A BTCjam deposit was taking awhile so I found someone to spot it for me ..

Seems like Satoshi Dice was reusing inputs a few times when paying out winners .. hmmm .. heh

The two transactions are almost exact duplicates of each other (identical inputs and outputs), and were sent within minutes of each other. Looks like your client somehow glitched and sent the same transaction twice. The first transaction has been confirmed, and SatoshiDice has already paid out on it,
so you should have two confirmed transactions in your wallet: one for -BTC3.005 and one for +BTC4.012196. If that's the case, you've got absolutely nothing to worry about. However, if you have an extra -BTC3.005 transaction which is unconfirmed, you will need to remove this transaction from your wallet (exactly how to do this will depend on what client you're using).

Note that since both transactions have identical inputs, and one of them has been confirmed, none of the coins still in your wallet are affected, however you shouldn't try moving your entire balance to another wallet, as the extra transaction may be causing your client to display an incorrect balance. Please tell us what client you're using, and exactly what transactions are appearing in it.

I have been placing bets back and forth with no problem until i got and extra transaction from a bet that i never made, it was an extra 3btc that just appeared in my wallet. Now when i go to the transaction in blockchain.info it tells me that it is a double spend. Will this have any affect on the rest of the coins in that address? will those double spent coins be combined with my good coins if i place another bet? can someone explain it a little better to me as i dont know too much about double spends... thanks alot!!

Is this with the Bitcoin.org client, or were you using the Blockchain.info/wallet or some other?
