Im investing in LIR
LetItRide
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1511021.0;I feel like getting in during the beginning of a site offers much more upside potential then getting in once the site is established.
If you get in once it's established then you're at the mercy of the site and their offer.
None of the already established players will give away such a large portion of their profits to new investors. They may have back in the day when they were new but not anymore.
Like with LIR you can share in 25% of house profits and the devs are using 10% of house profits to buy LIR from the market. Show me another dice site that offers even close to that kind of return potential.
With so many ways to make money its a nobrainer to invest in LIR over some of the other sites.
LIR sockpuppets / trolls back at it again. Read the title of the thread before posting.
First bolded part: This is false. Technically, you are always at the mercy of the site not running off on you. Assume in a hypothetical scenario where no casino runs off. This would mean that you can pull your funds off of the established sites at anytime, since they do not sell profit share, you are simply parking your funds in their bankroll. With LIR, you are at the mercy of the site because you cannot pull your funds out, you need LIR to generate profit.
To the underlined portion: This is very false. LIR gives the least back to stakeholders of any site, this is basic math and not arguable. Every other site offers investors a range of 30-90% of the house edge. LIR gives 15%+ a buy back (which is NOT necessarily profit, simply a return of capital. The only way it is profit is if "Y" (buy back price) - "X" (original investment price) has a remainder. The remainder is profit). If you are a top 10 holder, you get an additional 10%. So basically, assuming you are a top 10 investor, you get 25% back. This is lower than everyone else.
The way LIR investment works:
- You invest in profit share. You cannot pull your funds out at anytime (unlike any other publicly bankrolled casino other than CBTC)
- LIR uses 10% of profit to buy back tokens
- LIR pays 15% to holders
- LIR pays the top 10 coin holders an additional 10%
- If they sell their site, 35% of the purchase price goes to token holders
There is no added upside to investing in profit share in a casino then there is to bankroll it.
Casino "x" = profit share casino
Casino "y" = bankroll casino
Each has 100 BTC bankroll.
Casino "x" gives you 15% profit share (I will even assume casino is giving 15% of revenue instead of profit).
- 1000
BTC volume * 1% HE = 1 BTC expected profit
Profit = 1 BTC
Investors get 15% of 1 BTC, or 0.15 BTC
Casino "y" gives you 90% of the EV
- 1000
BTC volume * 1% HE = 1 BTC expected profit
Investors get 90% of 1 BTC, or 0.9 BTC
Obviously the percentage of the EV is not the only thing that matters, the real thing that matters is what gives you the greatest expected return which would be (volume * bankroll share of HE * your percentage of bankroll), sites that do more volume are more attractive options to investors.
Unless you think LIR is going to do several times the volume of every other casino, its a bad investment.
