Lucky Bit is proud to offer another community game available to the public! This game features an incredible 0.5% house edge, community wagering, and a new twist on the great Lucky Bit game while featuring the transparency and trust our players expect. This game is simple, easy to play, and provably fair! Originally suggested as the "Lucky Bit Lottery" by one of our users, this game now takes its official sponsored form as the Big Win Prediction Game!

Here's how to play:

* Of course, use a compatible wallet. Just like the betting pools and any on-chain game, the address the coins were spent from is the address your win will be sent to and when multiple addresses are used the first one on the list will receive the payment. No exceptions.
* There is a minimum bet of 0.001BTC and no maximum. You can wager any amount you want but your win is proportional to the amount you bet.
* You are always betting on next week's results. This means bets after 00:00 UTC on the Sunday following your wager's confirmation, through the next Saturday at 23:59:59.
* Results and payment transactions will always be posted here. Inquiries should be posted here, not PM'ed.
* Rounds complete at 00:00 UTC weekly. Unconfirmed wagers will be processed on the day they are confirmed, not the day they are sent.
* Ambiguous confirmation times will default to the later week.


If a bet lands on the x2/x22/x111/x999 slot any time during the 7 day time frame, the YES side wins. If no bet lands it, the NO side wins. The resulting pay is the total sum of BOTH sides and will be divided proportionally with all players from the winning side, minus 0.5% house edge to cover operational costs.


* If there are no wagers on the losing side, the winners will still split the prize pool as normal.
* If there are no wagers on the winning side, the money becomes part of the next week's prizes.
* Spam-sized payments (less than a standard transaction fee) will not be sent, the money becomes part of the next week's prizes.
* The 0.5% house edge is applied when winnings are sent. Unsent prizes are not edged until they are paid.
* Prizes will not have fees deducted - this is why there is a house edge.

Landing on a 2... doesn't that happen very often? o.O

It does on red, but only x2 on blue would count for a YES bet.

Nice game.

I like the concept and i will try it soon, maybe this or next round.

Great idea stingleword.  :D

So in other words
If it hits the max prize on each side for those numbers the Yes side wins
And if not the No side wins

Sounds like a fun game

Yes this is certainly an interesting idea and I'm curious to see how it plays out.

The odds of hitting the max win are extremely low, I don't think its a really good idea, odds are way against you.

Why should I put my wallet address first before I can play?

There is no requirement to play, just send your bet to the address for your prediction. Don't send from an exchange or third-party service because wins are processed 'on-chain' the same as Lucky Bit.

send my prediction :D
wish me luck

Nope you wrong that 1Gmst addy will win if no bets hit Blue x2 Green x22 Yellow x111 or Red x999

Betting is always for the following day. You don't improve your chances by betting at any given time.

I don't think so , For the first 2 days 1Miss was win in this event.
But yesterday Red x999 has been hit twice in LuckyBit .

Hey, btcboss,  that's not a fair strategy!  ;D

I need to check the addresses before betting next time, if things work like this I have some chanches of losing 5% of my 0.0025, and some chanches of lose all!
You, on the other side, are risking nothing...

Pls sringer fix this, or nobody will bet again...

Fix what? This is the way the game was designed. Besides, you only put up 0.0025 which is also a tiny risk. Another player could drown both of you out of the game by simply betting 0.01BTC.

If you have a specific suggestion I'll be happy to read and consider it, but if you don't propose a solution (or even state a problem) then I have no motivation to make changes.

The problem is: if only a few people bets very different sums, there's a chanche that one side will end with many more bitcoins than the other. In a free betmarket of thousand of people this would probably auto-regulate and this difference would reflect the different odds of 1miss vs 1win, but that's not the case. I'm not whining about my 0.0025, but exposing something that, Imho,  could be considered a bug in your game. And I also think that btcboss wisely used this " exploit" betting the minimum amount on the most unlikely event, and he deserves my money (in the case he'll win). I like your game.
Proposed solution: a minimum 0.002 token

If I bet BTC 0.001 to YES
how much the payout if I win ?

That depends on how much is bet each round, and how much of the winning side was your bet. This is explained in the topic post.

Should I just stop doing this?

Maybe extend the duration to a weekly thing
Daily frequency might not support the volumes at present.

Hey, that's a great idea! I think I'll go with that.

I'll do it tomorrow so it doesn't disrupt the existing schedule (just in case).

Wagers for 14-12-2014 are closed. No bets received.

The system is now on a weekly basis, so there's plenty of time for bets to accrue. Remember: It will take between 7 and 14 days for the result to be known!

I'm throwing in on this week, to "seed the game" as it were.

Collections for week 22-12-2014 start immediately.

I feel unconfortable because with a week game it is too easy to bet in the less weighted side on the last days, or on " 1miss!" during the last minute.

Also, I cannot calculate the odds for 1miss vs 1win.

The odds are dependent on game activity on the site. There is no way for this game to have fixed odds.

There is no latecomer advantage; bets aren't evaluated until the following week - so if you send on Saturday to 1Miss1 because there wasn't a hit all week, you're doing it wrong (your bet won't count until Sunday anyway).

Remember: results can't be known for 7-14 days.

I can look the last day how much money on 1miss vs 1win, this is what I mean.

Sure, and if you think you can get some choice odds by betting at the last minute, go ahead! In the end it's the side that predicted incorrectly that funds the prize, regardless of when they bet. Another player could do the same thing to try to leverage against your bet; but of course if a bet doesn't confirm it is too late, and strategy won't help if you guess wrong. I see potential for strategic bets here that only affect the payouts, not the results. This isn't a problem since the payout for this style of game is unpredictable anyway.

If you are uncomfortable betting in a game with unpredictable payouts, this (and perhaps Lucky Bit) isn't for you.

Hello, folks! Just checking in with a mid-week update so people have an idea of where the bets lie.

Current collections:

Still plenty of time to change the odds in your favor!

Can i send my bet from coin base wallet on this?

Don't use an exchange or third-party wallet service to play this game! If you don't control the private keys to the wallet, I cannot guarantee you will receive your win.

Only one day left to place your bets for the week of 22-12-14. Someone hit x999 yesterday and the only bets in so far are on 1Hits1 so next week is looking good!

Current collections:

Less than 24 hours to get your bets confirmed!

"If you don't control the private keys to the wallet" what does it actually means?

I have my password for the wallet and i control it although

Blockchain is the example wallet that had a private keys.

Exchanger or Other gambling site will not compatible to send some bet on luckybit
since you're not control a private key at all

Yes, I didn't update this thread in a timely manner. It looks like this game just isn't happening, so I won't force it.

For the record, two players hit fringe wins (x22 and x111) during last week, so I won the pot.

I'll stop updating here since nobody is going to play.
