I wasn’t aware that Windice was getting whales who wager huge amounts, as we often see whales at Bitdice and if that’s what you’re comparing between these two sites then I’m really happy for Windice. @janggernaut in my personal opinion if people can’t wager 10 Satoshi's per bet then they should quit gambling for a while, and focus on saving more funds before they resume gambling again as playing on a slow site will be very boring.
Yeah, windice has always had whales, look at the previous competitions they had, literally broke over 30 btc wagered in few days by some people, which shows you they are here.
I am not saying they wager that much all the time, they only wager that much for competition so they can be first, however that basically shows you that those people exists and here, so even if they do not wager that much outside of competitions, they must be still wagering more than a smaller gambler.
However that doesn't mean there aren't people who wager low as well. So, windice is inclusive about the gamblers they have, they have big whales but they have smaller fish, they welcome all amounts of people. Hence why I think 10 million bets on windice means it is still a decent sizable wagered amount.
It's been always a question for me, whether they are wagering so much for the contest, or they are just high rollers always wagering big amounts. From the perspective of profitability it's irrational to wager 47.9 BTC, like lordpadel here
in order to win 0.012 BTC as a prize, because you are likely to lose 0.47 BTC along the way. So, I'm inclined to believe that they are not doing it for the contest, but rather high rollers doing it on a regular basis.
