Nakowa is currently on a winning streak.

Nice show, definitely positive exposure for the Casino.

Still, just take a minute to take in how much money it really is. Calculate how long you have to do your day job to earn these amounts.

I will never know how these people have hundreds of thousands of dollars laying around to gamble. They must be millionaires. 

seriously, he just deposited another 3000 btc?  

After just losing 4000 btc in few hours???

He really is going all in.

This might take the house down, divest bitches!

Wow, I just saw this user "berathea" winning around 500 BTC in just  5 minutes. Insane!

profit at 4300, 3000btc incoming... ugh

christmas came early

Yep, Nakowa just lost and reloaded 1,790BTC. A degenerate gambler is a degenerate gambler. That's why casinos exist

Seems like now everyone is an expert, even the degenerate gambler

You can send me a PM or just clearly mention that it is me the one running with 0.8% edge. You should also notice the bankroll of such site.

Are you aware that there are actual casino games with edge lower than this (like Blackjack in certain settings) ? The only thing I'm getting from your posts is that you want other sites to increase their edge, so the one you defined for your site doesn't look as bad. If you have something constructive to tell me, I would be glad to hear. Telling me to look at some other site profit is not constructive.

Come back any time.

FACT: investing on JD is of gamble just as wagering, and in theory, investors have an advantage of 1%.

However, big variances do happen from time to time (as shown by me before, for example; and ID 105829 won 1007 last 24 hours.)

The problem? A house edge of 1%, too small to shield investors who are trying to gamble against players. (Some developers in this community are evening trying 0.8% house edge, holy s..t).

Discussing how to rectify the mechanism of investment structure is pretty pointless. IMO.

You fail to grasp what risk is.

The money is risked as soon as it's added to the available MAX WIN.  ALL of it is risked then.

When someone clicks the bet button and rolls it ceases to be risked - and turns into either winnings or loss.

Between every bet the low-risk better IS risking 0.25% of his bank-roll and the high risk 1% of his.  That's what being invested means - that you accept the risk of someone making a bet and winning in return for the benefit of them making a bet and losing.  And the amount each investor risks is determined BEFORE the next bet occurs - the amount wagered, the bet chosen and the results then determine what the result was of that specific instance of risk.

EDIT: To be clearer, consider what the MAX WIN actually is.  It's a statement by the house that "we have investors who are collectively risking X BTC on any gamble you choose to make where your winnings would not exceed that".  It's on offer - so it's at risk.

No - Kelly in this context relates to what the INVESTOR risks.  And the low-risk is NOT risking more than 0.25% of his bank-roll in any one shot.  Where in dooglus' proposal does the low-risk bet over 0.25% of his bank-roll?

Think of it in terms of a single bet with only investors.

Investor A (low risk) says : I'm willing to risk up to 0.25 BTC on this bet.
Investor B (high risk) says : I'm willing to risk up to 1 BTC on this bet.

The house says to Gambler : "You can bet up to 1.25 BTC - how much would you like to bet"?

Without knowing the answer what is the fair way to share exposure?  To me (and to dooglus) the obvious answer is A gets 20% of the action, B gets 80% - in ratio to what they're willing to risk on that single bet.

You seem to believe A is allowed to say "I'm willing to risk up to 0.25 BTC but I want half of all action until my money is all in play".

So why isn't B allowed to say "Fuck you - I'll take the first 1 BTC and you can go without unless he bets more than that?"

If one can make stupid claims for preferential treatment relative to what they're risking, why can't the other?

Remember that the money is exposed to risk BEFORE the bet is made - it's all exposed to accepting action (and displayed as such in the MAX WIN area).  If you want a bigger share of each bet then offer to expose more of your money per bet (either by a higher risk % or by depositing more).

I think i understand where you're coming from. The main problem with your proposal for me is that piecemeal functions are way too hard for me to analyse, and analysing just-dice investment variance was already a PITA.

The beauty of doogs proposal is that it's no more difficult to analyse from the site's perspective, a given investor's perspective or a player's perspective than previously. I'm not sure how I'd go about analysing your proposal with using a simulation.

My analysis agrees with Deprived. If you have 500BTC to invest, and your options are either to put it all on the site at 0.25% or 1/4 of it at 1%:

Maybe over the long term there's more of a big difference?

If there's essentially no difference, then this new feature is just a fancy way of divesting a portion of your balance.

This is my proposal (same as before)
1) if bets are lower than the lowest percentile than everyone gets an equal piece of the pie based on holdings
2) if bets is between percentiles of the max profit then the lowest percentiles will risk as much as they can, then the remaining holders will split risk among themselves based on holdings.
3) if bets are the max profit then everyone invests there max risk
4)highRisk investors DO get higher profit share.  As you can see the high risk investor gets more action.

This method is exactly like what is implemented now.  Except for the fact that high risk investors increase the max profit even higher, and they will get profit off of this higher risk.

Facts:
-New lowRisk investors WILL increase the max profit.
--> So if you invest 1000 more btc at 0.25% then the max profit will raise by 2.5 btc.

-Max win is not based off of lowRisk
lowRisk : 20k BTC @ 0.25%, highRisk : 5k BTC @ 1%

MaxProfit : 20000*0.25% + 5000*1% =  100 BTC
lowRisk contributes 50 btc and high Risk contributes 50 btc on max bets.
lowRisk risks .25% on max bets, highRisk risks 1% on max bets.
lowRisk is willing to risk up to 0.25%, highRisk is willing to risk up to 1%.

if bet 1 BTC @ 49.5%
lowRisk: ±0.8 (.004%), highRisk: ±0.2 (.004%)

if bet 50 BTC @49.5%
lowRisk: ±40 (.2%), highRisk: ±10 (.2%)

if bet 62.5 BTC @49.5%
lowRisk: ±50 (.25%), highRisk: ±12.5 (.25%)

if bet 75 btc @ 49.5%
lowRisk: ±50 (.25%), highRisk: ±25 (.5%)

if bet 100 btc @ 49.5%
lowRisk: ±50 (.25%), highRisk: ±50 (1%)

LowRisk people do not only accept small bets.  

Actually, with the other method lowRisk investors get a disproportionate share of "low-risk"action.  This is what I want to fix.

With this method lowRisk investors get a proportionate share of "lowRisk" action.  

But, they'll risking something on high risk investments.  Just less, because they're risk-averse.  And they'll be missing out on the action.  You call it high variance, other people might call it profit.

And what's great about this method is that it scales to higher percentages.  If someone is willing to risk 5% of their bankroll on big bets than this method allows them to.  With the other method it wouldn't be fair at all.

Because they would get so much more disproportionate share of lower betting action.  Just because they're willing to bet big bets doesn't mean they should get more profit from lower bets.  And by allowing this disproportionate share (even 1% vs 0.25%) people are able to exploit this by switching between the risk levels.
