The current situation of you donating your share aside, I was just wondering about the longterm situation. Most people are so ridiculously unaware of situations that they don't realize that if they pile up the investments, that they will basically not generate any EV at all. That why I suggested the [min;max] intervals.
The max interval is unfair on investors, as it would mean they would be put in a position where they risk more than a fully kelly. And if apps want to guarantee some profit, they can already just not accept huge bets. And the min interval makes sense in many case, except when apps want to make balanced bets which don't pose risk to investors (but have a house edge) and suddenly need to pay a comission.
But you're right about the idea of investors piling up, decreasing the EV. It was actually an intentional function of the design. If investors invest, and it's not utilized by having gamblers bet bigger it means the EV drops. So hopefully it's pretty self-regulating.
But its obviously your site

I am just giving some feedback as an investor.
Thanks, it's appreciated it. Sorry I sometimes seem a bit grumpy about it, it's not that I'm not 100% satisfied with it or not considering change it, but it's on a daily basis I have to field complaints from both app developers and investors about not making enough (when in reality, it's just a trade off of who gets what money

).
I'm sympathetic to investors as some of them have lost money (so I'm giving them my commissions for the time being), but I'll tend to side more heavily with apps. Many of them have spent thousands of dollars in development and marketing, and hundreds of hours of time, etc. And without them, investors could have 100% of the profit shares, but still make 0.
Investors on the other hand, have a pretty passive job (although subject themselves to a huge amount of counter-party risk), so as long they're getting a decent return I think that's fair
