The Degenerate Gambler Talk Thread ....

Is there a way to see who has made the biggest bet ever on SportsHoopla and biggest win. I bet $20K on 49ers +10.5 and won $14000. I know @BusSport AKA Mr. Insider Trading also has made some big bets lately.

...but that's not actually how you calculate house profit.

For those unaware, the above "total handle" and "total won" stats are from the Quick Stats sidepanel.

But the calculation that @tabascojet used to derive "total profit" from those stats isn't actually done quite correctly.

The "total won" figure only includes the amount "won" -- the amount in excess of the winners' stakes, which also get returned. This means we don't actually have enough information in the above statistics to exactly calculate profit, since though we know total stakes (the "total handle" figure), the proportion of total stakes that are winners' stakes is not available. However, if we make the reasonable assumption that odds on winning bets are on average roughly around 100/110, then winners' stakes would be approximately equal to v$4,077,842.21 / (100 / 110) = v$4,485,626.43.

Then house profit would be v$9,128,778.00 - v$4,485,626.43 - v$4,077,842.21 = v$565,309.36.

So house profit has only been around v$600K, not v$5 million.

(This is also ignoring, of course, how vcash comes from the house in the first place, since everyone gets a free starting v$1000 as well as v$100 refills on going bankrupt.)

Welcome to the challenge of rebuilding your bank roll......good luck degenerate!

Whenever I get up to 1300-1800 I go on a losing streak and am constantly (to use a sports term).......rebuilding........

 

[DJ Fieri]

And I'm not greedy either.....I only want to get a nice 4-5k bankroll so I can place larger bets.....250-500, instead of the 25-100 bets I usually place. So frustrated!!!!!

 

[tabascojet]

I finally made the top 20 richest yestrday for the first time......100v it won't last the weekend
