Welcome to the Roulette stock market.

this is a test thread, which may result in further stock exchanges.
kudos to gxfu for the initial idea
if this works, someone else may take over and run it.

1. the starting prize is 50 rupees for 1 share

2. whenever a buying transaction is done (the buying of 1 or more shares by one person), the prize will go up with 2,5% per share. when you buy 3 shares, the second will be 2,5% more expansive than the first, the third will be more expensive than the second etc.

2a if a buyer doesnīt pay, other buyers after him will get a refund according to the price change. (ie all shares after the non-payer will be 2,5% cheaper)

3. whenever a selling transaction is done (the selling of 1 or more shares by one person), the prize will go down with 2,5% per share.

4. if you buy or sell multiple shares at once, they no longer go for the same price. Every share after the first will be cost 2,5% less or more than the one before.

5. do not donate money immediately, or expect money to be donated to you instantly. post here what you want to buy or sell, and i will take care of the finances according to the prizes at the moment of your post. this of course, may take some time.

6. Why buy a share?
For each share you have, youīll get a percentage of the profit of the Roulette wheel. The percentage depends on the number of shares sold: 50 shares means 2 percent per share. the percentage will never be more than 5% regardless of the total number of shares. when you have multiple shares yourself, the percentage could be more than 5%

7. also, whenever the bank wins in Roulette, the price of a share will go up 10%. whenever the bank loses, the price of a share will drop 10%.


8. why trade shares?
you can make money purely by trading! try to buy shares when theyīre cheap, and sell them when theyīre expensive!

9. I will regularly post updates here with an overview of whoīs got shares, what people who ordered shares must pay, and how much people selling shares will receive.

10. there is no set maximum number of shares. We'll see if we can get a natural max...

this will be some work, and all criticisms and ideas are welcome...
if this can be incorporated into some bigger stockmarket, iīm all for it :)

ask all questions you may have, and the answers will be edited into this post if relevant.

go!

edit: does that mean its 50 for the first one, and 55 for the second? or 100 for both?

that would be 100 for both.

youīre buying them at the same time, after you the prize goes up.

please donate 100 rupees to me

current prize after your buying is: 55
(iīll make it +5 or -5 after each transaction)

*donating now*

Cap'n Zola
03-05-2004, 11:38 PM
2 shares before anyone else snaps 'em up!

2 shares would be Ģ115, yeah?

What percentage of the profit would share-holders get?

EDIT/ Ah, just seen the bit about percentages, I couldn't read it when I was editing..

Gnome General
03-05-2004, 11:41 PM
Gotta buy quick...one share!
60 rupies?

Edit: Now that I got my purchase on the record, I can make some comments. Brilliant idea PoofBird! gxfu's stock market didn't really make sense, but since the roulette thread is like a business, there are factors to affect stock price. A suggestion: once a bunch of shares are purchased (100?), assuming that happens, stop selling them. Then, the shareholders can sell their shares to people at whatever the price is at that moment. That would make it like a real stock.

PoofBird
03-05-2004, 11:42 PM
after jonnyffmaster bought, the prize is 55 per share.

therefor, Capīn zola pays 110 rupees for 2 shares

currently there are 4 shares sold
that means both of you get 10% of the roulette winnings

a share can yield a max of 5%

edit: gnome general buys one share for 60 rupees and will receive 5% of the winnings

current price: 65 rupees

titanic

oh oh pick me pick me

will the ammount of shares be capped?

what sort of divedend can we expect?

PB, read up if you didn't catch my last edit. I also have a question. If you lose money on the roulette wheel, do we have to pay a percentage of that loss? I would assume so if you want this to be realistic and to work well, but you didn't mention it.

titanic
03-05-2004, 11:53 PM
thats not what happens with real stocks the companys just dont pay out any divedends

euro tunnel havent payed out in years

The ideas great, and withing the betting area, it would work great if all the thread owners where to work together with the stock market.

However, the problem is every other thread. The non-profit threads. What exactly would I gain from buying a share in say..'Pics of you'. Yes, it would mean that I 'own' 5% or whatever the rate is at that moment, but 5% of what? The only way would be to buy a share in the threads owner, and I dont think thats a good idea at all.

Basically, I think the stock market would work well in betting threads, but outside non-profit threads might be difficult....though I am getting ideas on how it could, and I mean COULD work..*thinks*

it might be realistic for you to pay when i loose, but it would be impossible to carry out...
iīd have to trust all of you, and i donīt ;)

besides that, the roulette always wins in the end, statistically.
and i donīt care for the winnings, i have all i need. iīll be happy to deal them out in a game like this.,

i probably will stop selling them at one point. not sure when though, weīll have to see how it goes.
probably weīll get a natural point where shares are both sold and bought.
the popularity of the roulette itself may also effect this. if no-one bets, the dividend is low.

