"1 seconds" is messy. 
Can you tell I'm running out of things to 'complain' about?

Instead of refreshing the page every 10 seconds, do a local countdown or use AJAX!
I have updated the page to reload the counter with a call to the server instead of reloading. Thank you for asking.
To mark 50 completed pots I have set the initial bid for the next auction to be 1 BTC and for tomorrow evening.
Shouldn't be very hard to code a php bot for this.
repeat every second {
define max bid
get all transactions from bidding address -> verify if all of them has 0 confirmations -> verify if last bid is mine
if not -> get last bid value, add 1 satoshi -> bid
}
repeat every second {
define max bid
get all transactions from bidding address -> verify if all of them has 0 confirmations -> verify if last bid is mine
if not -> get last bid value, add 1 satoshi -> bid
}
Correct, and you can hit http://y4x.com/json.php to see information on the upcoming and current address.

Correct, I will do an AJAX call to the JSON-API. I can probably do that today, I put the last part in place just now which is the automated generation and entry of the vanity addresses.

I let the game run with no gaps last night to test the payment scripts. I am looking closely and I don't think any errors occurred. Cool ! Late last night I set it back to the standard 5 games + 4 hour gap schedule.
I think that's funny and awesome that there are just a few players and you all pick up the initial bid
. I saw the one where the initial bid didn't make it in, that's a fun twist.
I changed all the links to blockchain.info, they seem the same to me but blockchain.info has been requested twice. I also reversed the list of Past Winners. I think the results table is too crowded for more stats at the moment, but I keep it in mind.

Wasn't a real apology, hence the
Hope you can keep doubling your money, I need some sleep.

It seems the 3 of us who play this game are all on different sleep patterns and rarely clash with each other!
Yep, so it does look like :-) But hopefully there will be competition..

No need to apologise. That's kind of the game...

I won 0.01 3 times in a row since I was playing without competition.
Then my 0.011 was beaten by a 0.0111, and in my hurry to regain the lead I accidentally bid 0.1111 after my initial bid had been confirmed.
So that's a 0.1111 profit for the site operator.

Now that there are lots of games running it might be better to show the results in reverse order, so that I don't have to keep scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the most recent results.
Maybe also by default only show the 25 (or whatever) most recent games, but offer a link that shows them all, or pages through them 25 at a time.

The reward is only player-created bids? It says 0.011, but shouldn't it include the initial bid and be 0.021?
The reward is all the payments that get into the first block.
In the case you're looking at, the first player-created bit got confirmed *before* the initial 0.1 bid!
See http://blockchain.info/address/1Y4xaSKCVmRCxP5a9Lfp85SwNP4zocQCZ?filter=2
I notice that the website is still linking to blockexplorer.com for the 'bid address' column. The above type of link is much nice - it only shows deposits from the given address, and is as a result clearer to read.
Also, the table on the website doesn't list the 'initial bid' amount. That would be interesting to see. Also consider adding "start time" (or "game duration") and possibly "number of bids in winning block", "total number of bids", "value of late bids" (where the last 2 would possibly continue to rise after the game was over).
