Min deposit 0.25, Max deposit 7 BTC  (ONLY FROM THE BITCOIN CLIENT). No limit to amount of bets one player can make.
"Overshoot Insurance ": If there will be less than 3 stakes from 4 to 7 btc, then the game gets only 4 BTC, excess returns (nevertheless the first 7 BTC deposit will receive "lucky 7" prize anyway).
Make sure you send from an address that you can receive with, so don't use an ewallet service! Do not send from mybitcoin.com or pools.

Payout system:
So, we have an alternation ranking + several special nominations...
People will be paid 1.5x their amount after the round is over as long as there are enough BTC in the pot. The first payout goes to the transaction sent first, the second payout goes to the transaction sent last, then the third goes to the transaction sent in the very middle of the game if we have odd number of participants in the line or to the first of two transactions  in the very middle if we have even number of participants in the line, the fourth to the second of two transactions  in the very middle if we have even number of participants or to the first transaction with 7 as the last character of it's hash (varies from 0 to F)  if we have odd number of participants and if there will  be such transaction,  fifth and sixth payments  goes to the second and third  transactions sent accordingly, the seventh payment goes to the first  transaction of 7 BTC ("Lucky 7"), then second last, then the transaction above the middle, then  fourth  transactions received, then third last,  then the transaction below the middle and so on until a transaction can't be fully paid out.  The only exemption is 14th payout which goes to the last transaction of 7 BTC sent.

first-last-middle-(even-middle)/hash7-f-f-firstof7-l-m-f-l-m-f-last7- l-m-f-l-m and so on (f-l-m > f-l-m > ...)

Please note that all invalid transactions will be considered donations.
(don't send anything before the round starts and after the end, don't send any amounts less than 0.25 BTC and more than 7 BTC)

If you don't fully understand the algorithm, it's still highly recommended to participate - the game is designed to provide almost the same chance to win for everybody who will join it within one hour denoted.  You have your 7/10 chance to multiply your money anyway.

But don't risk what you can't afford to lose.

Lucky Funny 7 presents a creative challenge for fun and prizes! The winner will receive half of all fees collected in this game (but no less than 0.4 BTC)!  Winner will be chosen by poll.
Just write a story with the topic of "number 7" and post it in this thread (I encourage you to mention bitcoins ;))!  
It is to be a little humorous story— the hardest to write perhaps of any — be as funny as you can but never "try lo be funny." It is fatal. The story should be no more than 600 characters.
So, try to write the funniest story you can think of ;).
Please, mark your posts with "Competition" label. Hurry up, don't forget that the early bird is always privileged one.
Deadline: 12 July 17:00 (5.00 pm) GMT (forum time) - updated
The winner is btc7 (0.24 BTC total prize)


What is the reason for that?

This is just a good symbiosis!  If writers will publicate breathtaking stories here it should make a good impact on game activity  and the amount of the award may be increased . Everybody is happy :).

Where is the operator's profit here?

So, I'm not even going to get any part of 3% fee... The only thing I'm planing to do is to send about 4-7 BTC in the middle of the game and probably will get a little profit from that… About 1 BTC goes to guarantees for writers and promoters.  Anyway, it is not so much and the main reason for me here is to establish this game, gain more trust and develop this model  (it might be profitable so that I'm personally ready to invest a little and work almost without profit).


GoodDuck!

Promotional Prizes

There's never a dull moment even if the game isn't started yet and most of competitor are going to post their stories near deadline...

 I'm excited and looking forward to participating! 7 BTC can't wait to become 10.5  ;D...

I'm in

Funny short story...let's give this a try... Very short one:

When something is labelled as "funny" I am always sceptical, but my 7-year-old daughter does find number 7 funny… Once I've asked her:  
   - Are You Sick?
           - No, I 'm Seven…

Do anybody want this game to be 2 hours long instead of 1 hour?
I may change it, but no later then 12 hours before the beginning.

0.1 BTC for story which makes me smile (1/3)
Special offer! Just to stimulate your activity here... I'll pay 0.1 BTC for 3 first stories if they are able to make me smile at least (you still have to meet the requirements)... Three prizes available of 0.1 BTC. First one goes to btc7 (please, send me a PM with your bitcoin address).

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

Sorry, but it's not original one
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=just%20friends
and there are nothing about number seven... The text wasn't adapted at all (you could change something to make it appropriate... Like.. Mention 7 other applicants, 7 habits, 7 wonders... I don't know. Just make it funny, original and about the topic)...

Wow! I didn't expect this! Got the prize.
Thank you!

Well, guess that's what I get for not reading the requirements.

Because if a text is longer than 7 lines, my attention goes bye-bye

Yeah, sorry for complexity. But your still have a good chance to receive your 0.1 BTC for another story and I'd like send it to you avec plaisir ... It's not so difficult... Just little story about 7 something...  I'm just giving away money and there are no queue.. strange.

  In fact, I consider this as a good joke. I like it. I sent you 0.03 BTC just as an incentive!

Awesome :). Thank you. 0.1 BTC is on the way, and you have good chances for grand prix!

Yuppy puppy pa! Got paid for my message (<50 words)!

So little activity with writing competition... Geeks are not very creative people, I  guess  ;)

+ 2 hours to send your stories

Thanks

Seems like not many are interested...


Bitrain felt cheery
But others were leery
To write about seven
Hey, why not eleven?
Well isn't it eerie?

Awesome! Third special prize is yours!
So, you still have all chances to win the Writing grand prix!

Bit train game - be the first to be 7th 3 times! 0.3 BTC award!
[/u]
 So, this is a crazy rally, this one...
 What you have to do to obtain 0.3 BTC (you may just take it away or participate in the game with it):
 I'll start by posting the word, the next player have to respond with another word starting with the last character of the previous word posted by me an so on (like seven-noble-ekuele...). Your aim is to be on the 7th position in the chain 3 times but you can't respond to your own messages (only to somebody else's), except for the 6th message - if you are 6th, you may wait 1 minute at least and respond it to be 7th (but somebody else may do it before!). If the error occurred, you have to start over with the word error...
 It's easy and fun :). Try it!

Seven !

Nurse

Exchange

This is position №4 (you have to be 7th 3 times to win)! (I''m not going to win, but it's me to make it work and to be 6th (the most unfavourable position)).

15 mimutes... 15 minutes...

Received.  Thanks!

  All payments done. No income for me, but I'm still happy to host it. Probably, next time we will have more participants.
  So, now we have to vote for the best story in there... We have... let's say we have 3 of them...
  We don't have so many participants here, so, may I choose the winner without poll announced?
  0.14 BTC stands as grand prix (so, everybody has already got 0.1, so it would be 0.24 BTC for the best "story" about number 7 in this thread... Wish I will be there just as a player, not operator)...

Received. Thanks a lot :D!

Ha-ha... Some players of this game were referrals as well and find themselves to be banned due to PM spam on this forum :).
This is the reverse side of the referral program.
My apologize for this (apologizes for victims).
