Ah, I see - though it does seem a little risky to keep all funds in a single cold wallet, no? Why put all BTC in one basket (so to speak)?
Well there's a 2-million USD bounty if you prove you can reverse elliptic curve multiplication.  Is that risky?

There's an address with 111,111 BTC in it. Try that first. Then there are a bunch of them with 50,000 BTC each. Then a handful with 10,000 BTC each.

Is any of the bank roll kept in cold storage?  How big is the hot wallet?  I am interested in investing, but would be very risky if the site was compromised if most funds kept in a hot wallet.

LOTS is kept in cold storage. Over a million dollars of the Bitcoins are.

...over $2M at current price.

Mechs, if you read the FAQ and Invest tab on the site, it will explain about cold storage, etc. Then come see us on chat, if you have questions.

Site profit as a percentage of total wagered (should converge to 1%, the house edge):
Code:
(parseFloat($('.sprofitraw')[0].innerText.replace(',','')) / parseFloat($('.swagered')[0].innerText.replace(',','')) * 100).toFixed(5)+'%'
current output:
"2.07705%"

Expected site profit:
Code:
(parseFloat($('.swagered')[0].innerText.replace(',','')) * 0.01).toFixed(8)

0.13^6 = 0.0000048

Ok, so the formula for consecutive losses is like this:

1 - chance to win% ^ number of consecutive losses = chance it will happen% ?

So using my favorite 87.7779% the result for 6 losses in a row is:
1-0.877779 ^ 6 =  0.0000033333045606140800

using that same formula, for 7 losses in a row the chance it will happen is 0.0000004073998167028140

Therefore, the chance of them not happening is:
99.9996666695439000% for 6 consecutive losses
99.9999592600183000% for 7 consecutive losses.

Is that correct?

That's what I mean, martingaling is only good for manipulating static odds.

For what Dabs is attempting to do, go on "forever" martingaling, it is detrimental and he is creating more volume than needed.

I can't martingale "forever", the plan is to martingale before the failure (or before the target catastrophic loss streak).

When you say static odds, you mean, I don't change the "chance to win" ? I'm about the only JD player who does 87.7779%. I don't play 90% or 50% or any other "chance to win".

Hmm. It seems martingaling is better only if your aiming to less than double your initial balance.

I'm willing to bet you're wrong on that too if you like?

Can't quite reconcile these two seemingly contradictory statements:

Martingaling creates more volume than doing a one off bet, thus causing a lower EV for the bettor.

That's not what I'm arguing though? Of course that two bet martingale will work better, since on average you will wager ~2 BTC (Cba to figure out exact amount) to achieve that, yet on the 3 BTC 1.3333x you will always wager 3 Bitcoins. Your EV would be -.02 and -.03 respectively.

Are you saying that betting more is better or worse?

That's what I mean, martingaling is only good for manipulating static odds.

Can you explain your term 'static odds' - you mean when you can't change the odds between each bet?

Zaih I gotta ask, why do I never see u playing Just-Dice or in chat? You've played a lot of the other dice games and seem like a talkative guy haha

I'm always in Just Dice chat whenever I'm on the computer. I just lurk a bit now. I've joined in on a fair share of the conversations recently though.

And I haven't gambled in a few weeks now. Trying to keep it that way. I sorta lost my urge to, which I'm more than happy with since I'm some how still up overall.

Martingaling creates more volume than doing a one off bet, thus causing a lower EV for the bettor. Martingaling is only useful for manipulating static odds.

I'd be willing to put a wager on this if you wish.

OK.  My proposition is the following:

Suppose you have 3 BTC on Just-Dice (or any other dice site that lets you pick your own odds and has a 1% house edge) and want to turn it into 4 BTC.

You could bet the 3 BTC all in one go at 1.33333x.  If it wins, you have 4 BTC.  If it loses you have 0.

Or you could bet 1 BTC at 2x, and if you lose, bet the other 2 BTC at 2x.  If either bet wins, you have 4 BTC.  If they both lose you have 0.

Both of these strategies turn your 3 BTC into 4 BTC or 0 BTC.

I'm claiming that the 2-bet martingale sequence (1, 2) works more often than the 1-bet all-in bet.

And I'm willing to wager on it too.  How much?
