Hi all, 

 

I'm doing a giveaway in increments of $10,000. First prize is $10,000 and the last prize is $1,000,000.

 

All you need to do to win is to make a post in this forum! First to post wins the first prize, and I'll increase the amount won by $10,000 for each new entrant!

 

Note: Only one entry per user. It's fine to post a comment again but I won't pay out additonal prizes.

 

Have fun and good luck!

From my undrestanding its hard for people to put themselves in the first position which gets nothing/really low 

Like those tiktoks that say double it and give it to the next person thats why i dont think ill be seeing alot of comments in here lol hope the winners be happy about it 

People be like "first anticipation sucks" so they wait hoping for a better outcome which they might not get

And if u go early some think they lost compared to the last guy which will get more and people will avoid taking the loss of being the guy who went first 

And if nobodys participating people will hesitate like "is this even worth it" like a video on ig/youtube which has low number of likes 

 

Its like a combo of negative anchoring effect loss aversion and like herd/pack behaviours

 

Also u would need about 5bil if u wanted to pay the givaway

So u be better off doubling it each time 

kyozo43 [2125465]

I understand what you're saying, somebody has to start the bidding somewhere and that's the whole point of the game!

 

A concept which I just thought would be funny tbh

 

As for your idea of doubling it, the numbers would end up as the following: 

 

10,000
+ 20,000 = 30,000
+ 40,000 = 70,000
+ 80,000 = 150,000
+ 160,000 = 310,000
+ 320,000 = 630,000
+ 640,000 = 1,270,000

+ 1,280,000 = 2,550,000

 

A total of 8 prizes with a grand total of 2.5m paid out. The way I'm doing it is a much slower grind to the top, but ends up being around 50m given away. Not sure where you're getting your numbers of 5bil lol. But 8 total prizes didn't seem fun to me, hence the incremental giveaway being my chosen style!

It doesn't, not in the slightest...

The actual number is $50.5m as OP pointed out above. That's 1.01% of $5b.

 

Also lemme get that number up for the people after me! What Fire_keeper didn't consider is that with a large enough playerbase and the promise of free stuff (now matter how much) there will always be people who will participate.
