I'm surprised nobody has called JD "dishonest and shameful"... or maybe they have and I just missed the drama.

Fun fact: not a single person has ever been "margin called" on JD. Probably because the bankroll is so large compared to the size of bets that happen that there's never a significant percentage downturn in the bankroll.

Even if you're at 25x offsite, the bankroll needs to draw down 4% before anyone is margin called. The current bankroll is 19.6 million, so the site would need to lose 784,000 CLAMs to cause the riskiest investor to get margin called. That's 8 max-profit bets. (JD max profit is 0.5% of the bankroll).

It's not impossible, but it does seem pretty unlikely.

All it takes is a whale betting 9 million CLAM at 99%

Slightly different question - is there a reason why "leverage" or "offsite" on BAB and JD is not percentage-based but a fixed amount? I.e. if I have 5 coins onsite, I might want to set offsite to 100% of onsite instead of 5 coins and that way offsite could go up or down. This would make the whole EBG- theory of the last few pages more in line with reality.