@titanic-weebl:
the dividend is the percentage of the roulette winnings of the bank.
your shares go for 130 rupees. please donate them to me.
capīn zola, please donate your 110 euros to me.

(if a buyer doesnīt pay, the buyers after him will get a refund accordingly, as the price will go down.)

Well, you don't get reverse dividends, but if a company loses money, the share price generally goes down. But in this scenario, the price would not necessarily go down if the roulette table loses money, since people would not necessarily sell. By making us pay for losses, people would be more inclined to sell, further driving the price down. I think it would make it more realistic that way.

Hot Piss! I got here early. I'm assuming that the price went up to 70 after titanic-weebl bought, so I'll buy one share. Rupies are on their way.

This is genius, the roulette thread is amazingly popular, and now that I've got a custom title I don't care anymore if I lose all my rupies on a failing investment

titanic
04-05-2004, 12:00 AM
if al this comes to an end (ie an admin decides that all this betting ad shares is an abbuse of the rupie system) do we get refunds or should we all just sell?

jonffm
04-05-2004, 12:05 AM
I think we sould all just forget about it if it all g'os pear-shaped.

Poofbird is obviously going to try to make it work, and I think it'll be unfair if it doesn't that we all hassle her for refunds.
At this point, I think you should just think 'i'v either lost a few rupies, or bought the biggest investment on the forums'

7. also, whenever the bank wins in Roulette, the price of a share will go up accordingly. whenever the bank loses, the price of a share will drop.
the amounts of rises and drops are yet to be calculated, and depend on the roulette wheel.

10. there probably be a maximum number of shares that can go around. weīll see about that while we play.


jonnyffmaster 2 shares 10%
capīn zola 2 shares 10%
gnome general 1 share 5%
titanic weebl 2 shares 10%
darkninja 1 share 5%

current price is 75 rupees

edit:

you may continue to place bets while iīm away.
when i return i will calculate the prices.
please do not pay before i get back.
capīn zola, you still owe me ;)

double post tastic:

iīve decidced that the stock-prices rise to fast.

instead of 5 rupees at a time, it will be 1 rupee.

this means the share i sold for 55 is actually 51, and the one i sold for 60 is actually 52.
people will get a refund.

the current share prize is therefor:
55

get your Roulette Share for 55 rupees!

Out of curriosity, what percentage of the roulette profits are you selling? At the moment, its nicly tucked in at 50%, but will that rise? Or is 50% the highest amount that will go to be split between stock owners?

where do you get that 50%?

in theory they get all the profits, except never more than 5% per share (in case there are less than 20 shares around)
with 20, every share gets 5
with 50, every share gets 2
with 100, every share gets 1

when i find i am loosing too much money on this myself (i donīt think i will), i might deal myself in for 10% or so... but probably not.

jonffm
04-05-2004, 07:51 AM
The 50% came from ..

jonnyffmaster 2 shares 10%
capīn zola 2 shares 10%
gnome general 1 share 5%
titanic weebl 2 shares 10%
darkninja 1 share 5%
seaempty 2 shares 10%

Added together gives 50%, so 50% of the profits would go to shareholders, and 50% to yourself.
But since your allowing all of your profits to be sold off as shares, then thats easy.

Thats Ģ290 I believe :D

Does that mean I get 25%?

PoofBird
04-05-2004, 11:16 AM
indeed, please donate that money to me

jonnyffmaster 2 shares 10%
capīn zola 2 shares 10%

darkninja 1 share 5%
seaempty 2 shares 10%
insertnamehere 2 shares 10%
work? 2 shares 10%
Angrypaul 5 shares 25%

total shares: 19

current price: 60 (it went up 2 rupees, as AngryPaul bought no less than five shares)

yes, youīll get 25%
but when the total number of shares gets more than 20, the percentage you get will slowly drop, as we have to share with everyone :)

freddiestarfish
04-05-2004, 02:43 PM
Ill have 2 for now.

thats Ģ120 for you.



Anyone wishing to buy some shares and play the market can always get a loan from the friendly people at the old timers loan co.

PoofBird
04-05-2004, 02:58 PM
yes, please donate me the 120 rupies

as we have more than 20 shares now, the profit will be slighly less than 5% per share.

