Since Flap and Four platforms introduced their tax mechanisms, the total cost of P's "dog-beating" strategy has increased to 8%. Currently known costs include: 1. 1% internal transaction fee: This goes to the casino. 2. 1-3% mechanism tax: This goes to the gameplay mechanics or developers. 3. 1% platform fee: This goes to the seller of the shovel. 4. 1% slippage: This occurs whenever you trade. You think you can make money as long as your win rate is above 50%? Wrong! You need a win rate of 58% or even 62% to make money, because the 8%-12% cost in between goes to the casino, the seller, transaction fees, and the bots. And you, my friend, you are the true Builder!
