Looks like I just didn't wait long enough... took 18 minutes to go through. Oops. (but I won, so w/e :p)

Sorry for the noob question but does anyone else have a problem with never getting anything back? (i.e., you don't even get the 0.00000001 back to indicate a loss)

I'm using the standard Bitcoin client so it's not an issue with my client not being able to receive coins on the same address they were sent from.

I made a 0.1 BTC bet, won
Made a 0.09 BTC bet, lost
Made a 0.1 BTC bet, nothing

Dice 50% (1dice97ECuByXAvqXpaYzSaQuPVvrtmz6)

Appreciate any help/info

I've got the dice virus, I went down 2 and won those and went another 1 up.
Kinda like this:

-1
-1
+1.5
+1.5

Over the course of 4 days.

Neat, at least you didn't lose more than a hundred btc.

I'll throw everything I have left (5 coins) into that

thanks for the tip!

It won't work if everyone buys SDICE shares instead of playing SDICE... We need someone to keep losing to pay our dividends!

The cool thing here is that hey! There exists a venture in Bitcoinland which can afford to lose a bet at such odds and it barely registers in the bottom line.

That's what I took away from it too... SatoshiDice pays out 64000 times a player's stake without missing a beat. The 'bottom line' is making good progress on recovering from the big payout, too (which is the sudden drop 2/3 of the way through Feb 24th):

Boy we've grown.

It did temporary impact share prices through, but that's a good thing since I managed to pick some up at cheap prices :)

Holy cowwwww. I had noticed no one had hit the less than 1 yet and SDice was up about 25% on it already so she was due for a hit.

Yes, clearly that's the way universe.math.random(onlyInYourHead) works...

Are there funds available to exploit this for marketing Erik? Virtually all marketing for high prize games/lottos are about what the winners do with... or even more directly - what would you do with...!

Blow it all gambling! I think that the winner may prefer not to have the winnings associated with a likeness of himself, lest he discover why Uncle Sam inc. really doesn't like online gambling.

Hooooly shit. Congratulations to that person.
If I had bet .02 to win over a thousand BTC, I think I'd have a heart attack lol.

There have only been 88,000 "lessthan 1" bets, so 1 is the most likely number of winners.

Yes - the median quantile is one winner in 88000 bets, and the 95% CI is 0 to 3 wins in 88000 bets.

WOW, is it really the first time < 1?

It's not the first time someone's rolled a zero, but it is the first time someone has rolled a zero when playing "lessthan 1".

In 6.5 million bets we'd expect to see something of the order of 100 zero rolls.

Thanks. I hope. This is the longest I have ever had a bet not show up on the lookup. Wondered if anybody else has had this problem

I made a bet 4 hours ago, but forgot to add the fee. It hasn't shown up on the Lookup and the transaction is still unconfirmed. Am I out that coin because I was an idiot?

It should get there eventually.

The good thing (for shareholders) is that a lot more will be betting at lessthan 1 now

Congrats again to whoever won lessthan 1!
