If your bank roll is bigger than the dice site, depending on the value of the bankroll site, you could beat it.  If the dice sites bankroll is roughly 1000 BTC you probably won't beat it unless you get extremely lucky. 

Dice sites aren't made to go broke, they have a house edge and made to make money!

no, if your bankroll is bigger than the site's maybe you can beat it !

Depends on how much bigger, and what the value of both are.  But odds are, you still probably won't beat it.
I am with you  in the long run at last we all will loae. You must know how to stop and start small again and take a good care for your profits.

You can't beat a dice site unfortunately.  They have a house edge.  That means they will win more than you

This.

You can invest in a few dice sites fortunately and get profit as the house wins, but you have to trust the site for not running away or scamming.

I don't feel like this. market trading will just destroy your life, because you'll never be able to be anywhere without constantly looking at prices of things you've invested in.

That's why some smart ppl developed trading bots and some other scriptable trading apps...

If you learn poker or something, you will lose a lot of money getting to the point at which you're actually decent and at that point the game will simply not be fun to you anymore.

...and this is why some other smart ppl developed poker sites and apps where you can practice without losing too much Smiley.

With gambling it's always best to learn a game requiring skill such as poker or trading markets rather risking money on fixed odds.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun activity and fixed odds gambling is something that anybody can do without being completely ripped off and without worrying about it all day.

Primedice seem to "provide" more long losing streaks than other gambling sites.
But primedice also has more players than most other gambling sites and maybe that does matter...

I have exactly the same feeling about PD. But I think the reason is the size of house edge, not the number of players.

See both matters, house edge is only 1% doesn't make much effect but the more players do !

The expected value of any sort of betting strategy is negative. There is no way to 'optimize' your betting (martingale or otherwise) in order to be profitable in the long run. If you like to gamble (dont we all?), do so, but know that it is only entertainment for you and not a way to get rich.

Exactly and if you take it seriously and think you can make aliving out of this, its almost impossible !

That doesnt men it sucks. You just had bad luck on the site. Having bad luck on a site doesnt make it bad.

If you want to use that technique you'll have to start with big money and do very small bets. This will give you a chance if you'll lose 10 or even 20 in a row.
But what happens if (I know, the chance is small, but it CAN happen!) you lose 30 in a row?

Conclusion: try to not play more than you afford to lose and take it like a game, not as an investment (invertment, lol!)

I don't know if people realize this or not, but dice sites all have a house edge.  Which means the more games you play, the more likely you are to lose.  Its simple math no matter what you do, the more you play, the more likely you are to lose.

Here's an interesting piece of information; the longest recorded streak of one color in roulette is supposedly 32 times in an American casino (sorry, no source).

That would mean that if you would apply Martingale and bet 1 milli-bitcoin (0.001 BTC) on the losing color for that particular outcome you would be about 2 147 483 BTC down the hole at the end.

the method of doubling every loss.. it would matter based on the size of your bank roll.

i mean it works for short term though, this is my observation.

maybe if you have 1,000BTC bankroll and do basebet of .001  Wink

this bankroll is not enough for this basebet
20 streak of losses will take 1048.576 BTC
and 20 streak of losses is very possible

Using Martingale is like playing Russian Roulette. Each time you pull the trigger and the gun doesn't go off you win a little bit. At the very least you want to use some statistical analysis or Monte Carlo simulations to figure how long you can go before the next play gives you N% chance of you wiping out your account. The smaller your starting bet and the bigger your account, the more empty chambers the the revolver has.



best example ever  Smiley

be in your mind; 1 satoshi bet becomes 343.5btc after 35 times of loses.

I personally experienced 20 reds in a row on a x2 bet. And considering the most dice sites pay 20-30btc max, you can only lose 30times and you must win the 31st, if you lose the 31st bet you can always cry in a corner silently. i will be there to pat your shoulder.

and after all, even if you win you ll get only 1 sato:D:D

Is there anyone that has thought about beating a dice site using martingale?

It's a +EV strategy only if you have an infinite bankroll Tongue

It might even be a +EV strategy if your bankroll can take 35 streak of losses. Never heard anymore, and have done a few simulations.
Never came over that, but that might also mean that your first bet would be like 1 satoshi, which would be pointless.

There is no +EV strategy for gambling. Perhaps if you had a greater bankroll than the house, but this is limited by a limit on your maximum bet return.

It will still have a negative EV, no matter how much gambling fund you have.
And what is the point of gambling if you have an infinite bankroll lol?

You're right, I'm not sure why I mentioned the possibility of a positive EV strategy, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. What I meant is that if you have a greater bankroll than the house, you could have a greater chance of beating the house than busting, although it would still be -EV. This doesn't work in practice though since there is usually a maximum % of the house's bankroll that can be won per bet.

Martingale is pretty dangerous cos it sucks many a newb in. It seems like you can't lose at first as you always win your money back plus more, but then you hit that loss streak and bust within a few seconds. Most people learn the hardway but there is no foolproof way to beat the house unfortunately.

Assume I got 100000 BTC.

I start doing martingale from 1 BTC.
I will lose out, because I will reach a point in which the bet I should be playing will be greater than the max bet allowed in the particular site.
Plus, there is an additional problem of house edge.

So, your expected return is negative, at least in theory.

Personally, I never use martingale, and I am not interested in dice sites too.

But what if you had 10000 btc and started off betting 0.000001? I can't imagine you'll hit a loss streak big enough to hit that loss streak as long as you don't play for infinity and quit whilst you have a decent profit.

