Topic: Betcoin.eu - full automated lottery with 160% / 200% instant payout - page 2. (Read 8717 times)

I like the ideas bitlotto posted, but they might not work in the large scale.

Personally I have made ~400 bets in the last 5 days from 0.1 to 1 BTC. I have won some of my 1 BTC bets but also lost several (one with an insulting 499). Somehow it would be nice to have the winning number displayed nicely - but his page paying out directly so I often know before checking the page if I have won. Adding a further page for me to visit makes it even slower.

I think the odds should be a bit better. On a win you usually only get 160%, so that leaves you with 40% less than you would need to break even. If you roll above 400 and even you will get 200% so you break even. It appears that 10% of every bet (win or loose) goes to the Jackpot, sometimes it is 20%? I don't know where the 5% fee comes in place here.

Generally speaking I wish the odds where a bit better. For example by raising the 400+ payout to 300%.

The statistics page is good, actually I usually use that to check my results as its nice in one large list.


edit: did only about 400 bets not 700...

game is so addciting lol i made 2 small bets and 1 big and won it almost doubled the coins i had for today.

First off, I really like your lottery! I even tried for a while to win the jackpot! But lost, dang it!

I was thinking of your site today after that post and it got me thinking. You could change a few things. It would still be simple, yet eliminate any question of cheating. It would also make it more fun!!

Here's what I'd do:
-don't change the send to address / payment address part. It's very simple and elegant! BUT, when you ask if the address is yours just say "1KLk...aPw" with a good portion missing.
-when they first register they are given a link. This link would be betcoin.eu/(theirpaymentaddress) and they are told to remember it or how to figure out what it is if they lose it. If someone figures someones out, it not a huge deal since all they can do is make their picks and NOT change where its going
-that page will be their pick a number page. It would be like your incoming payment tx pages but it would be a list with all the transactions for the sending address.
-once a payment is verified a link will appear letting the person make a pick. When they click it it opens a new page.
-now they are on a page where they pick a number 1-500. You could make it look all cool with graphics or having a 3-digit wheel they spin to select or something. Underneath is a hash. This is the hash of a list of 1-500 listing what each number is. 1.2x, 2x, lose, and one with the jackpot. They then pick a number and click submit. It then loads a page showing the data with random data as well and the same hash of all the data. Then they click next and it goes back to the "pick a number page".
-they get to pick for each payment

Main advantages:
-MORE FUN as the user feels like they are more in control of the outcome
-impossible for people to accuse you of cheating
-dealing with the randomness is more simple because people are actually determining the outcome and not a random number
-MORE FUN!

You could even have it where no selection after 2 hours or something will have one picked for them.

I REALLY hope you do something similar. I just kind of hope you don't as I may get addicted to your game! 

Yea all the games are a game of risk after playing alot of them i find that all of them are legit it seems but your chances of winning alot are low unless you get real lucky.  Like i turned 0.80 into 6 coins on one site but then every time i played after that i lost lol.

I played alot befor but i stoped because it seemed more bets i sent more i lost one time i sent like 20 and lost 18 of them im not saying game is a scam its all chance like all the gambing sites.

As I answered in his thread:

I'm tired of justifying myself always. Maybe my betcoin.eu is just an example. If you think you can't win, don't play it. The people who are playing it have a fair chance to win. There is a real 50% winning chance. The calculated chance including all played games is 48,31% at the moment. It was over 51% and it was below 48% in the last days.

There are many people who won and there are many people who lost. Its a pitty that only the people who lost are posting. There are some winners who post and told me they like the game very much.

That's all from my side, the rest can be read in the other thread in detail. I published all deposits and all payouts and everyone can see whats going on. I published my 5% cut profit, which is more than my mining rig ever produced per day, and everone can see all statistics and all played games. Tahe next update will include the hash function, at the moment I use random.org. But to be honest I have more fun on developing my roulette table at the moment. It's a hobby, not more.

And one thing more: everyone who played my game many times should see that there is a real 50% (+/- 5%) chance to win. Everyone can test the game with 0.01 btc to see if it work for him and makes fun. If you need quotes of long time players, look at the statistics.

Regards.

He is pretty much saying that your type of lottery is a potential scam. Could be a bitter loser! If you want, PM me and I'll help come up with a hash method that may stop this kind of stuff.

Jackpot update: 17.4787 btc

I know, but it's hard to increase the jackpot after it was won.

This isn't bad, but the only thing that really makes it a plus is the jackpot.

current jackpot: 2.7016 btc

http://betcoin.eu

I'm in for 0.15 to give it a try

Current Payouts:

Every even number: 160%

Every even number greater than 400: 200%


+ Winning chance: 50%
+ instant payout!

Hey, yea the last one took awhile to process, its there now. Thanks!  and i was referring to the 3% chance that I would lose 5 in a row haha, o wells, fun game. The last one was 499 too.. so close

Hi,

the server can handle much more requests, proofed 2 hours ago. But not all transactions were confirmed at the same time.

All of you five transactions were processed and all five are in the statistics overview.

It is a pity that you have lost. but it is statistically quite possible. If you have lost a previous game, that does not increase your chance of winning next time. Each round has the same chance.

Kind regards!

Hey, i think your server can't handle all the requests.  I just sent in 5 transactions of .10 BTC and only 4 got ran through the game. The last one disappeared.  (all 4 were losses how statistically improbable)

My username in the game is MasonIII, you can see that only 4 showed up in the past hour out of the 5 i sent in, the others were from yesterday.

Damn, I hope the Bitcoin Server can handle so many requests. The gaming and database server has no problem right now, the cpu runs at 20%.

I am asking myself if the people play because of the jackpot or the 200% payout?

Whoa, sooo close!

I'm definitely getting value for money :-)
Invested 10 x .1 bets, and keep re-investing any winnings till I either win the jackpot, or all bets lose.
