You cannot escape the house edge. Never.

http://www.goodbonusguide.com/casino-articles/roulette-systems-destroying-the-martingale-theory-myth.html

Well, if you play long enough, your losses will get arbitrarily close to the house edge.

But if you only play a few times you can end up making a profit.

The guy who only ever makes one bet and doubles his stake has "escaped the house edge", hasn't he?

I assume that the purpose of a bot is to play long enough.

No, anyone using a bot is likely to have played too long. The longer you play, the more likely your luck tends to expected, and the vloser you tend to get to a loss equating to the house edge. That's just rephrasing what dooglus wrote.

It boils down to: the longer you martingale, the more likely your winnngs are to be a range that can be mathematically described as follows:

Code:

lost your shirt < earnings < (1 - house edge) * amount you bet

Can you add a feature, to the results of the past N bets, If greater than a certain threshold, and suspended for 10 minutes

Can you be a bit clearer please? You want it to pause when it's won a certain amount in the last so many bets? Is that net win? Like suppose we start at 1 BTC, we lose a bunch, doubling up each time, the last N=3 bets were 64, 128, and 256, and only the 256 won, does that count as a win of 64? Because it's really only a win of about 1 BTC. And what's with the weird quoting? Gyrsur and myself didn't say any of that stuff...

Quote from: maomao on February 13, 2013, 01:36:36 PM

like the example above,can we query to result directly from the satoshidice website.

That's a good idea. I'll add both when I need a break from 'real work'.

Using your script, localhost as allowed ip in conf. Running from command line. Still get that http error Sad

I PM'ed him, used TeamViewer to diagnose the problem. Turned out he had two copies of the script, and was running an old copy while editing the new copy. Running the new copy showed straight away that his wallet was encrypted and locked.

I modified the script so it prompts for a passphrase, but my Windows skills are weak, and apparently it didn't work. So I guess he either ended up unlocking his wallet manually or hardcoding the passphrase into the script.

The last I heard from him:
"[11:31:16 PM] made a whole bitcoin tonight!!"

I made a few other changes to the script. like adding the option to set constant starting and stopping bet sizes, rather than using a percentage of your balance, and stopping if a certain file exists.

Warning: fopen(http://[email protected]:8332/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error in C:\xampp\htdocs\jsonRPCClient.php on line 132

Run the script on the command line:

php bot.php

not from a web server.

Try using my script and the json-rpc PHP file that's with it. It has better error handling.

So, what next? Buy bitcoins to feed the SD monster with 20.48 --> 40.96 --> 81.92?? NO WAY!! DON'T FEED THE SD MONSTER. IT IS WASTE OF TIME.

I think we all realise that there's no way to guarantee a win at satoshidice, and that the longer you play, the more likely you are to make a loss. It can be fun/exciting/scary to use Martingale betting, but of course you should never risk more than you can afford to lose, because you might end up losing everything you bet.

you cannot successfully play SD with logic or a script. forget to play with this!

to beat SD you have to play with illogicalness. this is where the fear of SD comes from!

nope that's old-fashioned and against modern recommendations

pretty much any php parser will work just fine without a closing ?> at the end of the file, and leaving it off the end of the file makes it less likely you'll accidentally introduce unwanted whitespace in the output.

I didn't know that. Thanks!

or first try the bare minimum:

Code:

require_once('jsonRPCClient.php');
$b = new jsonRPCClient('http://KJTetc:MyRpcpass@localhost:8332/');
print_r($b->getinfo());

You'll need a ?> at the end too.

https://github.com/dooglus/sdbot

BTC2 received, thanks. Good luck! (you'll need it if you plan to use martingale betting for very long...)

When you run PHP on a web server there is typically a 30s time limit.
You can increase that in the PHP code with:
set_time_limit(3600);
Which will mean an hour from the time that was executed.
Though if you put that in the correct loop (probably the innermost loop?) it will stop it from ever timing out.
