Guys, this will sound retarded, but I went to Satoshi Dice to make a bet and I literally could not find the wallet address that you send the BTC to !?!?!?!?!

anyone want to tell me where the **** it is?!

They just blocked SatoshiDice for all US IP Addresses; you could be caught up in that.

"Bet adress" in "Bets", lol ;D

Wow, I wasn't aware of that. I wonder if they were contacted by some kind of authority. Despite that, you'll probably just end up losing btc there anyway.

Thanks for that info crew.   I really appreciate the super fast responses.

I am in Australia, but you could be right, cos I cant find it.

They're at the bottom of the page on the left. They all start with 1dice.

Wait, my bad, I just realised that ALL those addresses are able to be bet on... crazy!!

I am going to bet $1 and try to win $1000 !!

has anyone ever won big?! :o

Yeah, look under the "big wins" tab.

I was loosing too much on the 1000:1 bets.. I have moved to 100:1...

The cool thing is that you know the site is legit cos you can see the transactions on the block chain of people getting paid.

its not really a dice game tho.... its just a statistics game... you cant really have a dice with 64,000 sides can you... it would just look like a round ball.

well i did tried, with a 90% so-called winning odds.. bet 0.01, but i only received 0.0005 in returns i guess haha

That means you lost right? I lost like 0.1 BTC on satoshi dices, and I told my self I am never playing it again.

Think you would just need thousands of dice.

It's quite useful when you are just starting out because it allows you to send small test transactions to see if everything works and it gives you a good starting point for how the block chain works etc. I've used it a few times, won lost etc.

Let freedom ring!

This guy won $230,000 on Satoshi Dice.   Not bad.

You could just roll one ten-sided die 6,400 times.  ;D

Any dice game is just a statistics game.  The physical dice are just a reasonable way of generating random numbers.  In the case of Satoshi Dice, the hash of your transactionID combined with the daily "secret" act as "virtual dice" to generate random numbers.

EDIT:  I meant to say "You could just roll one ten-sided die 5 times."  You would roll it once for each digit and if the result was higher than 64,000 you would simply discard and re-roll the 5 digits again.  You would either need a ten-sided die that was marked 0 through 9, or if you used a die marked 1 through 10 you would need to write down a 0 any time you rolled a 10.

Guys, I should have mentioned last night (but I was real tired & not thinking straight) that I lost all my money on SatoshiDice and thought that I wouldnt be able to get more coins till Monday.  Cos i am over in Australia where the only way to buy BTC is to go to the bank.   But I found a new website that lets you buy BTC 24/7 !!!

If you are in Australia, hit up buybitcoinaustralia.com.au  it is the cheapest price I could find, but more importantly, it doesnt require going to the bank in business hours.

Actually, you couldn't. That would result in a normal distribution (in which numbers closer to 32,000 are more probable) instead of a uniform distribution (all numbers equally probable). To get a random number from 0 to 65,535 (which is what SatoshiDice actually uses, not 64,000) from real dice, you would need five 8-sided dice (or roll one 8-sided die five times) and one 2-sided die (or coin). Roll one for each octal digit, then convert to decimal.

It's not my place but you gotta know when to stop buddy. Look to invest in BTC stocks and assets (imo).

You're right.  I was typing without thinking.  My intent was to roll a die for each decimal digit (which is why I suggested a ten-sided die), but somewhere in the middle of my sentence I lost track of what I meant to suggest and ended up suggesting 6,400 rolls instead of 5 rolls.


Your suggestion would certainly work.  You could also roll a 4 sided die 8 times (once for every pair of bits) and convert to decimal, or you could roll a 20 sided die 4 times (once for each hex digit), and re-roll any value larger than 16.

For those who have difficulty with converting to decimal, you could just roll a 10 sided die 5 times (once for each digit), and discard the result and re-roll if you end up with a number larger than 65,535.

Hi,

A lot of people bet BTC.... don't worry only the house can win...

Like any casino you go to lose money...

There are profits to be made, But you need to know when to quit for the day.

People seem to think it's always up, up, up!

Need to get up 10% - 15% and just stop. People keep on going and it gets bad quickly.

Does that really matter? I would think any vpn would get around that restriction pretty easily.

Rubbish. You're just as likely (actually, slightly more likely due to the house edge) to lose 10-15% initially, and if you keep on gambling to try to "recoup your loses", you're just going to end up losing all your money.

What you suggest is the same idea as the Martingale strategy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28betting_system%29), in which the gambler bets increasingly large amounts, so that a single win will recover all previous loses with change left over. It doesn't work. It just turns a small chance of winning a large amount and a large chance of losing a small amount, into a large chance of winning a tiny amount (in relation to your wager, which quickly grows to be enormous) and a small chance of losing everything, giving you the same odds as Russian roulette.

Of course it would.  The point isn't to prevent U.S. citizens from participating.  The point is to avoid openly advertising to U.S. Citizens and reduce the risk of comming under attack from U.S. law enforcement.
