I've recently started trying with SBI and Matsui, but the odds seem so very low.

With SBI the larger your capital reserves the more times you can apply, but they offers challenge points and allows you to apply for multiple ipos with the same deposit pool, Matsui requires no reserves at all!

Capital reserves at SBI must be held in cash, I'm wonder if it's really worth keeping some cash sitting unsused just to roll those IPO dice...

With SBIs challenge point system I'll win eventually! I am stubborn now, just a few clicks a week.

If you park capital with SBI Neo Hybrid you can spin the wheel again for each 100 shares. So its not a bad strategy for a portion of h you cash savings.

I read about the old boys system at physical brokerages, its a bit of a laugh.

Sorry, so I we are on the same page, you’re:

#1 talking about an initial public offering?

#2 if so, are you talking about your own company’s IPO or are you investing in another company’s IPO?

It’s your IPO will be very interesting to know how it goes.

What are some examples of companies or sectors you’re looking at? If this question is too dox-y, I understand.

Anything with a small public float, decent lockup and agreeable PER and PBR.

It's a very successful strategy, which is why competition for IPO shares is fierce.

Are you picking and choosing on the issue price? Or the quality of the company? Or just applying for as many as you can in the hope you win?

Looking at all ipo over the last few years, seems like quite a mixed bag, some dropping 25% on the first day, median +6.6% and aver like +18%, but you can’t really spread the risk.

Play money thing, I’d say.
