Topic: Let's play a game (Read 9019 times)

At least, I'm lucky the get in soon, been able to win half a coin overall !
The play was a lot shorter than I tought !

Looks like game over. Congrats to the winner: BitMofo!

So...?

This 2 BTC contribution appears to belong to FooBaer who was still asking for his to be doubled yesterday afternoon. Clearly not doubled yet, and clearly doesn't explain the claimed 4 BTC double 3 days ago.

The funny thing is that transaction d23b8ec28b10902d5882acc6e2a96418698fa571032bfa459ba417f9929a4e04 paid out 4 BTC before any 2 BTC deposit to the game address ever happened.  So he's not even doubling a pretend deposit to himself - he's doubling nothing.

Here's a summary of the 2 bets of 2 BTC and the 2 doubles to 4 BTC in the order they happened:


doubled nothing to 4 BTC:


bet of 2 BTC


ian's bet of 2 BTC


doubled ian's bet to 4 BTC:

No, definitely not ianbakewell.  Has to be a lie.

Post number 10 BiMofo lies claiming Another doubled for 4 BTC:

Post number 31 ianbakewell plays for the first time claiming "ill give it a try"

Post number 33 ianbakewell has not yet been paid and reminds BitMofo that his 2 BTC transfer is confirmed

Post number 45 BitMofo sends ianbakewell's 4 BTC

The transaction in post number 45 is ianbakewell's.  The transaction in post number 10 is a provable lie.

Until now I didn't feel you deserved a scammer tag.  You've pretty much played the game exactly as you said you would.  There was never any guarantee that people would get paid, nor any indication on how quickly people would get paid.  There was nothing dishonest or misleading in this interaction, and I had fun playing the game.  If it isn't over yet, then I look forward to the continued possibility that I may yet get doubled.  If it is over, then I take my loss without any animosity towards you.

If you were just dropping a transaction or two of your own into the tip jar to get things started, I can understand it. However, if you are trying to say that you never sent coins to yourself and claimed that you were doubling someone, then you are misleading and representing a fraudulent statement.  I have no problem with the game, but intentionally lying and misleading people who are playing your game is a problem and may deserve a request for a scammer tag.

Did you mean this instead?

That looks to me like a payment from you to Ian.  The one you wrote doesn't.

Edit: Oh, but the payment to Ian was after your post about having paid Ian.  So that's confusing.

Looking forward to it

The double was not to myself as ianbakewell can confirm

Guys I will be back, work has taken priorities.
Round 2/continuation this weekend!

Would people have played this differently if OP had written "I'm going to double everything sent to me - as soon as I can afford to do so using new payments"?  i.e. if he proclaimed up-front that it was a kind of a ponzi.

Yep. What's funny is he said that this is exactly what he was going to do from the beginning. I sent 1 BTC knowing full well I would 99% never see it again, but I'm a gambling man and thought if I could score a free 1 BTC out of it + the entertainment value then I'd get more than my money's worth. I think I still have gotten my money's worth, truth be told.  I can't wait for round 2!!

Pretty good "gamble" people seen the doubling got greedy started putting more coins up so where the OP just had to stop for a few hours n have more than he started with.  Well played.

I still haven't received a double:

Thought I would've been able to get in before BitMofo got out as it seemed like some transactions were being doubled after I had sent mine, but I do believe Mr. BitMofo has left the building with ~10BTC maybe? Maybe 5 BTC.  I was stuck in newbie lockdown until just now but I think the 1 BTC was gone the instant I sent the send button, regardless.  Enjoy your coins MOFO.

Also waiting for a return.  Maybe BitMoFo did'nt get back to his/her computer since back from work !

Giving a chance to the runner..

lol...i have been scammed...SCAMMER TAG PLEASE...

OP still owes me 1.5 BTC...actually 3 BTC.

Seems to early to have cashed out yet.  All he has to do is pay a few off to reassure people that he is still doubling, and he should get more players.  I'd think he could keep that up for a week or so and significantly increase his take.

Heck, if I get doubled up, I'll just plow it right back in.  I wrote it off as a loss when I started, I figured I'd keep doubling my play until I reached his cap.
