Hello all, maybe some of you know I am selling silver bars at bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307826.new#newI have idea about raffle. Would someone be interested in ? Basic rules: (fixed number of tickets, sorry my fault)
Prize: 100grams of Silver (100x1g bar) Number of "tickets" = 50 Prize of 1 ticket = 0.01 Btc (for this round of raffle) Max 5 tickets per username
Raffle will start in a few daysWinner will be randomly chosen when 50 tickets will be sold. How to choose winner ? Lets say there will be "magic number" between 1 - 100 and this "magic number" will be chosen before raffle begins and some gold member can choose this number to prevent any manipulation from my side Every participant will have to guess this number .. 1 ticket = 1 guess .... Winner will be the one, whos guess will be nearest to this "magic number" Example: Magic number is 65 .... Everyone who ownes 1 ticket (1 guess) ..or more tickets (2 tickets = 2 guesses) will guess their numbers ... like 1 3 4 6 9 10 59 77 99 .... so number 59 is nearest to magic number so person who guessed number 59 is winner ... I will send 100grams of silver to winner ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If there will be interest in raffle, we can make another round anytime in future. Would someone be interested in such raffle ? PS: please correct my grammar mistakes ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) thank you

I would lower the raffle price, and sell more raffles. People would be a lot more interested if they can enter the raffle for 0.01 or 0.005.
Thank you for your idea, I was thinking about that, but in such situation, (0.01 per ticket) ... there needs to be sold 50 tickets and it can take long time until all tickets are sold ...

Yes, and you should only allow 1 ticket / person.

Yeah Id play for 0.01 but Im not going to throw away 0.05, I think you would sell the many smaller entries faster than a few large entries.

This sounds like a good compromise! I understand your idea boys ..but ... I am afraid that 50 people is too many. We can find 10 - 20 maybe 30 people who would like to participate and what then .. we will wait 1 - 2 - 3 months to start raffle until all tickets are sold ? Allow few days to settle down this topic, I can change rules as you mentioned (0.01 per ticket and 5 tickets per user) and we can try 1st round then

This sounds like a good compromise! I am afraid that 50 people is too many. 1 person can still buy 5 tickets and fill 10% of the tickets, can they not?

Current 100 g of silver = about usd $65
10 x 0.01 btc = 0.1 btc *$450 = $45.
$45 - $65 = -$20.
Did I get my math right?
You are actually making a loss based on the current market price for both BTC and Silver?

fixed number of ticket to 50 - sorry my fault, now everything looks like be allrightthere are 50 tickets ... no I am not making loss ... and 100 g of silver for 65 is spot price, if you have real bullion silver price is higher, if you have 1 gram bars - productions costs are higher so price per gram is also higher 100x1 gram bars are not best for price per gram ratio .... thats fact, but they can be easily divided to 1gram bars ... with 1oz or 10oz or 1 kilo full bar ..dividing to smaller ones are not so easy my 100x1g are selling for aprox 160 usd (ebay etc) 1000 g bar is selling for aprox 1000 usd you can see there is better price per gram ratio, but small 1gram bars have advantages mentioned above

And how do you enforce the 5 max? Some people have 2 accounts, or more. If they pay, let them have the same odds.