That is, if all the buyers pay me in time.
if they donīt, they will not receive during this spin. that would make the factual shareholders less than 20, so everyone could get their max 5% per share.

as we have more than 20 shares, the profits will slightly go down for all.
this means from now on, the prices will go up or go down with 2 rupies after each transaction.

current price: 62 rupies per share

6x Ģ69 = Ģ414

Price after should go up by two becasue MUG bought more than 5 so it should be 71

i own 6 shares now

right i need to work out some things then as i am placing all my shares and divedends in an excell spread sheet to calculate my winning and stuff for me

how much divedend do i get PER SHARE

is it payed out after every roulette spin takes place?

PoofBird
05-05-2004, 12:36 AM
ok,

currently i have sold 45 shares.

this means divident is getting lower and lower :)

it has a max of 5% per share, but will naturally get less when there are more than 20 shares

currently, the divident is 2,22% per share

now, since the bank lost, the price of shares is going down.
also, no divident is paid, as there is no profit.

it was: 76 rupies

it now is 71 rupies

you may sell your shares at any time, if you donīt trust the divident.
but remember, statistically the bank always wins in the end, so the shareholder does too.

mr stabby 10 shares 234

eiderf 1 share 23

your first earnings are in!

current price to buy or sell shares is 81(last transaction)+2(new transaction)+5(price rises when the bank wins) = 88 rupies

@sheep go moo: i refunded your purchase. please buy and sell at the current price.
and I repeat: because the prices change with every transaction, do not instantly donate me the money. Give me and yourself some time to calculate and check the right price. When people send me their money instantly, mistakes will occur.

Have you decided yet if there will be a set number of shares? 100 seems logical, and we will get to that point very soon probably, so you should announce it. If you do cap it at 100 shares, I'll buy one more. If you don't, I won't.

PoofBird
09-05-2004, 11:50 PM
i think there will be natural max of shares, as people will start selling shares at some point...

because of that, there would be no need to cap it.

on the other hand, i have some fun ideas about what to do if people would want to buy beyond the maximum number of shares.

*ponders*

no, i will not cap it yet at any number... I'll observe the trade some more, and except it to come to a nice balance somewhere... then i will decide a maximum.

Gnome General
09-05-2004, 11:57 PM
I was just thinking, and I believe I found a small flaw in the mechanics of this system. If someone were to sell you a share, the price would go down, yes? They could then immediately buy it back at a lower price, and make a small profit. Doing this repeatedly or with many shares could provide a way to easily exploit the system.
If anybody tries to do this before PoofBird has a chance to think about it, bad things will happen. Bad things.

PoofBird
10-05-2004, 12:01 AM
there will always be new ways to cheat the system, as with the roulette thread itself...

i try not to fill it all up with extra rules...
I'll deal with it when such a thing occurs.

the same would apply to a real stock market, but the individual doesn't have a noticable influence there. He has here.

I probably just wouldn't sell if such a thing occured.

I reserve the right to change the rules at any time.
Rules are here to keep the game fun for everyone.
Rules are changed to increase fun.

PoofBird
10-05-2004, 08:02 AM
for the 10th time:

do NOT donate me the money instantly, as we have to agree on the price.

I will deal with all requests in the order they are posted, so there is no risk when you do not donate immediately.

Sheep Go Moo ordered an additional 2, at 143 rupies = 286 (received)

then the price rises with 5%
143+5% = 150

Dead ordered another 2, at 150 rupies = rupies
he already paid 296. I willneed another 4 rupies.

after this, the price rises again with 5%
150+5% = 158

Blueberrymuffin ordered a share after that, at 158 rupies
I received 143, wrong price, and need another 15 rupies

total = 91 shares

Current dividend per share = 1,10 %

current price is a wooping 166 rupies!

poof you realise that mr. stabby has left the forums and he has 10 shares if you profit he will also profit meaning rupies going to waste

i thought of that yes. I will declare his shares void! Or no, i will confiscate them! or will i?
well, he paid good money for it, so if he decides to come back, heīll still have them. I just wonīt pay profit to him while he is away.

and, to keep this thing going, the bank (moi) will need some income.
Iīm not in it for the profit, but if itīs going to cost me money, the game will die. Also: this is a game like anyother, and games get more fun when there is a little risk involved.

Currently, when the bank wins, all the money goes to you. I get nothing.
When the bank loses, i pay the difference.

So, I will from now on take 10% of the winnings, for the sole purpose of keeping the game going. Share holders will divide the other 90%

I may seem to have a lot of money, but thatīs all rupies i could easily loose when people sell their shares, or get extraordinairy lucky at the wheel. I wonīt use it to buy stuff.

