The casino is willing to pay 2 to 1 on any bet you make.
Your odds of winning any one flip are 50/50.
Therefore, your probability is .5... 50%.
Your 'odds offered' are '2 to 1' (so enter 2).
You have $1,000 with you.

Hit calculate, and see that you should definitely take the bet. Your optimal bet size is 25% of your bankroll.

(Now, find a casino stupid enough to offer those odds!)

Of course, you can see practical the practical value of Kelly betting when it comes to things with discrete results and obvious probabilities - say pot odds in a poker hand. Your mileage may vary.
