As for whether it's silly, I guess the site is happy, because they can say "we have the biggest max profit of any BTC dice site", and I expect the whale investor is happy, because he's getting most of the profits. The only people who might not be happy are the smaller investors. But I guess the site can do without those anyway?
Thanks to NLNico and Dooglus for breaking this down. I remember when WoW came into the chat and asked for this. I now see the angle for why he was so insistent that Alex do this.
I think the small investors are important in this case because it is the non-leveraged investors that are providing the stability for the max bet amount. If all investors were at x10 then the max bet would fluctuate dramatically as whales won or lost.
Dooglus I know you often commented that you had a lot of small investors and more investment than you needed, I wonder if bitdice.me will ever get to that point and then not need to offer this in order to have the largest max bet, especially given the cut back over on primedice.
Thanks to you both again.
