Also high on the list is allowing investors to select their own risk profile. Currently every investor offers up 1% of his investment to be lost on each roll. Some would like to be able to risk more per roll, getting a bigger share of the action with correspondingly greater risks.
I think with this feature it's very important to have some investment management tools, such as
- (email?) alerts when the investment goes below or above a certain threshold
- automatic divestment when above a certain threshold
- an investment-only pay-in address - funds sent there are automatically invested.
This is needed for those that want to be their own "cold storage", that is, maintain
an investment of (for example) 1% but keep most their funds off-site.
The alerts feature is the most important. Without it it's easy to be losing money on higher-percentage investments.
And if you are wondering reading this - yes, it's possible to be losing money in the long run
being on the "house" side.
