why Pokershare will fail

ThePinkBunny · #1 09-10-2005, 02:23 PM

Pokershare, a new UB skin which promises to share the profits with their players, will not succeed, because they're player base will not grow.

This has to do with diminishing returns for newer players. Similar to pyramid schemes where people make money till the bottom falls out, there's a similar phenomenon that happens here. Their player stock becomes diluted overtime to the point where the value of playing there decreases, which will get to the point where there are many better rakeback and bonuses out there, and no reason to continue to play there.

Now being that it just started, it may be worth it to try and get in early and you might make a nice return before the dilution becomes such a problem.

Not if you sign up with unmentionable. The 40% of future profits is just the cherry on top.

or maybe pokershare will fail because they are with a crappy pokersite. UB = crap bonus, tightwad players, crappy games

No, you cannot.

Your analysis is way off base. The deal may actually get better as time goes on. (More revenue to cover the fixed expenses generated by the site).

Think about it, if you don't understand I will type out why later.

How much is the fixed expenses? That would be my biggest question.

Thank you,

Anyone want to bet me that the very first payout (after the first quarter) is so small per player as to be worthless? I'll set the hourly return at 25-cents.

If Party offered it's players in the beginning the same deal, how many millionaires would there be now?

Not many, my guess zero.

Whether you play 1,000 hands on day one or 1,000 hands on day 500, you own the same amount of the profits.

This is not like Microsoft if you owned 5% of the company in the beginning you would be rich.

A share is a diminishing unit each and every hand played on the site.
