Title: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: MoneyTree on January 20, 2011, 01:33:59 AM Hello fellow forumers,
Just a short message to let you know: DOUBLE TROUBLE http://doubletrouble.bitcoinbet.com/ is now officially open for gaming. We also have an affiliate program that will help you monetize your bitcoin traffic (from web site, blog or forum posts). Please let us know in the forum when you've won a prize! ;D OK. End of press release... Time for a beer! http://doubletrouble.bitcoinbet.com/ Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: FreeMoney on January 20, 2011, 01:54:37 AM Wow, haven't used it yet, but it looks slick.
First thought, 49% chance at 200% is probably better psychologically, and more appropriate since the name is Double Trouble. Also, it says the min is .01, what will I get back if I win .01 Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: theymos on January 20, 2011, 01:58:10 AM The site looks great!
Suggestion: accept payments with 0 confirmations immediately, but then delay paying any winnings until you get 1 confirmation (or more for large payments). This is a better experience.

This is what bitcoin darts does. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: FreeMoney on January 20, 2011, 02:02:08 AM Woohoo, double.
Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: FreeMoney on January 20, 2011, 02:53:03 AM Wow, haven't used it yet, but it looks slick. First thought, 49% chance at 200% is probably better psychologically, and more appropriate since the name is Double Trouble. Also, it says the min is .01, what will I get back if I win .01 Thanks. I'll have a look into that. 49% chance at 200% sounds better but think 50% chance at 198% is a better deal. You are right about the name. Better is to have the 200% payout but then I'll have to change the affiliate program too so it will pay only in case of a loss. (the 1%) The bet for 0.01 is an exception. It pays 200% already. I did this because 198% of 0.01 is 0.01 (rounded down to penny because I can not create bitcoin out of thin air) and it looked so sad. :'( There is an affiliate program too: just play once at http://doubletrouble.bitcoinbet.com and visit the partner page for your personalized link. I didn't mean to suggest a change in equity, I just did sloppy math. I guess it would be 49.5% to keep it the same. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: genjix on January 20, 2011, 03:17:04 AM You should allow people to deposit and have a balance (by IP address) so the gratification of winning is instant.
Some people like to bet smaller amounts more (illogical I know). Site is very cool :) Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: idev on January 20, 2011, 09:27:16 PM Very nice work here sir, and i doubled on me first spend :D wonderful.

Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: Mahkul on January 21, 2011, 11:15:29 AM I think people may start speculating about are you really giving 50% chance, so perhaps you could provide some sort of a proof of that on the website (like do the randomizing before someone puts some bitcoins on - just like Bitcoin darts?).
Not that I doubt your honesty, I doubled four times in a row. :D But I am sure some people will start complaining about it. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

Martingale fail, at least I chickened out pretty early. ;D Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: Bimmerhead on January 21, 2011, 02:51:04 PM Very cool, I like the affiliate program. Should grow quickly with people sharing their affiliate link on social media.
Nicely done. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

As I said, you don't have to convince ME. :) PS. Could you please respond to my PM. Thanks. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

End of press release... Time for a beer! http://doubletrouble.bitcoinbet.com/ OK, this seems nice and polished. But i have one, very important question: Where do you get your random number / random number seeds ? When it comes to computers, all "random" numbers are really only pseudo-random. And proper randomness factor / entropy is everything when it comes to online casinos. Just look what one of the companies did to get REAL random numbers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n8LNxGbZbs Perhaps you should consider getting real random seeds from somewhere. Otherwise i don't think the game will be really fair. ---- BTW, do you know that there are specialized companies whose only occupation is generating random numbers and selling them ?

Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: ShadowOfHarbringer on January 22, 2011, 08:06:16 AM I just looked up the exact random number generating bit is pulled from: https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=100&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new Hope this answers your question. ??? Of course. If it wouldn't, i would say something. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: FreeMoney on January 22, 2011, 12:46:50 PM MoneyTree, check PMs
Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: Mahkul on January 22, 2011, 01:21:48 PM confirming for over an hour fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu We've noticed the bitcoin network was really slow in confirming transactions yesterday. It might be handy to add a 0.01 bitcoin transaction fee if you're playing for over say 50 btc / bet. Most transactions in the bitcoin system that have 0.01 cent fee added fly through and generally make it into the next block. If you do not specify a transaction fee, bitcoin transfers take between 1 min to well up over an hour as we've noticed yesterday. :( Yes, I have noticed that too. I played a lot yesterday on probiwon and it took a LONG time for the transactions to become confirmed. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: NicholasBell on March 24, 2011, 06:31:14 AM Just want to confirm that I played and won 4 BTC on there. Thanks!

I'll give it a shot later. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

NOW OPEN Post by: Alex Beckenham on April 02, 2011, 08:31:12 PM Quote What are the betting limits? Any bet from 0.01 is accepted. I don't understand how you can run this without having a maximum bet size. Let's say there are 6 million BTC in circulation, I own 5 million of them and decide to throw them all into Double Trouble... You can't pay me 10 million BTC if I win. Crazy example I know, but you still should set a maximum. e.g. If I bet 10,000 and win, can you afford to pay me the 20,000? Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: randomguy7 on April 02, 2011, 08:58:50 PM You might read this http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3862.msg54956
If it's really working the way some one there described it might, you simply won't win with such big bets. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: lulzplzkthx on May 05, 2011, 10:44:46 PM Hey MoneyTree,
I love Double Trouble and have been playing it quite a bit but the site seems to sometimes be plagued with FastCGI errors. It's usually not a problem until you run into an issue like I just had where I tried to play my 5 BTC, and the page gave a "FastCGI Error". I refreshed the page, hoping that would fix the problem, and after a minute of loading it said "One Pay Per Play Please!!" So I'm a little concerned as to whether the bet actually got played or whether it ended up in nothing-land considering the page could have error'd before it got to the actual playing part. Thanks, lulzplzkthx Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: matteumayo on May 08, 2011, 01:47:44 AM I tried to test this with a 0.05 BTC bet.
The third "auto refresh" froze the site. I have no idea if I won or not.... awesome. :-\ Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :.

I have no idea if I won or not.... awesome. :-\ Just did it a second time with 0.1, and it froze at the same time. What's going on here? P.S. Both of these use a 0.01 trans. fee. Title: Re: .: DOUBLE TROUBLE :. NOW OPEN Post by: rb2k on May 23, 2011, 04:28:04 PM seems to have gone for >2 days now just after I sent 0.3 bitcoins :(
