The chance to hit ODD or EVEN = 5 odd numbers and 5 even numbers is 50%?
When I bet $100 and lose = $100 gone
When I bet $100 and win = $100 x 1.85 = $185
As the chance is 50:50, I will statistically win every 2nd time and will get 15% less than the $100 I lost the bet before. Therefore, my expected value per bet is -15% : 2 = -7,5%. So your house edge is 7,5% per bet? Correct me if I misunderstood something.
Exactly the point! The house edge here is so high. No one should even consider playing it as in the long run no bettor will win this even at 50% chances! I don't know if the owner understands why there are a lot of people complaining about the house edge and he doesn't care. He just keeps on repeating his words as his reply.
Ah ok so I was not the one getting crazy.
I was away from the forum for a long time so first thing I checked was the new gambling sites that popped out!
Betting on the btc price isn't new for sure, but here the btc price and your knowledge about it don't matter at all as it's only a question of odd or even. I'm not a professional trader but unless there is a statistical difference between the two (after all maybe people put 60% of even prices just because of cultural influences) it's just a head or tail guess. So WTF IS THIS HOUSE EDGE? Oo
I mean the main purpose of small house edge is that you have a chance to win!
On a dice site with 1% house edge (which is the common edge, from Primedice to FortuneJack it's the house edge they all have) the site is on profit but the small house edge makes you able to make a real winning streak. So you have a real chance to win, that's the whole point of gambling!
But here you're 7.5 times more expensive and greedy than ANY other website... Moreover your idea is just a disguised head or tail game, the fact that it's based on btc price is... irrelevant.
You gotta change that man, even 2% edge is still twice as expensive as any other gambling site without any reason
But if you manage to find an idea actually using the btc price you might have something original on your site
