Some people are born unlucky, this kind of thing is precisely why I rarely rely on luck, it always backfires.

My favourite one is on RPGs.

"You shoot in the face at point blank range"

"You miss"

^ Nearly every fucking time, this is one of the reasons I hate turn based RPGs.

Now I know we're dealing with money in your case but it's the same sort of thing, with money in particular you should never really on a percentage of success to generate you an income but consistency instead. Gambling is no way to make money and should be done for fun no matter what people say.

It was for fun, and if I would of lost the 0.011 early on than whatever.
But after 5 days I started to feel foolishly proud of its success, started looking at the possibility of running multiple of the auto-bet bots under the same configuration.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is that I originally had no faith in this experiment. But after nearly a week I started to build a sentimental attachment to the experiment, something that I extensively try to avoid.
So now that it went from a on fire success, to absolute failure in 5 seconds, This thing that was suppose to mean nothing has now ruined my emotional state for the rest of the day.

Gah...just got to walk away.

No purpose to this post, I just want to vent.

I have been messing around with some Dust coins across different dice games out there.

I found one that has a Auto-bet feature that I found interesting. I pre-loaded the account with 0.011 btc about a week ago, configured the Auto-bet feature so that it starts with a base bet of just 5 sat, If it loses than it doubles and goes again, if it wins it returns to the base bet amount and repeats.

5 Full days this bot ran, Millions and millions of rolls. It dragged itself from 0.011 btc to 0.064 btc, it already exceeded my expectations.

The bot was running 24 hours a day for the full 5 days, I checked on it a couple of times a day just to see how its doing.

Well less than a hour ago I checked on the bot... WHILE I was watching it in real time I saw physics break down, 21 loses in a row....21.
Let me show you what 21 consecutive loses looks like,

0.00000005 
0.00000010
0.00000020
0.00000040
0.00000080
0.00000160
0.00000320
0.00000640
0.00001280
0.00002560
0.00005120
0.00010240
0.00020480
0.00040960
0.00081920
0.00163840
0.00327680
0.00655360
0.01310720
0.02621440
Than 1 final losing bet of about 0.0115 to bring my final balance to 0.00000000


Ohhhhhh I hate myself so much now.
