TheNewDeal: bitcoinpete picked up a mere .1 BTC when I am looking for more
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: How do these arrangements work? Suppose I wanted to trade some of my no for your yes, how do we price these?
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Supposed you did, because we were both looking to hedge. How would this trade work?
TheNewDeal: you would give a amount, say 1 BTC, and we would tack on a timeweight to it
TheNewDeal: so you would send me 1 btc, and receive X timeweight
TheNewDeal: timeweight would be agreed upon beforehand
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Sure. That's about half of the question's answer. What of instead of BTC for positions the trade was positions for positions?
TheNewDeal: thats possible. I have 5.6 total BTC in for a timeweight of ~197,000. Care to share what you're trying to trade?

BingoBoingo: Well, it is a relic of BitBet's earlier days
TheNewDeal: but it's easy enough for me to quickly find the payout of one or two bets
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Yeah, but I usually like to survey the whole field at once. Creates a real appreciation of time weight
BingoBoingo: Helps you identify interesting bettors as well
TheNewDeal: the maximum i stand to make on my yes prop is 1.25 btc with 5.6 bet (assuming no more NO bets come)
TheNewDeal: if I purchased your whole position, I would make 3.78% on yes, or lose 28.8 percent
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Assume we are hedgine and trading smaller amounts. Who would we price deciBitcoin portions of each position.
TheNewDeal: let's say I were to send you a fraction of a BTC (let's say a half) on the no bet. Would you consider giving me a larger timeweight than what you have bet at?
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: I'd actually be more interested in swapping a fraction of the no for a fraction of the Yes. If we are trading Bitcoin against the position... I'd maybe be interested in offering a bit of extra timeweight.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That explains the problem historically, but not why it persists.
TheNewDeal: My position will currently pay out 1.22 per 1 invested, but I have like 4X more invested, so it doesn't make much sense to buy a small fraction

BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: I'm thinking rather than adjusting time weight which could create a bit of a pickle if a lot of large late betting acticity swoops in we consider the matter of pricing a 0.5 stake in terms of the premium or discount applied to 0.5 BTC to purchase it.

TheNewDeal: if I were to purchase .33 BTC at 30K timeweight
TheNewDeal: for me I would be winning 10% on my investment of 5.9 BTC on YES, or returning 27% of that investment on no
TheNewDeal: you on the other hand, would bring in 1.06 BTC for an investment of (1-.33 = .67 btc)
TheNewDeal: I've got to go get some food before the bar closes
BingoBoingo: And lets say at 16`367 you spent .33 to purchase 0.5, 0.6 or whatever on No (In case miners betting late on No make covering the offer at a higher weight a challenge, Spz. No becomes obvious and a member of the math challenged drops 1000 BTC on No)
TheNewDeal: i dont think bets are going to be made

TheNewDeal: one I was thinking of was buying .25 stake at 50k weight
TheNewDeal: ;;calc ((16.3-.25*50)/(678)*112.8)/(1-.25)
TheNewDeal: which would be drastically reduced from the 370%+ you have now
BingoBoingo: Looks like [ 53] No 50000 0.25000000 2.24095491 1.99095491 when added through BitBet.py
TheNewDeal: if I send .25 btc to you representing 50k timeweight you would win .63 btc on No
TheNewDeal: then I think we're both stuck to the waiting game
BingoBoingo: I might be amenable to .33 BTC at 25000 weight... the line looks like No 25000 0.33000000 1.65041127 1.32041127
TheNewDeal: the thing is I have to take in my whole stake

TheNewDeal: the network has to average around 6% over 3 diff changes
BingoBoingo: And I only thing we are getting two changes
