So, the round ends when the next block is mined?

is there any maximum bet limit? because if I go and bet 10 bitcoins or 100 then I will probably win...

Exactly, round ends when the next block was mined.

A single deposit is limited by 100mBTC, exactly for the the very reason you specified. A larger deposit will be automatically refunded.
So,what happens if two people bets 100mbtc? it's a draw? who wins?

Both wins, each collects half the pot. See https://p50pot.com/round.html?r=351176 for example.


Thank you so much! I understand it know, I may try it if I feel I can win  Tongue

So, If you bet a large amount, you are more likely to win than if you bet a small amount. Have I understood it correctly?
It's not easy for me to get the way of playing  Undecided

It is very open ended. If you deposit a large amount AND you're the only one doing so, then yes, this might increase your chance of winning. However, if another person is doing the same thing... then you lose your edge. A small deposit can then land between the two big ones, and win a hefty sum.

There's always a certain aspect of luck, no matter how smart you get. And there is always an aspect of strategy, no matter lucky your opponents are Smiley
I understand...

what happens when you send from more addresses?

Nothing special, use as many address as you'd like. Just keep in mind that prizes are sent back to the address which originated the deposit, so always use an address you control yourself (no web wallets).
i mean when you send from more addresses in 1 tx id
i mean address A and B send 0.001 btc to address C in 1 transaction for example
this is what sometimes happens when you have more wallets and use for example blockchain.info

Assuming address C in your example is the rounds target address, the prize (or refund) will be sent to either A or B, whichever is the first one in the transaction's inputs.

when a block is created it takes 2 minutes before something changes on your website, can you change that?
this will cause many people to still make a deposit, waste mining fees etc.

This is good feedback. Thanks you! I will look into this later today.
ok thanks! for the rest the site looks perfect just sad from the max 100 mbtc  Huh i love whales

yes, there is not that much to calculate because almost never you are the last one and next people will wagger what they think is the best regarding their bet
a bot cannot beat it and it's fair since the same rules count for everyone
anyways my recent deposit (really small) doesn't show up
and is it max 100 mbtc per address/per person or per transaction id?

Once the transaction reach my server it will be shown with minimal latency. I do not control network propagation time. Consider increasing the bitcoin network fee to get a faster deposit or to increase the chance of a deposit being collected to the current block. For example, the last round (#351179) had a few deposits which did not make it into the block. A bigger network fee would have helped there.

The max is 100mBTC per deposit. You can deposit as many times as you want per round, as long as each deposit is under 100mBTC. If you deposit more, you'd be refunded automatically.

I was interested at first but  then I read this : "Bots are welcome." So if this is purely mathematical game and bots are allowed why humans (unless they are some genius level mathematics here) want to play this game. I am not a calculator after all.

There is really no way to prevent bots from participating. However, and that's the beauty of it, since the game is very open-ended, even a bot can be tricked by a human player. Like the move that leen93 just did. If his tx would be collected to the block, he'd be looking at a nice profit.
