thought

I have been thinking along the lines of utility functions, Kelly, bankroll and such and I found myself thinking that on some level Kelly is just like the Law of Large numbers, it can only be applied if you are going to live forever (that aside from other conditions) and if you are not then it becomes pretty much like the Gambler's Fallacy. I found this thought controversial yet amusing and decided to share it with you guys.
