Title: Bitcoinduit, Unpaid bets? Post by: Houseonfire on August 19, 2011, 07:20:32 AM What does it mean when there are like 6 unpaids on a game? How do they get paid?
Title: Re: Bitcoinduit, Unpaid bets? Post by: geek-trader on August 19, 2011, 07:32:15 AM What does it mean when there are like 6 unpaids on a game? How do they get paid? this really needs to be on the bitcoinduit site. Say you have a game with 0 fees and 0 jackpot (for simplicity's sake) The ROI is 20% bet #1 is 1 BTC. Bitcoinduit takes 0.1 BTC off the first bet as a house fee. The pot is 0.9 bet #2 is 1 BTC. The pot is now 1.9. #1 gets paid his 1.2 (1 bet + 20% ROI = 1.2). The pot is now 0.7 bet #3 is 0.5 BTC. The pot is now 1.2. bet #2 gets paid his 1.2. The pot is now 0 bet #4 is 0.5 BTC. The pot is now 0.5. That's not enough to pay #3, so it rides. bet #5 is 0.5 BTC. The pot is now 1.0 BTC, so #3 gets paid .51, the pot is now .49 and so on The later bettors pay off the earlier bettors. That's what a ponzi scheme is. The difference here is that it's totally transparent. Everyone can see what the deal is at any time, and bet accordingly. Title: Re: Bitcoinduit, Unpaid bets?

I do sort of like the idea that people figure it out on their own, or by finding it on the forums. It's part of the charm that the whole thing is not only transparent, but also incredibly odd and difficult to understand until that moment when you just *get* it. Good explanation.

The names that some people use for their Ponzie games are misleading.Title: Re: Bitcoinduit, Unpaid bets?

Post by: Sohcahtoa on August 21, 2011, 05:06:42 PM Nobody mentioned Jackpots.
When a ponzi on Bitcoinduit is created, the host can create a Jackpot. In this case, a % of all deposits are set aside into a jackpot pool before being added to the normal pot. Once the ponzi expires, then whoever made the last deposit gets all the money in the jackpot. This encourages people to keep making deposits in the hopes of being the last person. |
