Just-Dice.com

Check out the gambling site I made.  It's a dice game, with the following features:

* low 1% house edge
* near-instant rolls
* off-the blockchain, so no blockchain spam
* high limits - currently you can win 21 BTC per roll - and the limits go up daily
* win up to 1 million times your bet
* pick your own odds of winning
* on-site chat room
* provably fair (of course)
* roll "high" or "low"
* keyboard shortcuts for quicker, easier play

The really neat thing about it though is that you can also "be the house", and invest any balance you're not using in the site's bankroll.  Then when other players lose, you win.

For investors, here's the feature list:

* massive 1% house edge Wink
* investing is easy and instant; click the 'invest' tab for details
* take your investment out instantly too
* site operator (that's me) is a long-standing forum member in good standing with the community
* invest as little as 0.01 BTC; no upper limit
* minimal fees of just 1% on net investment profits to cover site expenses

So now you can easily have your own share in a dice game without the hassle and expense of using stock exchanges, passthroughs, etc.  All investments received go instantly to the site's bankroll and increase the maximum bet size offered to players.

Just-Dice.com

Post your user ID (from the 'account' tab) in this thread and I'll credit you a bitcent to get you started.  You are free to gamble, invest, or just withdraw it as you please.  Smiley

I've suspended the promotion for the time being due to an influx of low-count newbie spam bots.  I'll come up with an alternative scheme.  Suggestions welcome.  Smiley

Actually this is pretty cool.

I meant to put the earnings back in as well but I forgot. Investing is infinitely better than gambling.

Note the "invest all" button.  Saves you having to copy 8 decimal places.

Even more useful is "divest all", because your investment changes every second as people play, so you don't have a hope of typing the right number exactly to get it all out.

The promotion? Does that mean you're not giving away free money anymore? I didn't post my ID immediately after I signed up, but waited a little while...

My ID is 525.

The investment feature is great!

Thanks.  I'm glad you like it.  I just watched you do that thing where you take the money out of the site's bankroll, squeeze a few bitcents out of it with 98% bets, then put it straight back in again.  Smiley

Poor impulse control.
dooglus, are you actually sleeping at the moment? I got 6 hours sleep last night, and you were active then and again first thing this morning.

What brand coffee do you use?

I think I passed out as soon as the generator ran out of gas at around 5am.  And woke up from a weird dream about scamming drugs from the school nurse at around 9am.

I'm a little excited about the new site, and am a tad OCD at the best of times, so you could say it's got my attention...

Hey, I love that dream! Almost the same as my favourite, if you replace "school nurse" with  "nurse in a very short white latex uniform with white fishnets" and replace "drugs" with "the congress of a cat in the yawning position, followed by the pressing of an elephant".

Due to some very clever and well thought out investment methods, I'm now up 6%.

Who let the bots out?

I guess this ends the promotion.  Thanks all for your interest, your suggestions, and most of all your investments.

You've collectively invested enough in the site that it can now afford to safely risk over 20 BTC per roll.  Pick whatever odds you like, from 98% chance of winning all the way down to 1 chance in a million, and win up to 20 BTC (and climbing by the hour as more players "play house").

now that I think of it, a better filter would be "Only show wins/losses over: xxx BTC"

I had:

Code:
          p Only show bets from other players if they:
            ul
              li risk at least
                input#min_risk
                |  BTC or

              li win or lose at least
                input#min_win
                |  BTC

under stats, show what % is user-invested and what % is the house's

I'm not sure the distinction is important.  The users are the house.  When I put the site up yesterday, the bankroll was empty.  I wasn't even the first investor, and don't expect to be a significant part of the bankroll going forward.  Perhaps you would see "oh, 75% is the house, so even if the users pull out, there will still be a big enough betting pool", but what if I pull out my investment?  I'm just likely to need my coins back as any other investor I expect.

also under stats, "site is up", add next to it:   (xxx btc/day")

I'm thinking of having charts on the site for that kind of thing and don't want to clutter the screen (heaven forfend! Wink)

an option : be anonymous / don't show my username & id# on the main page

That's an interesting one.  Because to verify a bet is provably fair, you need to know the server seed, and the server seed is tied to the user until they change it.  I guess it would work though - you would know that bet 1 and bet 2 were the same user, but not their user id.  So you could be chatting to them and not know.

Similarly you would want to be able to have your leaderboard listing be anonymous too - for when there are leaderboards.

Edit: what happens if your email gets hacked and your Just-Dice account doesn't?  I guess the answer is the same as the answer to "what happens if your google auth phone gets lost?" (although in that case hopefully you have a backup of the secret).


Ahh, that reminds me of the other suggestion I was going to make:

emergency return address:

let me set a bitcoin address (that once set, cannot be changed) that my coins will be returned to in a situation like this.

Another situation this would be used in, would be if you ever had to take just-dice down and needed to return everyone's investments.

A few mining sites have this I think.

Funny.  That's exactly what I'm working on right now.  Smiley



now that I think of it, a better filter would be "Only show wins/losses over: xxx BTC"

a few more ideas:

under stats, show what % is user-invested and what % is the house's

also under stats, "site is up", add next to it:   (xxx btc/day")

an option : be anonymous / don't show my username & id# on the main page

Another suggestion:

Have the option to link an email address to an account.

Let me set it so that whenever I want to withdraw from my account, a code is sent to my email address, and I need that code to complete the withdraw.

This way, if my account were ever hacked, the hacker would also have to control my email account, too.

I know you already support google authenticator, but not everyone wants to involve their phone with a betting site Wink

Somebody suggested this on the chat earlier (maybe it was you?) but I didn't understand.  Thanks for explaining it.  I'll add it to the list.

Incidentally, the google auth app doesn't talk to google about what sites you're using it for.  All it does it hashes the current time with the secret it gets from the QR code and produces a 6 digit number.  That requires no communication with google central at all.  But still, I understand not everyone wants to use it.

Edit: what happens if your email gets hacked and your Just-Dice account doesn't?  I guess the answer is the same as the answer to "what happens if your google auth phone gets lost?" (although in that case hopefully you have a backup of the secret).

a suggestion:

have a filter on the main page (the All Bets tab), "Only show bets over: (.001, .01, .1, 1, 5, etc)" so I can limit the display to large bets - sort of like what bitcoinity.org has on their site ("Don't show trades below")

Funny.  That's exactly what I'm working on right now.  Smiley
