Is it possible the dude lost it on his own site?Maybe he was the site owner betting on his own site and created the situation for the drama and exposure to get all us peeps yammering on about it?

Guess I need to quote myself again Smiley

ITT: No one actually reading the replies Wink

I am the site owner

This is 100% real, there is blockchain proof and would be absolutely stupid for me to fake.
Here's why:

1) BetKing.io has a crowdfunded bankroll, when the house wins the profit gets split to investors. That means I would be paying the investors 1300 Bitcoin!
That would be the biggest waste of advertising money possible and I would still not have made that money back by now with the commission model I have.

2) That big bet is a losing bet, why would I want to promote that someone lost that much? Surely you would want to advertise a win?

3) There is blockchain proof of the player withdrawing 500-1000 Bitcoin multiple times per day for 3 days, almost all of it profit from his wins!

4) This forum was very active for 3 days while it happened and there were people watching all of his bets where he ran up a profit of over 1000 Bitcoin before losing. Posting screenshots in this thread the whole time https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=910134.620 (that's roughly the start page, there are around 6 pages of replies)

And to clear up the player was able to bet so big and win so much because BetKing.io (it was named Pocket Rockets Casino at the time) had the largest crowdfunded Bitcoin bankroll of any gambling site for over a year and a half after JD closed, at the time of this bet there was around 3500 Bitcoin invested IIRC.

A player who is assumed to be an old bettor called mechs did a large bet of over 1300 BTC in a single bet at https://BetKing.io (former PocketRocketsCasino) a while back. Is there anybody to beat this kind of a bet anymore? The highroller managed to build up hundreds of BTC via small multipliers before losing.

What are your thoughts? Is there any point in betting hundreds of thousands of dollars on dice, even if the site is trusted? I personally feel like I'm betting a crap ton even if the bet sizes are as tiny as 0.1 BTC...



1300 BTC? Oh my God, who is that crazy man? Hope that is only an early adopter, but what luck for the owner of that dice site. Anyway, the maximum bet that I've seen is on Just Dice, but now I don't remember precisely how many BTC was (But I'm sure that the amount was more higher than 1000 BTC)

I'm wondering how much that guy won before though. We can see only one bet from which he won 100 BTC but how many bets like this one were before that?

I don't think his winnings were over 1k BTC though.
IT was explained or discussed somewhere else before but as far as i remember he didn't won many of those bets,it was a big loss.Though people also say that it was done for some popularity Wink

Probably 1banana highrolling on PD regularly... Unfortunately he lost all.

I'm not sure when the Hufflepuff thing happened. If it was this year then it's the biggest bets I've ever seen.

Hufflepuff was cheating at PD and his bet was nowhere near 1300 Bitcoin, PD has a max bet of 40btc at the time.

Really, casino would just do a max to bet, because when some is going to bet like 5000BTC for example.
That he win that I think casino will just lose all the money or some thing. And waw people really cheat that is just sad.

Wow... Firstly the guy must be crazy... He would lose 1k BTC then say "Oh well" on the chat...

Most sites have house edges of less than 100 BTC so it's hard to find a site that accepts that kind of gigantic bets.

The biggest bets I've seen are probably from Turk0jan on PD... He was up 150+ coins before he busted them all.

Did you not see his roll? It is 1.08x multiplier and he still lose it, I just think he is not in that luck to roll. Nope there are some guys that win over 1k btc, if you know jackie. I forgot where did he played at but it seems he won a lot from that

Look its crazy betting that large amount even if the win odds are 99.9%. Not really worth winning 100BTC by betting 1300BTC.

Anyone know when that was taken?

Why is this look likes more to site advertising to me ?

A unknow dice site with high bet LOL

Unknown? Check my screenshot and make your own conclusions.



Want to check their bankroll? Here you go: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/1FhxjhFb1YudGC1vtV4FuLpQc2uHzq3XFd

If you ever have that amount of money hit me up, anyways the site is backed up by multiple investors. So before taking you should inform yourself a bit at least, do your homework.

Good luck!

I also think rolling dice with high bet and minimum multiplier have high risk. Even with 10% chance of loss you can easily become bankrupt with 2-3 losing bets.

I would not do anything stupid like that, a bet with 1300BTC is mean $ 520,000 it is the very thing bulging in my opinion, I had to gather the money for 100 years to get $ 520,000


Sometimes I really think that those bets are nothing but publicity schemes to generate free traffic to the gambling site.

I mean even if you do have 1300 BTC to bet with, what guarantee do you have that the site will actually let you withdraw that much money?

I doubt this will be legit.No one would be stupid enough to bet on a dice with so much btc. I still like to know if this really happened. Does anyone have any contacts with the website or can anyone give me a solid proof that this happened? I would love to write an article on this.

The max profit does not work like that based on one players winnings or losses. It is based on total invested (by users) on the site, which is currently around 3000 BTC.
If a player wins, the total invested amount will of course go down as the player wins from it and so the max profit will also go down.
The house would never limit a player by limiting max profit so that they couldn't win back what they lost.

Here is how it's explained on their site:

"The maximum payout of the site is calculated by taking the sum of all the investments * risk * 0.01.
So imagine we had user A with 10 Bitcoins invested at 1/2 Kelly, B with 10 at 5x and C with 10 at 10x. The maximum payout would be:

(10*0.5*0.01) + (10*5*0.01) + (10*10*0.01) = 1.55 Bitcoin"



I got it, so even he was lost 300,000 btc and total invested in the site only 3,000 btc the maximum payout wouldn't increased right?
Because maximum payout will increased only if there is an additional funds invested right?
But max payout will decreased if we won 100 of 300 max payout?
How you can calculate max payout if the case like that? Is it correct what I mentioned above?
