After playing for a few months, #事件合约 , I’ve got a few thoughts I’d like to share with everyone. Hopefully, they’ll be useful to those who are still playing.
At the end of the day, event contracts are all about probability. With platform odds of 0.8 and fixed-size bets, maintaining a win rate of around 65% over the long term should theoretically leave room for profit. But just because the numbers add up on paper doesn’t mean you can actually stick to that approach.
A lot of people start out pretty disciplined: they make a little and then stop. But as time goes on, they place bets more and more often, and after losing, they find it harder and harder to let go. Especially after getting several in a row wrong, there’s only one thought left in their minds: “I have to win back what I lost on the next one.” So they keep increasing their stake until they eventually go all in. Profits they worked hard to build up over several days can disappear in just a few minutes, and they may even lose their original stake.
I imagine a lot of you who trade event contracts have taken losses on perpetuals. You switched over here hoping to make a few hundred bucks a day, deal with less hassle, and make life a little easier.
But the moment you bet all the money in your account just to break even, you’ve forgotten why you started in the first place. You only wanted to make a few hundred bucks, but in the end, you’re gambling your entire stake on a single bet. What really makes people lose sight of their original goal is often that feeling of “not being able to accept the loss.” Don’t risk the rest of your stake just to win back one loss.#量化 #事件