Now, another important thing:
change in the price calculation
currently, the prices rise or fall with 5% after each transaction. This proofs not to work realistic when people buy or sell multiple shares.
Averagely, there are 2 shares per transaction, so iīm setting the percentage at 2,5% per share per transaction.

What does this mean for you?
If the price is, say, 150, and you want to buy 4 shares, all four shares will cost 150 rupies. After that the price rises with 4 times 2,5% cummulatively.
150 +2,5% = 154
154 +2,5% = 158
158 +2,5% = 162
162 +2,5% = 166

If you donīt agree with this, you can always sell your shares.

hang on a bit, while i calculate the pays.

15-05-2004, 12:47 PM

PoofBird
15-05-2004, 12:58 PM
after the spin, 2147 goes to the shareholders.

the bank keeps 10% = 215 rupies

1932 rupies will be paid to 88 shares.

every share receives 1,14%

Angrypaul 13 shares = 286 rupies
dead 11 shares = 242 rupies
(mr stabby 10 shares) frozen shares due to absent shareholder
titanic weebl 10 shares = 220 rupies
mug 6 shares = 132 rupies
sheep go moo 5 shares = 110 rupies
capīn zola 4 shares = 88 rupies

empty pie dish 3 shares = 66 rupies
the basstard 3 shares = 66 rupies

3v1l |\/|1NiOn 2 shares = 44 rupies

dark ninja 1 share = 22 rupies
eiderf 1 share = 22 rupies
gxfu 1 share = 22 rupies
plasticvicar 1 share = 22 rupies

The bank won, so the price rises 10% to 178 rupies

total = 88 shares (+10 frozen shares)

Current dividend per share = 1,14 %

i think mr stabbys shares should be split out between the other shareholders.
with the current situation, you all get the money Mr Stabby would have received. But, if he chooses to return, he can reclaim his shares (but not the profit he missed).

Er... This is not a big deal, and I doubt anyone would try doing this, but there is the tiniest flaw in the stock market. Let's presume, that I buy a share for 165. Buy buying it I make the shares go up to 169. So the next thing I do is selling the share. I earn 4 rupies, the share owners neither gain or loose anything and PoofBird looses 4 rupies.

If I ever need free weebl forum matches, I'll come to PoofBird :]

no.
as explained in my earlier post, you buy multiple shares at the same price.
after that the price goes up with cummulative percentages.

and reddigīs point:
I wonīt shut down the market, but i wonīt allow it either. Iīll think of a proper rule once anyone is dumb enough to try and pull such a stunt.

note: cheating the rupie system has proved to be a bannable offence. Cheating a game to earn quick rupies might be the same. I canīt ban people, but i will report them to the powers that be (and can).

Current price = 187 rupies

Current dividend per share = 1,00 %

we reached the magical number hundred!

*does a little dance*

but we will continue to sell. At one time, the high price will put people off naturaly.

Well, it is a stock market, isnt the point to sell you shares when they are worth alot? i get the not buying then selling straight awaybut surely... over time... thats the point... Only in this it seems kinda pointless, as long as the roulette thread keeps going, and keeps paying shareholders.

PoofBird

the entire idea is to start trading... selling for a profit is a smart thing

it's not a money scheme to just buy a share and sitting it out.

if you hang on to your shares, the dividend will grow lower and lower, but the price goes up.

at some time, selling is more interesting than dividend...
but then the price goes down, and other people will buy for the dividend.

I fully encourage selling your shares :)

just not the quick selling and then buying again scheme.

Insertname here, was this a real selling request, or were you just informing?

I will buy one more share to make it not one hundred any more (and cause I want one).

Hey, I've decided to sell my shares. :)

*does the smart profitable thing*

PoofBird
18-05-2004, 07:29 AM
Provided that Insernamehere indeed wants to sell, i buy from him for 187

then the price goes down to 182



then i sell to weeman for 182,

then the price goes up to 187

then i buy from gxfu for 187, provided that he does indeed want to sell

then the price goes down to 182

then i buy two shares from nutnoodle at 2x182

then the price goes down to 173

i must await the confirmations from Insertnamehere and GXFU (please be more clear) to get the prices right. inquiring the prices without clearly saying if you want to sell, confuses the game :)

NOTE TO ALL: for the sake of the game, be CLEAR IN WHAT YOU WANT. tell me exactly if and when you want to sell and buy, and don't just ask questions about prices.

i'm keeping them for now... when they get a bit higher i will be able to sell them all, get a custom avatar and then maybe have some left over to buy a share to get me going again.

the bank won, slightly

so you all get rupies

The transactions i mentioned above have not yet taken place. So i'll take it no shares have been sold or bought.

