effectively, it shouldnt be 53%. . .

assuming all rake forumlas follow the party method (it may not):

RB = X%(MGR)
MGR = rake generated - expenses
rake generated is your share, or contribution to the take

RB total = Affiliate%*(contribution to rake - transaction expenses - 33%*contrib. to rake) + 33%*(contrib. to rake)


example: assume your affiliate gives 20% and you pay 1000$ in rake and incur 0$ in transactoin expenses

RB total = .20( 1000-(.33*1000) ) + .33(1000)
= 464$, or 46.4% RB
