For those planning to make future bets based on last week's Extra Credit:
The optimum fraction of your money to bet before each game is:
x = |m-n|/(m+n)
or, the difference in wins remaining for the two teams, divided by the total number of games remaining. Much simpler than I'd expect given the complexity of the problem.
