Also known as a “free roll.” I agree with @roelofbotha, you probably don’t want to be on the LP side of an SPV. From ChatGPT: Having a free roll means you are in a situation where you have upside potential with little or no downside risk. It’s commonly used in poker and gambling, but it also applies to investing and life decisions. For example: •In poker, if you’re in a hand where you can’t lose but still have a chance to win more, you’re on a free roll. •In investing, if you’ve already taken out your initial capital and are playing with “house money,” you have a free roll. •In business, if someone offers you an opportunity where you only benefit but don’t risk anything significant, that’s a free roll. It’s essentially a no-lose situation with possible upside.

Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

We remain destined to repeat the mistakes of the past! SPVs are making a come-back, where the lead investor speaks for less than 10% of the capital, yet eagerly lines up the latest set of tourist chumps who think the story will end differently this time. It's only been 3 years🤯
