    SBR Sharps Fund | IPO CLOSED
    IPO closed. Look for some more threads and announcements soon in the SBR Trading Forum.

    SBR Sharps Fund
    • Cost per share:6 points (SBR will add 4 points to each share purchased)
    • Minimum purchase: 100 shares for 600 points (purchases must be in blocks of 100 shares)
    • Max shares per person sold through this post: 300 shares for 1,800 points
    • How to buy: Simply hit the gold coin & send points in this post. IPO closes 11:59PM ET on 26 February.

    Four hedge fund managers will be appointed. SBR will scrutinize posted plays, contest records, and SBR Sportsbook activity to determine four responsible choices with the necessary experience to take on this role. These managers will be compensated 200 points per week with a 1,000 points bonus to the manager who has performed best after 3 months.

    How it works:
    All shares will be divided into four SBR Sportsbook accounts making up the one central fund which only SBR and the fund managers will have access to. Two straight bet plays will be made per week by each fund manager on major American sporting events (MLB, NBA/NCAAB, NHL) for a fixed amount of points determined by the total number of shares sold during the IPO. No exotic wagers will be allowed. Bet amounts must equal 2.5% of the total shares sold during the IPO.

    Can we trade shares? Absolutely! After 1 March 2014, posters will be free to transact trades inside of an official buy/sell trading thread created by SBR. Trades agreed to by PM or in other threads will not be recognized; users must conduct their trading activity inside of the official post, which will also include a spreadsheet updated during specified hours containing the total amount of shares in circulation by user.

    Once we can trade, is there a max shares per user? No. Users are free to buy and sell shares amongst each other; however trading must be in blocks of 100.

    How do we cash out our shares? After 1 June 2014 all shares will be paid out by SBR.

            I can make more investing the 1800 myself based upon your limit of two bets weekly. Why restrict them? 1000 reward is nothing here.

                          Full disclosure, I should be a fund manager if you only want 2 plays a week.

                                  I'd just wait to see who are the fund managers. It could be an opportunity to fade their plays without buying into the fund. You don't want to buy shares in a fund run by lakerboy for example.

                                    Just got a pm assessing my interest in being a manager.

                                    apparently the plays will not be posted for public consumption until right after game time

                                          We are going to work out a way to short the fund for those who want to bet on the value decreasing. Probably be available for Sharps Fund II that will kick off in the summer.

                                                      Obvious +EV here. +66.7% value added. I am in for the max.
                                                      OTOH, just 2 bets per week per manager? So, 8 straight bets per week, risking 20% of fund weekly? That is having most of the money unused. After 18 weeks it would have under 4x rollover, so risk is minimal.
                                                      With 36 picks for manager, the difference between a very sharp and a coin tosser should be less than 2 wins. If the points paid to the managers are from the fund balance, we are paying 100 points per pick. +EV should be larger than that, or we would be better with a coin toss instead.
                                                      About the best fund managers, you have the data. You told about some 60 players consistently winning in the SBR book. I suppose the biggest lifetime winners are the best option (someone like trytrytry and ArunSh), but you have the call.

                                                        overall horrible way to do this now there is no huge risk for any one group. it isnt who can manage points, it is who can pick the most winners

                                                        it should be a combination of both but you have eliminated one aspect

                                                          We are in the process of selecting the 4 managers. They will be announced in the near future.

                                                          The format for Fund I is somewhat conservative. We have a few things to learn and we want to keep it simple. Other funds will be available in the future and the sky is the limit on their predetermined limits. We need to develop the back end accounting software, protocol end methodology first.

                                                            "After 1 June 2014 all shares will be paid out by SBR."

                                                            This fund is only going to last three months?

                                                              Yes, we will redeem all the shares at net asset value. Immediately after we will start Sharps Fund II.
