Thanks for that! Ended up winning it

You really think bitcoins will be worth more than gold in a year? Well, I sure as hell hope you are right.

Well yeah, definitely. However, there is different ways of approaching infinity in these manners.
For example- I have an infinite amount of marbles, I give you all of them, and now I have 0. infinity-infinity=0
I have an infinite amount of marbles, and I give you all of them except for 2. Infinity-infinity=7
I have an infinite amount of marbles and give you every other one. infinity-infinity=infinity.

"There is no single answer to this, as infinity is not a number in the strictest sense. 
Infinity is a "limit".  It is something you can get closer and closer to, but you never
quite reach it.  What matters is how fast you approach the first infinity (call it
infinity01) versus how fast you approach the second infinity (call it infinity02).  If
you approach both at exactly the same speed, always the same distance from each, then
infinity01-infinity02=0.  If you are always a little closer to infinity01, then
infinity01-infinity02 is a positive number.  If you move toward infinity01 twice as
fast as how you approach infinity02, then infinity01-infinity02=infinity.  The behavior
of limits is not quite the same as the behavior of numbers.

So although there is no concrete 'proof' within it, given the nature of infinity...it seems 'possible' that in a never-ending martingale with infinite bankroll, you may be able to bust and end up with a 0 bankroll.

I was contemplating something earlier. Touches more on the theoretical than anything, but may shed some light.

If you had an infinite bankroll, and let a martingale run, is it possible to end up at 0? Or maybe inevitable? Or would you always come out +EV?

If you had an infinite bankroll, then your martingale, in theory, can go on infinitely. This brings out a few possibilities. If truly infinite, you would encounter an infinite cycle of losses, and an infinite cycle of wins.

If you actually ended up with an infinite amount of losses would you end up with a 0 bankroll? Since we are talking about a set, theoretical amount of infinity, would infinity-infinity=0 in this situation? Or would, in this situation infinity-infinity=infinity, since the bankroll x, which = infinity constantly fluctuates with wins and losses? If it's the latter than the martingale would always yield +EV, but if the former, it may be inevitable to end up with 0.

Look for CoinsVictory when it launches.

Skill games PVP include, tetris, pacman, chess, and more!

My guess is $101.50

"I can't gamble so you shouldn't either, instead do this other form of gambling."

I think most people that gamble are aware of the house edge and the idea that house always wins..overall.
However, let people do what they want to. It's their money and their lives. Perhaps someone doesn't like the idea of trading shady alt coins.

I don't care who you are, that's still a form of gambling, and i'm pretty damn sure that wagering 1btc for double profit and winning is a lot more profitable than trading alt coins.

To each their own.

I've talked to BitVegas in PM and they are still going to send the prize my way, thankfully, and I really do appreciate that.
So I'll be able to send you that 0.15 as soon as I receive it.

After testing for a few minutes just a bit of feedback,

"Becouse fairness is a good thing"
You have a pretty big spelling error at the top of your page.

The results of the roll should update as fast as you can make it- I notice the balance changes after a second, but then 2 or 3 seconds after the results actually show up.
From my experience, and understanding a site like this success is weighed heavily on features such as instant results showing up. Like on Just-dice, the results are displayed nearly instantaneous and I think people generally appreciate and like that, and if it didn't have it, it's success may be a bit different.

Apart from that, another feature I think people would like would be a way to input the exact bet they wish to wager, rather than using the slider to pick a bet. Perhaps I wish to only bet 39 satoshis instead of 40? Just a thought there.

Otherwise, I like the site and I enjoy seeing a physical die on the screen.

Thanks- I enjoy trying out new games

Everything on the site was loading and working properly until I received the credits. However, after I saw them in my account, the stats portion of the site stopped loading properly, and i bet 40 satoshis, 4 different times, each came up rolled as a 1, and nothing was ever subtracted from my funds. Upon trying to reload the webpage after this- the site no longer loads at all.
Could be down temp for something but just letting you be aware of that issue.
Hope to continue testing this soon

[edit: working properly again for now ]

Thanks

The only concerns are really taxes and *maybe* gambling.

Otherwise, it's in the damn constitution that the people can make their own currencies if they so choose to.

[Edit: and even still, fuck that. Half these taxes they throw on us are illegal on their end anyways. Labor is not supposed to be taxed, and what I do with another person is my damn business, not theirs.]

Ah, I see and understand more clearly now. Thanks for putting it that way, and I apologize for missing it previously.

Now speaking just about martingales, eliminating the all-in, 1 bet approach. Is it more profitable to have a shorter martingale such as the 2 bet sequence, or say have a 10 bet sequence? Logic is telling me that perhaps the 2 bet sequence is better than the 10 bet sequence, but I could just be misled. For all I know, they have the same probability factor.

How devastating. Got up to 86, then poof all gone. I don't have .30 btc to waste on this game either like some people

Thanks

Congrats! I know what you did, and I'm jealous I didn't have the bankroll or balls to do such.

So the martingale has a better probability for turning 1000 into 1010, but how does the math change if you were to try to go from 1000 to 2000? I wonder if the martingale would still have a higher chance of winning than a single bet?

I would strongly argue that 0 is the greatest mathematical (and philosophical) discovery.
I mean 0 even creates the circle shape, and no one can argue how badass a circle is.

Or perhaps this: e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0   <such a beautiful equation.

Or, Or, perhaps 'barel'y related to numbers at all, but Godel's Incompleteness Theorem?

I may be somewhat bad with numbers, but the philosophy behind math is widely fascinating to me.

Address noted! Let's hope it all works out..for the both of us.

I am actually Hollowinfinity. My account was hacked in the middle of July, so my backup account (this) became my primary account.

I've pmd BitVegas about the situation and hope I am still eligible for the win. (since my entry was kinda overlapped between 2 profiles now)
However, Hollowinfinity's profile retained the signature the entirety of july and the payment address and everything is still the same, so I hope that works out.

Thank you either way for doing this contest, and to extend generosity (and to make up for confusion with overlapping profiles, considering the now-hacked profile)

The next person in this thread to post their address, with the BitVegas signature I will send 0.15 of the prize your way if and when I receive said prize.
I haven't received the prize money yet- Idk if they were holding off sending it or something for whatever reasons there may be.
 
Anyways,
Thanks for the understanding.