the bank won 107 rupies. I take 10%

this leaves 96 rupies for you:

Angrypaul 13 shares 12 rupies
dead 11 shares 11 rupies
mr stabby 10 shares 10 rupies
titanic weebl 10 shares 10 rupies
mug 6 shares 6 rupies
sheep go moo 6 shares 6 rupies
capīn zola 4 shares 4 rupies
damn tasche 4 shares 4 rupies
freddie 4 shares 4 rupies
zweee 4 shares 4 rupies
empty pie dish 3 shares 3 rupies
the basstard 3 shares 3 rupies
gnome general 2 share 2 rupies
insertnamehere 2 shares 2 rupies
Micky 2 shares 2 rupies
nutnoodle 2 shares 2 rupies
seaempty 2 shares 2 rupies
weeman 2 shares 2 rupies
3v1l |\/|1NiOn 2 shares 2 rupies
astral 1 share 1 rupie
blueberrymuffin 1 share 1 rupie
dark ninja 1 share 1 rupie
eiderf 1 share 1 rupie
gxfu 1 share 1 rupie
lellykelly 1 share 1 rupie
plasticvicar 1 share 1 rupie

as mathematicians will notice, due to roundings, i am in fact sharing 98 rupies with you... w00t w00t 2 extra!

the price for a share was 173 rupies, and rises with 10% to 190!!!

Although I don't take part in the whole stock market business, I would like to stirr the emotions up a bit.

You know what that means? That means, that as soon as dead obtains (in one way or another) another 450 (he has 350+2200) rupies, he'll sell his shares. Imagine what will happen, when one of the major shareholders sells his shares. My God. The share costs will fall how much? 10%? 15% 20%? What if people follow, afraid that other people will follow first? My God!... I'm getting goosebumps from even thinking of this!

Maybe it's time to collect your cash before it's to late.

Ok, enough stirring ;]

I still annoyed I missed getting in on the ground floor for this one! Poofbird should have advertised the initial floatation of his buisiness publicly! ;)

Ah well, I can always wait until the market crashes then swoop and take advantage of the vunerable.

I wouldn't bet on it to be that easy, Fick. There are loads of sharks swimming around this pool. You'll have to be really, really quick if you'll want to take a bite.

if you read back, you'll see the deal with Insertnamehere was older.

The current price is 200, and i will buy from you for that price :)

Current price is 195 rupies

once angrypaul has sold his i want first shotgun on the next ones if i like the cash you want for them

PoofBird
18-05-2004, 06:24 PM
new rule:

as i am slowly losing money on this, i need to make a small change

won't affect you guys too much

the prices will now rise or fall 2,5% after each share, instead of after each transaction with a cummulated percentage.

This means:

if you buy 2 shares:
the first may cost you 195 rupies, the second will then be 200

if you want to sell 4 shares, you'll receive: 195 + 190 + 185 + 181 =765 instead of 780

@sheep go moo: i don't really understand your post. at all.
anyway, don't chitchat too much here, keep it for share-trading only

you can not claim a selling spot in advance. You'll just have to post at the right moment.

the price is very high at this moment...

edit: and i now believe he wants to buy as soon as you sold them all: again, no can do. Just post at the right moment.

However, I would like to still cash in my 12 shares at the going-rate from when I stated I would sell then, which I beleive was Ģ195


Ģ195 x 12 = Ģ2340

A nice profit ;) Might plow it in to the roulette - give back to the market ;)

Reddig
18-05-2004, 06:57 PM
No, no, no, no! I didn't mean you! I meant the whole rest of the blokes, who kept on buying them shares for an easy profit. As for you - I could only congratulate you on your profit. :]

PoofBird
18-05-2004, 07:16 PM
bought from nutnoodle, check

now, i didn't see Angrypaul's post at first...

so i will buy from him, all at the current price, as i changed the rule after he posted.

12 x 195 = 2340

well done!


it makes the price drop to 144 rupies

if you buy three it will be 144 + 148 + 151 = 443 rupies

I do not consider sheep go moo and zweeé's posts to be real orders, as they only mention they might if the price is good.

first comes first goes after this post

18-05-2004, 07:21 PM

sold to lellykelly for 148

price for sheep go moo is: 152 + 156 = 308

current price is: 160

also:

the Roulette thread is losing popularity. The first craze is gone, which is natural, and a lot less money goes round.
This will influence the dividend, and probably will grossly effect the selling and buying of shares :)
Share holders will need to
a) trade more to earn money
or
b) encourage more people to gamble
or
c) gamble more themselves.