Yup the chance for such a long loss streak is extremely small, but don't forget how many rolls you need to do to get a "decent profit".

In your example, you will gain 0.000001 bitcoin for every win, so you will need to win 1,000,000 rounds in order to win 1 bitcoin (just 0.01% of your original 10000 bitcoin).

What do you mean by "beat a dice site"?
If you want to get a gambling profit, you could do so if you are lucky.
If you want to have an advantage over the house, then no it is not possible.

guess he means make the house edge negative, that is, you expected to win.

It is impossible unless you find a way to hack the site, no matter if you use martingale or any other betting system or not

I find it weird that people who use bitcoins, which are generated in a purely random method, can't get the point that it is impossible to beat the odds on gambling games. If the house has an edge, they will "win". The rate at which they win is based on that statistical edge, and it's different for every game.

In the real world, it's best to play balanced games with a minimal house edge. Craps is a good example: If they load the dice somehow you can simply play the don't pass/don't come and win over the house. Frankly speaking it's impossible for the house to cheat (the only reason the house maintains an edge against the don't bettor is because a 12 is a push, not a payout on a come-out roll. That's literally it).

However electronically someone can rig the program regardless of the bettor, so electronic games can't be inherently balanced.

Anyway, moral is if you gamble and are not the house you will lose. Always. That is why Vegas is built with all those pretty buildings and fountains.

Just like a block will drop every 10 minutes.

The streak of 35 losses is the most curious thing I've ever heard. It's a probability of ~2,9*10ˆ-11...

I just got hit by a 25 loss streak which is pretty rare on 3.30x payout on Primedice today. The longer you play, the probability of getting busted approaches towards 1 at a faster rate.

streak of 25 at 3.3x is not that uncommon. However at 50% it would be.

I just got hit by a 25 loss streak which is pretty rare on 3.30x payout on Primedice today. The longer you play, the probability of getting busted approaches towards 1 at a faster rate.

Martingale is a +EV strategy...if you bet 0.
If you bet real money, you will end up in so much loss that you will cry.

Is there anyone that has thought about beating a dice site using martingale?

It's a +EV strategy only if you have an infinite bankroll Tongue

It might even be a +EV strategy if your bankroll can take 35 streak of losses. Never heard anymore, and have done a few simulations.

Martingale doesn't work on long-term view. The house edge always keeps the casinos bankroll safe.

If you have much more money than the site, you will have high probability to beat the site.
wtf? in this case they cant pay out when you win high... this is only bad for the gambler

If they own you money and go bankruptcy instead of running away, you will still get some profit back.

But I guess they will probably run away, so it's still better to gamble in an exchange, which is usually fair and secure and has much smaller house edge.

the method of doubling every loss.. it would matter based on the size of your bank roll.

i mean it works for short term though, this is my observation.

maybe if you have 1,000BTC bankroll and do basebet of .001  Wink
yes, then you'll win 1 mbtc 99999/100000 times and lose 1000 BTC 1 in 100.000 times Shocked

Assume I got 100000 BTC.

I start doing martingale from 1 BTC.
I will lose out, because I will reach a point in which the bet I should be playing will be greater than the max bet allowed in the particular site.
Plus, there is an additional problem of house edge.

So, your expected return is negative, at least in theory.

Personally, I never use martingale, and I am not interested in dice sites too.

Agreed in principle. You need an almost unlimited bankroll to be safe with Martingale (Martinfail to me Tongue). Even if you have that kind of a huge bankroll, it is still not going to help if the site you are betting on has a lower max bet. So before you try and experiment with this (which i think would be crazy) i suggest you find a site which allows huge maxbet. You don't want to run into that maxbet wall. I have hit the maxbet wall once and believe me, it didn't feel good at all! Sad

Using Martingale is like playing Russian Roulette. Each time you pull the trigger and the gun doesn't go off you win a little bit. At the very least you want to use some statistical analysis or Monte Carlo simulations to figure how long you can go before the next play gives you N% chance of you wiping out your account. The smaller your starting bet and the bigger your account, the more empty chambers the the revolver has.

Martingale is work if you do it for short term & have a lot money to start
And about 1% from your bankroll for starter

Most user like martingale, that's why there are many dice site now

Here's the thing with the martingale system:
1, it works in the short term, by prolonging the losses
and 2, you don't lose as much when using the martingale, however, when you win, the wins are smaller and when you lose, the losses are massive.

So if you want to use the martingale, especially on a dice site, here's what I suggest:

Go in with a small amount of money relative to your total bankroll. You should go in with max, 2.5% of your total bankroll.  Your goal will be to win a reasonable amount of money relative to what you went in with, (anywhere from 10-50% ROI).  If you lose, however, prepare to lose everything that you went in with.  That's why you only go in with a tiny amount relative to your total bankroll.  

Don't stop rolling the dice until you've hit your reasonable win goal.

The point of this simple strategy is to take advantage of the fact that you don't see a really long losing streak all that often, so when you do happen to hit one, (and it will happen, trust me) you'll only lose a small amount of money relative to your bankroll.  Hopefully, you can get enough of those winning sessions to outweigh the losses.

You cannot beat a gambling site in the long run. Apart from getting a losing streak there is also a factor of bankroll decreasing,
due to which bankroll decreases and this could be bad for the gambler in some ways.

With gambling it's always best to learn a game requiring skill such as poker or trading markets rather risking money on fixed odds.
