No one can bet +EV on MP bankrolll. App owners have to deposit to their apps if they want to allow +EV bets
I'm not suggesting it is -EV to outside investors, but maybe -EV to MP principals, as a support/promotion mechanism for app developers? I think I saw a post suggesting such ... if I have a moment I'll try to find it.
Lots of questions, let me try to explain.
The MoneyPot engine accepts -EV (Kelly Compliant) wagers against *its own bankroll* for any app. The MoneyPot engine can also service any wager (even +EV wagers) against an apps' individual bankroll. +EV wagers are only accepted when authorized by an app backend; apps that use "implicit flow" (frontend only) do not have this option available to them at all. (LuckyBit Micro and LuckyBit Derby are implicit flow apps.) MoneyPot will not service a +EV wager if the app requesting it does not have the balance to pay it out. This type of bet does not affect investment: the MoneyPot bankroll is untouched.
I thought one question was if an app owner can use his own bank roll with a MP app and if yes how much is the MP share? please correct me if I am wrong.
To answer a few questions:
Apps can be set up to run on their own BR and kick back bets larger than what they can handle to MoneyPot. This takes a bit of extra coding on the app owner's end, and in the future we may or may not allow this if it becomes an issue (i.e. every app starts doing it), right now no active MoneyPot site does this I believe.
As far as app owners betting EV+: This is false. As stingleword said, MoneyPot's bankroll only accepts bets that are Kelly compliant (EV+ for bankroll). App owners do bet on their own sites, however they make up a very minor portion of the site volume.
