RE: RandomSBD: Win $500 Lottery - Only 2 SBD per Ticket! + Escrow
just a bit confused about the escrow for this (and perhaps others are as well too). you sent 135.658 SBD of the first day's $250 to @someguy123, but then sent the rest back to your poloniex account. am I missing or misunderstanding something?
That's correct.
The aim was to have two rounds, $250 per round.
Unfortunately with only two participants. It seems the interest is low.
So I will stop at the first round...unless, interest picks up, in which case I will send the funds back to complete the second round.
But it's just not worth it if only two people are interested.
About 14 hours left and the winner will earn $250.
If interest picks up, I will add at least another $250 if not more.
well, in that case I may be interested to throw in my 2SBD as well, IF no one else joins in (the odds are certainly orders of magnitude better than the state lotteries)! Of course, sometimes like on ebay, you can get a bunch of bids come in right before the close. Oh wait, did I do that?! lol
If no one else joins in though, perhaps @emerge and @digit would like to make an agreement to split the proceeds three ways. Win win for all! :D
Truth be told, though, if it's really not working as you had hoped, you could just call it a day, return the funds (with a bit of an extra "thank you" tip and/or randowhale vote on their top pending post for their "trouble"). Then take some time off to regroup and rethink the strategy.
One idea may be to offer some sort of discounted @randowhale and/or WhaleShare votes, which could also, depending on how it's structured, potentially give a helpful boost to some of the smaller members of the community as well.

Thanks for your comment. I'll keep this competition running however, since I've committed to it. $250 will be paid out definitely.
I figured you would, but it does seem a bunch more did come in after all! While not as "attractive" as last night, the current expectancy seems to be around $14.81, which still makes for better odds than most lotteries, so I threw in my 2 SBD as well!
