The only thing i learned from that is that if an account seems unlucky run from it .
I think it's the wrong lesson. How it seems at the start is entirely unrelated to how it seems later on. For example, check out the highlighted line in this chart - it has a horrible start, but ends up doing pretty well: The only thing lesson to take away from these charts is that the variance with a 1% edge is huge. Most of the times you prove my stuff wrong lol.

Anyone knows why CLAM price is going down ? Is there a new digger whale ? Anything I should know and I don't ? Thx for your answers Looks like someone withdrew around 7k from Just-Dice and sold it. I see people in the Just-Dice chat complaining about how they feel betrayed by such behaviour. But shouldn't people be allowed to sell if they want to without incurring our wrath? Sure they should be allowed. In fact those complaining complain only because the worth of their own clams are dropped and they can't sell it anymore now for the higher price... for the moment. So it really is not worth a complaint, when one would have no intention of selling at one point in time, which no one can say of itself, then it wouldn't matter what the price is. So these complaints are only saying someone other dropped my potential selling price. Well, now it is a buying price. Though i think for a seller it would be smarter to do a public auction or something. There are enough people who would buy and most probably this person would receive way more than he would by dumping a big amount of clams on an exchange.

This is something I've never understood. Someone always does that -- dumping and losing 80-90% of their value in the process. You can exit most coins over a period of just a week or so by doing smaller sales.

He pushed the price constantly, lowering his profits on the way even further by pushing others to go out. On the other side, maybe selling such a huge amount of clams would have been too hard? Don't know if so big buyers are out there.

Don't know if so big buyers are out there. It's not hard. You just stagger the sales. With CLAM it's ridiculously easy due to volume. Basically, let's say you want to exit asap and the price is 0.001 BTC. You would list: 5% 0.001 5% 0.0099 5% 0.0098 and keep going down. Which does two things: 1) it creates a bit of a wall which usually pushes the price UP instead of down, and 2) minifies the damage done by a dump.

Hi, I did some math on my commision history and I figured out, that if you have offsite less than 6 you are paying more on the staking fees, that you make on the bankroll.
I am investing on JD since January last year. Without offsite my bankroll profit would be 5 CLAMs while my staking profit is 300. It means I "paid" 30 CLAMs on staking fees while get only 5 on bankroll.
With offsite 10x its still ok, but if you are using offsite 1x is investing on JD pointless (in case you are investing only because of bankroll profit).

I believe what said is irrelevant, staking and bankrolling are separated profits with separated commissions. And yes, since most of the investors want to be bankroll too and they use offsite they take more risk hence more profits, if there was no offsite at all your win/loss per bet would be the same as if everyone was full offsited, atleast i think, someone correct me if im wrong.

I don't know if you understand how it works or not, so I'll explain: 1) Bankroll profits are charged 10% commission on new net profits at the end of each week. 2) Staking profits are charged 10% commission at source. So if in a week you earn 10 CLAMs from staking and 10 CLAMs from bankrolling, you will pay 1 CLAM commission twice and end up with 18 CLAMs profit. You seem to be saying that if you are at offsite 6x then the staking profit is 10 times the bankroll profit, and so the commission on staking is equal to the profit from bankrolling. That may be the case, but I don't understand your point. What of it? If your bankroll profit didn't cover your staking commission you're still making a profit on both. Currently, CLAM inflation is pretty high, and so staking rewards tend to swamp bankroll profits. The rate of inflation drops constantly, and so over time we can expect bankroll profits to become increasingly significant.

I think his point is that in that scenario he would be better of just staking the coins himself since the 10% he pays in staking fees is not covered by the additional revenue source of just-dice.

Oh, of course! And he's right in that case. Even if the bankroll rewards did cover the staking fee it might still be better to stake the coins yourself to avoid the risk of losing coins to a lucky player, site hack, or doog-running-off-with-the-coins scam. I set the staking commission high in an attempt not to monopolize CLAM staking. It hasn't worked, but at least the incentives to solo-stake are in place.

Thanks superbit for better explanation :-) I decided to stake myself now, just to help decentralisation of clams (as I would make more or JD with offsite 10x)
