Topic: I made 100BTC with Satoshi's dice. Is this normal? - page 6. (Read 15380 times)
The warning on SD says that you need a wallet that can receive from the same address that you send. I have Bitcoin-QT. Anyone know if that'll work?
But how much did you lose?
(sorry had to ask
)
(sorry had to ask
) As the proprietor of SatoshiDice, I can tell you that because you won that 100btc, my family will now not be able to eat this week. So enjoy your winnings!!! 
Actually, someone won 900btc from SatoshiDice a few weeks ago on one bet. THAT really hurt.
People win and lose all the time on the site, but please remember that gambling should always be considered fun entertainment, never let it become an addiction. Also, for those of you who win money from the site, I encourage you to spend some portion of it in the Bitcoin economy. It helps nurture the ecosystem and Satoshi will bless you with good luck.

What kind of reserves do you need to run the site?
Also, couldn't help but notice that someone making the max bet on the 64000x multiplier would win 3200BTC if they won
Do you have enough to pay that out instantly?
Oh man, I feel for you.
Try stopping a gambler when they're winning,
Then you'll know the real reason, the house always wins.

though iirc satoshidice was running at a loss for a while, i do not know if that is the case now

About 24 hours ago they were 3000 BTC up overall:

Well, you guys were right. I ended up losing it all in a couple big bets, then I got back up to 30 BTC before losing most of it with the martingale strategy. Now I'm at zero. It's a weird feeling, to go from $0 to making $1000, then back to zero in a few days. Maybe I'll try Satoshi's dice again, but I've learned to quit while on top, since it's incredibly easy to lose massive sums of bitcoins QUICK.
I guess I just answered my original question. This is how the site stays afloat.

Pretty much. If 1000 people that gamble there always win 100 BTC, the site will be closed tomorrow.
Some people win big, some lose all their money.
Man, I got pissed when I went from .5btc to 3btc and lost it all, no way i could cope with losing 100

This just kind of pisses me off. But, hope you had fun and learned a few things. Don't do it again.
This seems incredibly easy and too good to be true. What am I missing here? The coins are confirming and all is well, but I can't imagine how this site stays profitable giving away $1000+ to a user. Does everyone usually win this much?
Hehe. Definitely not. I ended up -25BTC down first time I played. Never again. Makes me want to set up something similar.

Shit, I came in too late to warn you on this. I guess I just answered my original question. This is how the site stays afloat.
Only way I've managed to stay in the win for SD was to keep betting in multiples of the previous bet, and stopping the game 100% while I was in the win.

Wait, what? My idol owns SatoshiDice? Note to self: Do due diligence before choosing idols. (I have no opinion one way or the other on SD)

It's like BC-Casino, once time I rise close to 100BTC playing blackjack starting with 10BTC and cashout, since then I keep playing and until now I almost lost 50BTC plus the 100BTC earned... But now I quit once for all... 
I'll send strippers and coke for you 
shit, it sounds like I should be playing satoshidice..
That's awesome, congrats. If I were you I would jet out of there ASAP and never look back. 
It's best to stop when you are ahead. The house always wins.
If you do win, you've beaten the odds, so get out before it gets a chance to win it back.

@unitclick, i wrote a script to do martingale betting for satoshi dice (it's on this forum somewhere), and quit when i was 30 btc ahead. 100% quit. satoshi dice was a lot of fun for me but if i never play it again, i'll remain ahead forever.
I don't like your attitude! If you come back, I'll send strippers and coke for you
Chasing doesn't work for martingale. All will be lost. ALL.
Martingale's are for stepping up to a roulette wheel for 15 minutes and leaving with a few extra bucks looking like a champ in front of your friends. Not chasing.
The longer you play, the probability of you losing everything quickly approaches 1.
For the love of god, don't do this.
