This is true if you're betting everything you have. By not having shrinking bets after losses you can tap into the net gains. Compare 1 win followed by 1 loss with $100 start:
Win is $100+$80 = $180
Loss is $180-$90 = $90
Compare with fixed bets of $50 with bank of $100:
Win is $100+$40 = $140
Loss is $140-$25 = $115
The key is not letting your losses affect your bet amount. With the gain being only 80% instead of 100%, betting your bank means 1 win and 1 loss leaves you with less than you started. Making your bet amount fixed between flips means 1:1 will instead give you a net gain. The Kelly Criterion says there is an optimal proportion of bank you can bet that will maximize this gain over many flips
The article says the private sector is building less because of higher interest rates. They ARE purposely limiting the money they can make because the risk of that interest is a potentially greater loss.
