It says that profits are taxes 35% in both of the following cases:
- On Sunday evening (on any profit accrued)
- When the investment is closed.
So let's say my investment generates a profit of 0.5BTC for the week and leave the investment open. 0.175BTC will be taken as tax on Sunday evening leaving me with a remaining profit of 0.325BTC.
Now lets say next week some wagerers get lucky and my investment loses 0.5BTC. My investment is now in the red -0.175BTC. I don't get taxed. Fine.
The following week the investment ends up 0.5BTC in the green. My investment is now worth (-0.175 + 0.5 = 0.325BTC) 0.325 again, however now since I made 0.325, that get's taxed 35% leaving me with 0.21125.
So what actually happened was (week 1) +0.5BTC (week 2) 0 BTC (week 3) +0.5BTC
And my investment becomes (week 1) 0.325BTC (week 2) -0.175 BTC (week 3) 0.21125.
The owner takes 57% of the profits making it impossible for me to profit.
Ethan, you say taxes are only taken from amounts not already taxed, but what if the amount taxed is lost and then remade, do you tax it again?
Please clarify that above, I really don't know why you need to take tax off every week. It would make much more sense to me to take the tax off ONLY when the investment is closed..
