Hi,

A quick question regarding the investment leverage.

Do I understand it correctly that the 10x leverage isnt actually a "real" 10x leverage and you wont loose your investment if the bankroll drops 10%.

This would only be the case if most investments were made without leverage and I would be the only one with 10x leverage.

But due to the fact that 95% of the investments are with 10x leverage this makes it effectively only about 1.05x leverage.

Do I understand that correctly?

If you invest at 10x, you gain the same profit as if you had invested 10 times your originally invested amount (example: 0.05BTC at 10x would earn the same share as 0.50BTC on 1x) however if the site loses 10% of it's effective bankroll, you lose your entire investment. I'm not sure what you mean by "Do I understand it correctly that the 10x leverage isn't actually a 'real' 10x leverage"
because it definitely is real, and functions like every other 10x leverage.

As for the second part, no, it's still a 10x leverage, because of the factor above. Losses are calculated from the effective bankroll (the real one), not the leveraged bankroll (the bankroll taking into account the leveraging). Since everyone else investing at 10x would lose 100% of their investment if the effective bankroll dropped 10% from when they invested, it does not change your leveraging.

The only thing that would technically effect how much you would earn from investing compared to other investors, is the amount you're investing (and of course if the site is losing or winning lol).

EDIT: Ethan_nx wrote a very nice description in the FAQ (found here: https://yolodice.com/#faq) that describes investing, leveraged investing, and it even provides examples to help your understanding.
