Just-Dice.com : now with added CLAMs : Play or Invest

[Timetwister]

Staking is nice, but as long as wagered keeps staying so low, CLAM will eventually drop in price. How much is bet in the casino is what mainly drives the expected return (in USD or BTC) of investing in CLAM and investing them on Just Dice. What's the point of getting many coins of a currency that keeps getting used less and less?

Are there any plans to publicize the casino, so wagered per day rises? CLAM to BTC keeps dropping and dropping. This casino could have way more action considering the fantastic reputation that Dooglus has.

Maybe it's a good idea for anyone who likes the site to put it in the signature here on forum? I'm keeping it there just to show how much fun I had in the chat, if one also goes there from time to time it's the least we can do.

Absolutely a good idea.

0.00053230 BTC per CLAM, what a joke.

I bet I'm not the only investor that would be willing to pay more comission on the investment profits (not on staking*) to get some promotions running, that would for sure increase wagered and the value of CLAM (which depends completely on demand from players to gamble on Just Dice and from investors to invest there if it's attractive enough) at the same time.

Come on! Dooglus has a magnificient reputation (had the chance to steal a 60000+ BTC bankroll, put 1300 BTC from his pocket because of a mistake that probably investors wouldn't had noticed, has been in this forum for many years...) and this is one of the oldest dice sites, with even many regulars on the chat every day. The potential is much bigger than getting a ridiculously low wagered per day of about 1.25% of the bankroll. Sites like Safe Dice are getting a daily wagered of about 13% of the effective bankroll (which in terms of EV would be similar to 6.5% as house edge is 0.5% instead of JD's 1%), and it's newer and the admin doesn't even login here anymore.

*Investing is already barely better than just solo staking nowadays.

I'd invest a good chunk of BTC, if only the site accepted it. But that's not going to happen soon, or at all anymore.

Using CLAM is fine, as they are basically just like Just Dice shares/casino chips, so their value depends entirely on how much interest there's to gamble or invest on Just Dice. Therefore, it isn't vulnerable to "external" factors, and actually there's the possibility it starts having more uses and therefore becoming more valuable.

[Dabs]

I know what they are. It's still not the same. I was around when JD accepted testnet bitcoins. My account is #7. It may take awhile, and it's debatable what other uses CLAM can have that a thousand other different coins can't also have.

The point is that JD "shares/casino chips" don't have a fixed value relative to BTC or any other coin. Sure, I can have 600% CLAM gains, but the equivalent in other coins isn't 600%. Hopefully it's more, but seems to me it's less. For now.

That's not a fault of the site or of the coin, that's just the way it is.

They don't have a fixed value relative to anything else (just like shares in a company don't, their price depends on the future expected earnings), but if everything stays the same it's reasonable to expect the market cap to have an stable USD value. And therefore returns in terms of USD are quite decent, around 20% per year after considering CLAM inflation. In BTC it has been terrible recently (I even traded some BTC for CLAM at the recent 0.002 peak, so you can imagine the size of the debacle in terms of BTC), but long term it should be stable as long as at least wagered in relation to bankroll doesn't decrease. And its value would considerable increase if somehow the casino had more action (or the currency was used somewhere else). The potential is there, it's just a matter of marketing. I wonder if other big investors read this thread and would like to run some promotions to both make CLAM more valuable and get higher returns by investing on Just Dice. I would be in.

Nope, it's on your end.

[Timetwister]

The site down for anyone else?

It works for me.

Also, regarding returns, they have been fantastic in terms of USD (unless, so far, you invested recently). However this is in part thanks to just every cryptocurrency rising in price because BTC did. So, when investing I just estimate the market cap has a constant value in USD (in practice it has been much better than that).

Shortly after introducing the concept of "offsite investment", I made another account and invested at 25x there. I haven't adjusted the offsite amount since then. It is currently sitting at just 11.21x, as the onsite amount grows while the offsite amount stays exactly constant.

Using this data (and prices from https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/clams/ and https://www.investing.com/currencies/btc-usd-historical-data):

7/3/2015:
1 CLAM= $1.72
1 BTC=$277

27/11/2017: 6.1526 CLAM=6.1526*7.42=$45.65; 45.65/1.72=26.54
1 BTC=$5759.6; 5759.6/277=20.79

So in that period of time, returns were not just fantastic (actually they would be a bit better if leverage had been regularly adjusted to 25) in terms of $ but even better than holding BTC. However, if we made the exact same comparison now, BTC would had been a better investment, as it has nearly tripled from late November, while CLAM has slightly dropped.

How much of that price increase, from $1.72 to $7.42 (or more accurately, market cap from $972984 to $20274537, multiplying by 20.84) was caused because of BTC's price increase? Let's check an end point where BTC hadn't risen as much yet:

2/1/2017: 4.0235 CLAM=4.0235*0.849111=$3.416; 3.416/1.72=1.99
1 BTC=$1019.3; 1019.3/277=3.68

In most cases just holding BTC would had been a better strategy. That shouldn't surprise anyone, just holding BTC has been one of the most profitable strategies in the world in the last years. However, I wonder how would had Just Dice returns been if BTC had stayed flat or if it had had more modest and sustainable returns.

If someone was comparing returns from buying CLAM and investing them on JD to those of other investments, then JD has been a fantastic choice. What can we expect in the future?

As long as people keep playing on Just Dice, returns in terms of fiat should be quite good. From my estimates, assuming CLAM's market cap stays constant (which is very conservative), by staking and investing, I expect a 20% annual return in USD. If we consider that CLAM's market cap is positively correlated with BTC's and that it will keep rising (but obviously not at the gigantic rate we have seen until now), then returns in USD would be even higher.

If BTC dropped and that caused CLAM to drop, that could actually increase the demand for this coin by players, as to be able to gamble the same amount of $ you have to buy more CLAM (and the fact that more CLAM are wagered makes buying CLAM by investors also more attractive, so demand also increases by investors).

So all in all, both buying CLAM to stake or to invest them at Just Dice sounds like a good investment to me, and it's in some way diversified from just holding BTC. Long term, as long as people keep playing at Just Dice, I'd expect bigger returns from buying CLAM and investing them than by holding BTC. Also there's the possibility that CLAM starts getting more uses, which would indirectly affect positively those investing at Just Dice.

I agree. Such a nice site, would be good to have more users.  Perhaps place an ads on relevant websites?

Yesterday (Jan 13), noticed amount wagered is about 2.1k...seems like one of the slowest day in the past few months.

What do you mean, an exchange inside the casino, like in Crypto Games or Luckygames?
