About your first point, while it's true that you will get more profits if you own a bigger share of a bankroll, your losses will also be higher. For example, if you have 5 BTC in a 10 BTC bankroll, and someone lucky wins 1 BTC on the first day, you will suffer a 0.5 BTC loss. To avoid this, you need to make sure that casino doesn't allow more than 2% of the bankroll as a win per single bet.

As for trust, there's one inherent problem with all casinos - owners can easily create fake winning while they pose as players to steal money from investors, and there's absolutely no way to prove it.

This is a good example of Gamblers Fallacy, you think that if you just lost a bet than the next have a higher chance of winning. In fact, your bets don't have any connection to each other, it doesn't matter if you have just lost or win, the next roll will be absolutely random and with the same chances of losing or winning as any other bets. What matters is that you will always have less chances to win and more chances to lose, some games will allow you to minimize your risk, but your expected value will still be negative.

Since almost all bitcoin casinos feature some sort of referral program you can just ask your friend to make account and share his referral link with you before you visit chosen site. Your friend will start getting some percentage of your wagered amount, no matter if you win or lose, then he will just share it with you from time to time. It's not the same as insurance, but essentially you will be lowering your house edge. Keep in mind that all gambling sites prohibit referring yourself, so you can only set this up with another person.

It's a business, and any business can be risky. There are many expenses when it comes to making new gambling site, like hiring designers, coders, than getting servers, marketing, etc. And then comes the risk that people won't come to your site, because they'll prefer to stick to the old ones, and also the other risk that your profits will be too small, or you even might start suffering losses.

Imo the answer for these problems is innovation, if you want to succeed you must make something really unique so it will attract many players and maybe also allow you to increase the house edge.

I seriously don't understand what people mean when they say "analysis" when they talk about gambling games like dice  or slots. The result of every bet is independent from previous bets, it doesn't matter if you have made thousands of bets or zero, it has not effect and there's nothing to analyse. Also, those games don't feature any choices, you simply press button and get your result, again there's nothing to analyse. This board is so filled with comments like "you should use knowledge, strategy, analysis, skill", but no one gives any real examples.

Right now almost all gambling sites accept investments for their bankrolls, because it allows them to increase max win per one bet and attract whales, and also helps to normalize profits with increase of wagered amount. So if you shouldn't be afraid to invest in casino even if it already has hundreds and thousands of Bitcoins in its bankroll, just make sure that wagered amount is big enough to expect your desired returns.

I'm sure there already have been a few "girlcoins", but anyway devs are just picking mascots and making fake promises so they can pump & dump their scamcoin.

It would be nice to see info about open/close dates of our investments so we don't have to write it down manually. Some other sites offer even more details, like profit charts for example.

Winning a few bets doesn't mean that you have beaten the house edge, beating the house edge means that you somehow can win over the long run, which is almost impossible, statistically speaking. But if we are talking about just profit, than whales indeed might have a better chances, because of two reasons. First, they can make big bets with low multiplier, for example one can bet $10.000 with x1.1 multiplier and have almost 90% chance to win $1000. The second reason is that some mega whales can have bigger bankrolls than some casinos, and if those casinos haven't set a mathematically required limit for the highest win, than whales could potentially bankrupt such casino, because number of bets won't be enough for the house edge to make an impact.

You already answered your question, casinos exist because they are making profit, and they are making profit because they have the house edge. If it was possible to beat the house edge, casinos would start suffering loses and eventually close. Thinking that you can turn gambling into a source of income and solve your financial needs is very dangerous and irresponsible.

If you prefer to invest in smaller bankrolls, you can try with altcoin bankrolls at crypto-games, they have a good bankroll size to wagered amount ratio and you can also get profit from the price rising of the altcoin. My current picks are Monero and Ethereum, because I believe that they have a good chances of rising, or at least not falling dramatically, while there's a good wagering activity at crypto-games for these coins.

You are really contradicting yourself here when you say that trading also have a risk, but than immediately add that you are 100% sure that your money would come back.

In fact trading is a zero sum game, in order for someone to get profit, other people must lose money. What makes it different from gambling is that the price changes are driven by many different factors, like investor moves, news, rumors, etc. In gambling chances to win/lose are always static and always not in players favor.

Such kinds of analysis still won't allow you to get even to 0% House Edge, so if the profit is your goal, it's better to apply those skills in other fields, like trading. But if you want to just have fun while mentally challenging yourself and adding some risk, than gambling games with elements of strategy are definitely a good choice.

When you started doing your translation you agreed on their terms that you will be paid in CGC, but since wallet wasn't released yet, you and all other people who participated in bounty campaign can only wait for updates from the dev. We are supposed to get paid when/if the new ICO will be finished and CGC wallet will be released.

He is talking about casino bankroll investments, not gambling.

Yes, small investments can make sense in 2 situations:

1) Investing with leverage

Some casinos allow this option, so for example 0.01 BTC with 10x leverage will have the same profit/loss as 0.1 BTC investment, meaning that you'll see higher profits, but you'll also lose all your investment if casino will lose 10% of its bankroll.

2) Investing in new underfunded casinos

Lets say there's a new casino opened just yesterday and has 0.99 BTC bankroll, you invest 0.01 BTC so your share is now 1%, then someone comes and loses 0.5 BTC, in that case you will get 0.005 BTC profit, which will be a half of your investment.  The problem here is that this is very risky, someone could almost just as easily win 0.5 BTC, and you'd suffer 50% loss.

tl;dr you can make a big return from small investment by increasing its risk

Question about transaction fees for withdrawing - do you plan to add more options with larger fees for faster withdrawing? It could be really helpful in some situations. As I understand, right now it's a flat 0.0002 BTC for all withdrawals.

I'm withdrawing my BTC profits every month, while keeping my altcoin banroll investments for long term. By withdrawing frequently you will be lowering your profits, but also reducing the risks of some accident like hacking or exit scam. For example I already have around 22% ROI, if I didn't withdraw a single time I'd have higher profits since my investment would keep stacking, but if something really bad happens, I'd be left with nothing, but by withdrawing I secured some profit and even if something happens I'll be left with at least 22% of my original investment. So the question about how often do you want to withdraw is a question about how much do you trust your gambling site.

Gambling is not addictive by itself like most of the drugs are also not addictive, addiction usually develops in people who have no purpose in life, simply bored or depressed. People start gambling uncontrollably because it gives them strong emotional stimuli, which they lack in everyday life. So to break gambling addiction people need to fix their life, find some new hobbies, friends, do sports.
