Any plans for a LTC dice site?
LTC? Ew, no!
Again, how can 5% (5 BTC) possibly be equal to 2.06% (2.06 BTC) when we're talking about the same thing (profit) over the same time period (a week) when both are using the same variable (wagered amount)? How much is in the investment pool is irrelevant to any of this discussion.
Profit as a percentage of the total wagered is different that profit as a percentage of the bankroll. Both are interesting numbers. The first tells us how well we performed relative to the 1% house edge. The second tells us how much our contribution to the bankroll grew this week.
Suppose only 1 person bet all week, and they bet just a single satoshi, and that they lost their bet.
The profit for the week would be 100% of the amount wagered, but only very slightly over 0% of the bankroll.
We will have performed 100 times better than expected, but nobody will have made much of a profit at all.
They're two different numbers which gives you two different denominators when calculating the percents.
Exactly this.
