You don't have to be a whale at all.
About 25LP (liquidity pairs, SPS/NBN) which is about $300, would get you at least 1 ticket a day for the daily lotto when you compound each day.
Of course, you can start with less, and while the lotta chances aren’t there yet, you still stack you SPS and BNB faster than you can anywhere else. Once, you are ready you start claiming, just go with the 6/1 or 5/2 model(compound 6 days, claim(withdraw) 1 day). This way you are still earing while withdrawing and extending the time till you fully withdraw.
Gas fees on the Binance chain is about $.20 to compound. So wise to invest enough that the cost of gas fees, no matter how cheap, don’t out weight your investment, and either way getting 365% of you investment over time is hard to find anywhere.
