This is so dumb.
Taking profits from the next one to pay the last, pyramid scheme 101.

20.48 No Sale
Suddenly you need to return 20.48, but you've already used the money to pay back the last investment of 15.36. You've got a "house" cut of 5.12, but you're still short 15.36. The only way you're going to profit is scamming and not paying people back.
I will explain this tomorrow around 3pm EST time for the both of you as it will take a lot of typing and I am extremely pissed off from another thread. And do not want to get snippy with you and start some big commotion over someone else's stupidity. And I have no interest in that. So if it matters to you check back here around that time and I will ahve edited this post hopefully with everything,Yep, someone hasn't done the maths
Okay, So I am using hole numbers just to make it easy to show. It would in theory work with any number tho as long as the multiplier is the same.

Now allow me to explain what this means. As I do like to make this point clear. I was actualy planning on making a nice long addition to the main thread but, this is just as fine. Actually nice to see bitcoins are worth enough now people are worried about what they do with them. But that's off topic anyhow.
The last person to bet is guaranteed 128 Bitcoin at the least. So the easiest thing to do is refund the top 2 people's money. Which means you have 255-84.5 in paid back money is 170.5
170-64=106.5
Then in order to make back the money the game plays against "ghost.player1" which bets as seen in hidden game not taking any benefit just regaining the money it invested. Which allows the "Last player" from the original game to make his money back. Then once it shows in the wallet that there is enough funds to pay the "last player" back it reopens the game to the public.
Of course your asking, BUT YOU MAKE 0 MONEY, barely break even?!?!?!?!
Well, as it may be visible by the post under the OP I am not interested in profit at all at this time. Just getting the game's name out there and showing that it does what I say it does. Once we get a steady stream of users the multiplier will be reduced to 125%-135% and obviously the house will retain more money allowing for me to make a small amount of money off of it.
The game was originally made to be added to a much bigger project but I thought, the best way to get reputation is to let the world see your prototype. So this is what I have, feel free to try the bitcoin ladder of wealth, Again I personally guarantee all funds in the game.
Thanks
