How it works:
1) PM me the site you want to play at.
2) I will give you my referral link.
3) You play.
4) You win, you take home the profits, you lose, you get a per cent of your net loss back.

I just checked PRC's affiliate program. If you refer me, and I wager less than 1000 BTC, you get 0.01% of the amount I wager. Since the house edge is 1%, that is expected to be around 1% of the amount I lose.

So your expected earnings from my play would be the same as my expected refund from you. That makes your insurance policy have an expected profit of 0 for you. So why would you offer it?

Edit: maybe when you said "a per cent" you meant "an (unspecified) percentage". I interpreted it as "one percent", but you probably don't mean that.

Edit2: do you offer the service on satoshidice too? Their referral program is very strange in that if you refer a winner they charge you 10% of their losses. Smiley
