Does anybody know what proportion of bankroll investors are actually playing and betting at Bustabit? If as an example devans (however unlikely) decided to return the bankroll and fund the site himself, how many of those bankroll investors that play there because they have invested - would stop betting there?

If for example 50% of all users betting at Bustabit are bankroll investors then there would be a large chunk of those that would stop betting there if they withdrew their bankroll, right? So would the website be as profitable and successful without the present bankroll structure? I think the status quo suits everybody so there is no need to change anything.

All this talk of advertisement has people missing the main point: When you run a crowd-funded bankroll dice/crash site, the most effective marketing you can have is having the largest bankroll/betting limits/# of investors. It's an immediate boost to credibility and bankroll investors act as co-owners of sorts driving traffic to the site since it's in their best interest - and thereby not pushing/promoting other sites where they deem their investment to be more profitable. If, for example, Daniel decided tomorrow to eliminate bankroll investors and fund the site himself, it would have a large detrimental affect on the betting volume on the site if all other factors remained the same. As long as he has the biggest bankroll and largest # of investors, Bustabit will continue to crush it.

I'd guess the number of investors who are also regular players is somewhere below 10%. Makes it *extremely* -ev to divest and reinvest in bankroll frequently.
