3 player currently making 100btc+ bets, holy hell...
Don;t you wish the max profit was 1% so we could have even higher variance? Mechs, you amaze me. You do realize that the more players we have doing near max profit bets the lesser variance we have, right? And YES, I'd like to have full Kelly again, as 99% of investors who understand how math works. If it hurts seeing your investment going up and down, don't invest in a casino, or invest less coins in it. You known using half kelly is not uncommon? Argumentum ad auctoritatem

So with 10 BTC investment you can theoretically earn 1.25 from 5K profit swing?
5000 / 40.000 * 10 = 1.25
Let's assume there will be 5 x 5k profit swings in a day, it could earn you about 6.25 Bitcoins with a 10 BTC investment if you step in and out at the right time. This is without taking divesting fees into account.
theoretically. timing invest/divest is impossible, however (akin to predicting coinflips - dont get fooled by randomness)

holy crap from -6k to +1 in minutes. insane. insane day.. half of volume from creation til yesterday was bet today.. Wow people retracted 10K bitcoins from their investments in a few hours.
em, we went from +5k to -6k, thats a 11k wipe in equity. it appears people are staying in.. I don't think the profit affects the equity? not percentual, however the amount invested decreases/increases with loss/profit Really, I feel spiritually changed.

If you know there is going to be huge variance then you could invest low and divest high. Of course you could be missing on profits but its better than losing money. If you know there is gonna be 1k btc profit swing you could make use of that.

If you can't predict the direction, doesn't it mean that the house can go bankrupt? Because when you enter at -5k, there's a high chance it will go back to zero due to the house edge? Or am I wrong?

You are wrong, that's what Kelly is for. 1% of the bankroll is an ever decreasing number if the house continues to lose.

going up or down at any point is symmetrical, with regards to probability. This is the same illusion when one discusses stock prices or forex. If you can't predict the direction, doesn't it mean that the house can go bankrupt? Because when you enter at -5k, there's a high chance it will go back to zero due to the house edge? Or am I wrong?
the chances are the same as going from +5k to +10k

You are wrong, that's what Kelly is for. 1% of the bankroll is an ever decreasing number if the house continues to lose. So it's like Zeno's paradox. Since you can only lose 1% of your bankroll at a time , you'll never lose your whole bankroll. But, then it doesn't really matter because, 0.99^25 = 22% lost 0.99^50 = 40% bankroll reduction 0.99^100= 63% bankroll lost 0.99^200= 87% bankroll lost It's like the martingale theory. What's the chance that you'll lose 50 times in a row?
