Raffle Closed

According to your rank and reputation, I don't think you are fit to hold the amount for such a raffle. It is highly risky to send fund directly to you.

---

Op is a member and almost no trade history so think 2 times before sending any fund to op.

We all have to start somewhere, I appreciate you looking out for the fish in the shark tank.

It would be advisable to use an escrow to hold the funds so that prospective players can be assured of a higher degree of trust.

But using escrow require budget so OP should decrease the amount of the prize. And if OP is interested to use escrow then I have a suggestion list for using escrow: Few Trusted Escrow Provider (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302)

I hear you guy's feedback about potential escrow. 
I think its a bunch of unnecessary transactions and fee's personally, But I guess I understand where you guys are coming from.
(If it was like .016 BTC I would deem escrow worth the cost. I'm open minded to solutions but fee's are really high right now so I figured custodial was the way to go.
If its any help my incentive is the 10% and just want to have something fun going on.
I'm also a relatively new campaign manager for Microlacer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5125748.0) and have done week one payouts.

I think it has no value still no one participated in your raffle. If it could run by a higher ranked and positive trusted person then you could see several participants. But for you right now the number of participants is 0 and I think it will remain 0 or it will take a long time, for example, a few weeks or a few months to fill all slots.

Like I had mentioned I got to start somewhere, hopefully this will be a good trust building point for me. And hopefully participants!

What if I secured a deposit with someone from this list that covered the pot in its entirety. If something goes wrong the escrow guy releases the funds to you guys/winner.It cuts TX fee's down not saying anything will go wrong but if it helps build trust then I'm down.It will be about 2 weeks before I can do said deposit though.

The problem with that is the escrow is left holding the bag.... :P

I'll share my 2 5 Satoshis :D

1. Apart from your Rank, it's really hard to get people to join a raffle. Even if it's EV+, not many people join.
2. 10% "house edge" is very high.
3. If you're worried about fees, you should use a Bech32 SegWit address instead of legacy.
4. It's better to keep records on the forum. A spreadsheet can be edited and won't act as proof if there's a disagreement. Forum rules allow to post entries for Bitcoin raffles.
5. Anyone can claim a certain transaction was theirs, so you'll need a signed message. It's better to use a unique deposit address for each user.

Still up and running 1 ticket sold
will take suggestions on future rounds I think I should keep this one the same until its over.
