Sadly Round 8 came and went without a single entrant, so to get the next round rolling I seeded it with 0.1 BTC
So other than the fear that I will run with the coins are there any other faults or concerns with this concept?
"There is no way you can lose." And that's when you know that one is a sham.
Otherwise that looks almost exactly like my idea, I can see how you would think I may be taking inspiration and run with the coins

I don't think people will want to play on a new gambling site with no trust, considering how a previous and pretty trustworthy one ran.
We have had similar cases here back 1 yrago. *digging out that case, some what like send 0.25 each time*

Only 22 blocks remain in Round 6, and there is a 93.75% (15/16) chance we will have a winner this time around.
As it stands right now "5" is the only ending without an entry current prize is 0.0836849BTC ($11.05)

I decided for the fun of it to run through the block chain and count up all the hash endings to see if any where neglected or if it's fairly uniform and the results I found suggest the distribution is fairly uniform and there is an equal chance of winning with any ending to your transaction.

Thats why I just threw in that edit and emphasized any amount, just toss over a satoshi or two, I have to start somewhere so why not give it a shot
