agree but for now I will make a sign at the entrance of the Jackpotracer casino

Off Limits to Whales 

Sure, you can always restrict what bets you accept. I'm not sure why you'd want to do that though as the absolute worst case is they max-bet every single bet and you make 0 commissions, but it would be still a huge boon to the casino assuming you're not offering a rakeback or something.

Is it possible to make slot machine bet using MP API?

Yeah, we do support this. If you want to talk to me on slack I'm more than happy to explain how it would be achieved

Lot of action happening on MoneyPot. Almost need to create a newsletter with updates.


But some highlights:

* BetterBets is absolutely killing it, bringing in great volume topping 1000 BTC in a single day. You can see some of their stats charted here: http://dicesites.com/betterbets
* Site bankroll has grown to over 300 BTC
* Our largest bet ever of just over 30 BTC was made, which unfortunately was a loss ending helpmywallet's incredible streak on his app.

Even with that 30 btc loss and skyrocketing total wagered, the investor profit is still pretty much at the same level as 2 weeks ago...

Yes they share the same timer which is good to prevent abuse

also betterbets now has improved,,more player playing there and it make more wager for the site..

Its about time isnt it, why keep playing elsewhere when you can play in a better one but the sad truth will be that some people keep holding on their favourite site despite that a new site has proven to be better by miles however this will soon change 

Even with that 30 btc loss and skyrocketing total wagered, the investor profit is still pretty much at the same level as 2 weeks ago...

Not exactly 30BTC loss as you can check his status (references below), clearly shown that he only lost a total of 4.9 BTC which means that he must have got few profits before losing that 30 BTC and also that since the bankroll is an equity for all the games, some other sites may have one or two winner that bust the house therefore it stays the same ( or atleast slighly increase but infact the investor profit is down by atleast 10 BTC since last week )

Owner gets paid a certain commission for bringing gamblers to the table(approximately half the house edge x wager size for each bet regardless of outcome). This is a risk free profit.

Is this info correct?

It kind of shouldn't be from my understanding of Moneypot.

Not correct, it may seem like it but it is not like this. From my understanding each time someone wager in a site, moneypot will inverse a bet for investor instead which use kelly criterion and then pay the apps wether if the investor win or lose and Moneypot take 50 % of what is paid to the apps owner therefore it seems like it is half of the edge but the fact is that it is not because it depends on the risk investor take as well and if someone attempted to bet at 2BTC with 1.01 chance to win the investor is taking lot of risk therefore what is paid to the apps is lower as well and not of what quantumdice claimed as half of the edge

P.S : this is what my understanding of moneypot is

Actually I think most will suprised how little house edge the investors get on "smaller" bets of like below 0.1 btc (and obv the app+MP relatively much.) On small bets the app gets pretty close to half the edge actually.

On the other hand, on max profit bets the app+MP gets nothing.

To be honest, I am fairly surprised. A lot of things are different that I initially thought lol.
Yeah, it is not unfair tho.

[RHavar]

Yeah, looks like you guys got it =)

On one end of the extreme, if the bet poses no risk to investors the app will get 50% of the house edge. On the other extreme if the bet poses a maximum, fully-kelly risk to investors (e.g. a binary bet risking N% of the bankroll with an N% house edge) the app will get 0% of the house edge (the bet unmodified goes to investors).

The vast majority of the bets are for tiny amounts, so they tend to look like the app makes "50% of the house edge" but it's not exactly the case. Most devs start to notice this when larger, riskier bets come in


E.g. If you look at this bet: https://www.moneypot.com/bets/61529776  it was placed when the bankroll was a little under 300 BTC. The bet was trying to win ~1.5 BTC  with a 1% house edge (a bit over a half-kelly). And thus the app made a commission of ~63000 bits (Which it would've made regardless of win or lose).  As the bet was of ~30 BTC this translates to about 0.21% commission. MoneyPot itself made another 0.21%  and then from there, the investors took it.

Added another btc to my investment future lookin brighter by the week here.

Thanks for the explanation and clarifying, lol.

Okay. So for a 10BTC bet, the investor gets almost everything and for a 10000*0.001BTC bets, the investor gets almost nothing theoretically around 50% (considering edge and commission)?
(that is profit minus commission or lose minus commission) almost nothing, lol.

[arallmuus]

Okay. So for a 10BTC bet, the investor gets almost everything and for a 10000*0.001BTC bets, the investor gets almost nothing.

There is something wrong with this. At a higher risk assuming that a whale decided to bet at the max profit allowed at a site which is currently 3.03 BTC then the investor will get everything if the bet is lost . Everything is translated into a whole 3.03 BTC for the investor's profit without having to pay commission to the apps or moneypot

At the smaller bet like 0.001 BTC , the investor will not get the whole 0.001 BTC assuming that the bet is lost because investor will need to pay the apps and moneypot for the bet so the profit will be 0.001 BTC - the commission for apps and moneypot

tl;dr : each bet lost will go to investor just that some will have lower or none commission depending on what the investor are risking so it is not almost nothing

P.S : the 3.03 BTC is assumed from the site uses the standard edge of 1 %

Well, the commission is not dependent on win or lose as I understand.

Edited the quoted post.

Re-edited. EV is 0 for small bets. It is plain math. Could be wrong, but don't confuse me, lol.

Both of that bet literally gives around 50 % of the edge to the apps owner . The first example got an edge of 0.8 % instead of 1 % and I just did the math that it gave around 50 % of the edge to apps owner ( more or less )

for a 10000*0.001BTC bets, the investor gets almost nothing theoretically around 50% (considering edge and commission)?
(that is profit minus commission or lose minus commission)

The investor gets all of it minus the comission for the apps and moneypot which is around 50 % of the edge to the investor apps and another 50 % to moneypot moneypot takes 50 % commission from it . Profit or lose doesnt affect the comission , assuming someone bet at 0.001 BTC at 2x multiplier and win it the investor will pay 0.001 + commission but if is a lost then the investor will get 0.001 BTC - commission back



Edited some again

Not almost but exactly everything assuming 10 BTC is the max profit which is not the case right now because of the more risk investor bear then the apps wont get any commission

Edited it back. I was right the first time.

Read what you wrote (in bold). All the edge is taken (commission (risk-free) = edge), the EV is 0, so for small bets investor gets nothing.

Hmm sorry I was wrong on this, It should be that moneypot takes 50 % of that is paid to the apps . I must have missunderstood it . will edit my post

we do take a 50% share of all profit you make.

So, Moneypot's commission is not risk free

A theoretical 50% would mean a risk-free one, as you mentioned first. But the other one would mean a subject to risk kind of commission. Only on profits or both on profits and losses?

IMO, FAQ is too vague.

[arallmuus]

So, Moneypot's commission is not risk free

Im not literally understand what do you mean by risk free but for me it is a risk free profit because the result of the bet doesnt matter . All that matters would be the wagered amount, assuming that it is a small wager than apps will get a commission from it and moneypot will take 50 % share from it but if it posing a risk to the investor which is at the max profit then apps wont get any commission and moneypot will not get any as well.

Clearly this is risk free because moneypot and apps are not risking anything , bankroll is funded by investor and no matter if someone win a huge one then the one that will pay for it will be the investor

Only on profits or both on profits and losses?

Both
