The issue with BAB is that it's a volatile game, so it doesn't work too well with an atomic bankroll.

Sorry for a possibly dumb question, what does the "volatile" and "atomic" mean in this context?

Atomic means it's updated constantly (i.e., a dice site updates their bankroll after every single roll).
Volatile is in the sense that BAB will have massive up and down swings, but it's not atomic (rather than knowing how much is going to be lost on each roll, it's constantly changing. For example, what if there's 100 BTC invested, and someone makes a bet of 1 BTC and then uninvests his 50 BTC and wins 10?).

I see. So the current Moneypot system can only work with games that the bet result is known immediately, but not games like blackjack, right?

Pretty much. Otherwise investors could use the information from partially completed games to know to invest or divest. There's some clever things you can do to get around that, but it's not been done (and would require an infeasible amount of work, at this stage)

[NLNico]

In theory it is a somewhat possible by making the logic "if divest, keep investment till current games are finished, new games don't include divested amounts". There would be a bit of a problem of potentially offering a "too big max profit" on those "new games" that started while "current games" are not finished. But that shouldn't matter too much I think (it should be a small difference.) PRC did something like that when they had investor-backed BJ.


But I understand it's not the focus or priority atm and a lot of difficult work.

But how would you determine the amount? Let's say I have 100 BTC and that's 50% of the bankroll. I choose to divest, and the next game starts. Players lose 200 BTC. Did I just divest 100 of my 200 or all 200 of my 200?

[NLNico]

That sounds more like a UI issue? Could show like popup "Game still running.. will divest after current games are finished" then "We divested 100 BTC. You still have x invested". And in addition there could be a "divest all" button that just gets all after current games finished. Etc. Pretty sure that's all possible. Or you don't mean that?

That'd work fine for a game like bustabit, but the more you generalize, the harder it gets. If a player gets disconnected say playing blackjack, they'd reasonably expect they can finish the game tomorrow, but that wait is a pretty hard sell for divestors.

Anyway, I think it's a solvable problem and have played with several ways to do it. But it's not something I foresee adding to MP any time soon

I Want to ask
if I invested my money, can i take my money back at any time ?

Yeah, you just own a stake in the bankroll which you can claim back at any time.

oh okay I will try to invest 0.1 btc, how much profit can I get per day ??

Do you happen to have any other unique games you are planning to make? With BAB's success, I think you could really make something else unique that catches on.

It varies a lot. If you happened to invest yesterday, you would actually get a loss as the total investor profit went from ~92 to ~88.

Here's a look at my daily profit over the last 6 days. It's obviously not an entirely accurate representation given the small amount of time I've had a stake in the site for. I also divested all of the funds before the majority of the losses occurred yesterday but then invested the funds back into the site after the worst of it was over. I'll post another snapshot when I have more data available.

[knowhow]

Well which feature is that one giving 0,03 btc daily income tell me more about those im interested on it ,need to know more about,seems interesting.

There is no such feature.
One way to make 0.03 BTC daily is to create an app and get at least 6 BTC wagered per day.

well,
it turns out, my investments can be reduced as well?
i think again to invest

This is a very nice and useful app for gambler I might say. it really gives players a very nice gui to manage their stack.
Keep it comming.

We will consider the private bankroll of small bets as you stated as well. This is not ideal for attracting smaller bankroll players regardless

Why not? Players don't care which bankroll they're playing against so long as they can make the bets they want to make.

I know pokercoin.casino is going with a split-bankroll, so they can support dust bets (and get the money from it) and only forward us the larger bets. It's probably quite an elegant solution on this issue.

One problem I can see with it is that the server seed is going to be different for the two bankrolls isn't it?

You're going to have to present the player with two different seed hashes, one for if they bet to win over a threshold and the other for under it. Gamblers can be a suspicious lot, and having two different seeds, one for big bets and one for small could turn them off.

Uh, yeah. If it were risk-free, why would they allow investors? You're risking your money as part of the bankroll, in return for profit (if there is any). It's a simple relationship.

You answered the why not in your second response, 2 different seeds which makes it not ideal. RHavar agreed to hold off though on this so it is currently a non issue. As you probably can tell I was not fighting for casino income but rather inclusion of small bankroll players who only have satoshi's to bet.

When/if it's implemented, are you planning to have your own investment bankroll players can invest in (for the micro bets)?

if you are right then it would be bad for the casino OP. so I hope you are wrong

do you think that there is maybe a solution for this problem? I am sure that if there is a solution for this problem then you will know it
