House always wins. If everyone was perfectly logical hypernets would never happen because statistically you will always lose unless you are the one running it
Always interesting to see how any specific section of the market flows.... still far below your budget but working on it :) EDIT: The psychology of pricing on Hypernet per node is of course the real key (IMO)...
I think is better buying 1/4 or 1/6 of the tickets because some items can not be sold but if they get sold you gain an higher amount of isk and you don't loose isk if you don't get the items.
If you were to relist the 8 you won back, how would that work in your calculations? would you need to consider the cost of selling via market vs hypernet? It would be something you already paid to obtain, and recieved isk via hypernet already, so it seems like.. an initial investment was already paid and it would be just a matter of figuring out the way to maximize the profit from them.
I really dont get it , maybe i am wrong : When you buy a rattlesnake 531M+Hypernet Node 43M + Tax 39M and than you self buy 4 tickets 392M . Now you lose your gamble and lost total of 531+43+39 + 329M ? or did the 329M self buy not count because you buy it from your own ?
