Also your investment option makes no sense. Logic dictates that the higher the investment the higher the return. Why would anyone invest 1 btc when they can get the same returns for less risk?

Think about investing with leverage.

The more you leverage the bigger your risk, but the biggest your potential returns.

It sounds like he's saying you can invest 10 BTC with very little chance of losing it all, or invest 1 BTC with a relatively high change of losing it all, and get comparable returns on average.

Hey dooglus Smiley

As mentioned your pioneering investment model was my inspiration! I wouldn't say leverage is a good comparison. Leverage has a place in markets, but I don't particularly like it because people can become over-levered before realizing it. I guess similar to credit and debt. When margin calls come disaster strikes. It's easy to confuse other money (leverage) with one's own. In other words people buy what they really can't afford.

In my model you can't invest (or lose) over your balance. There is no leverage. However, you can risk anywhere from 1 to 10% of your balance toward max bet of the house. Everything investors risk, at various ranges, goes toward raising the house maximum profit per bet. So, for example, the scenario with Bob and Dave could be reversed, where Bob still invests 10 BTC and Dave invests 1 BTC, and the house wins (or loses) 1 BTC, but this time Bob's risk percent is 10% and Dave's is 1% meaning Bob would profit (or lose) .99 BTC and Dave profits (or loses) .0099 BTC. In this situation Bob controlled 99% of the house max bet which would be 1.01 BTC (the sum of Bob and Dave's risk stakes). He experiences profit/loss basically as if Dave isn't there.

In my model no matter what amount is invested, investors get a second variable to set, which is risk percent, allowing them to fine tune share of the site's profit/loss to their comfort level.

Unfortunately trust is very difficult to gain in this community. I doubt you will see many people excited about investing in a startup. Too many people have been scammed.

I'm hoping some trust can be built over time. Also, my investment structure makes it possible to invest less and still earn more.

Also your investment option makes no sense. Logic dictates that the higher the investment the higher the return. Why would anyone invest 1 btc when they can get the same returns for less risk?

I'm sorry I didn't explain it properly. A person investing .1 BTC can't get the same returns as someone investing 1 BTC unless they risk more. Below are more details:

Imagine Bob invests 10 BTC and Dave invests 1 BTC, and the casino makes 1 BTC profit. It's possible for Bob and Dave to share a 50/50 split
at .5 BTC each. This would be if Bob's "risk percent" was 1% and Dave's was 10%, meaning they have the same .1 player maximum bet per game.

Although Bob and Dave invest different amounts they share the same potential profit over a short period of time. However, Dave can
lose more faster. If the casino instead lost 1 BTC Dave would lose .5 BTC, or 50% his investment, while Bob loses .5 BTC which is only
5% of his 10 BTC investment.

Sounds like a very good idea! The market is wide open for that now that JD is down as long as you have the needed trust. When do you expect to launch?

I'm pushing for this coming week Smiley

One of the key aspects of the site is investment range. Dooglus had a great idea creating the Invest in site's bankroll concept, but the problem I found was once Just-Dice became successful it was hard to make money. Larger investors arriving meant smaller amounts were no significant part of the bankroll percentage.

My innovative addition is letting investors tolerate higher potential losses in exchange for greater profit share. This means the site can achieve a large max bet with a smaller total bankroll, because some investors may be willing to risk more of their share of the bankroll to variance.

Hi everyone!

I'm announcing a new Dice site soon. I first started a 50/50 card guess game back in May 2013. I then upgraded a few things, including adding an Invest option in November 2013.

You can check those threads to see I've never scammed anyone. My sites got positive feedback, but I didn't realize people really wanted Dice games. Now that Just-Dice has closed (my inspiration for adding an Invest option) I've decided to try once again, this time with a Dice site.

The best feature will be the investment structure. In a nutshell it's possible for someone investing .1 BTC to earn the same as someone investing 1 BTC, and profits are assessed daily, so people don't have to leave long-term investment funds on site if they don't want to.

Should be announcing soon Smiley

I think Everydice destroyed any chances of new dice sites having an invest feature. Unless doog comes back, another site will have to prove its credibility and worth. Any ideas on how this can be done? Huh I think that is the million dollar question.

I expect my new site to start off slowly, but as mentioned I do have a gaming history here which should provide some trust. My goal is to become as large as JD. Right now the biggest Dice site is PrimeDice, but they won't offer an invest option.

Hmm.

So I put in 0.0995 and found the red ace twice but lost twice?  Huh

Checking into it...
Sent you PM.
Replied to PM Smiley

The issue was that he didn't know he had to choose a side, that it's not automatic like SatoshiDice/PrimeDice. Smiley

I'll make that clearer.

i used this place when i sent btc https://satoshicircle.com/

Then satoshicircle.com got your payment  Sad

I sent out another payment to your posted address 17xYsaUPYXx546YKjaHrhGmZkc6WoFrDN5

https://blockchain.info/tx/dbe0dade9ca7cae20ff687bcb9b2fd32032083425e0dc8184666dda558b1eba4

It was my fault for not making the incoming wallet message more obvious. It's updated.  Smiley

This is my wallet address please send it here thanks - 17xYsaUPYXx546YKjaHrhGmZkc6WoFrDN5

I'm trying to figure out why you didn't receive payment. The system did send payment which can be seen here:

https://blockchain.info/tx/e520bb69a0b9df8e0cdae12278b93f971cd969480515ce544d755746a16edba9

Did you use a service like MtGox, which doesn't receive incoming transactions, to deposit coins? I'm trying to see what happened because otherwise anyone can copy info from the payout page and say they didn't get paid.  Undecided

received! thanks  Grin

Now is there an option to use the funds that i deposited to your game wallet partially? lets say 0.1 deposited, but i only wanna use up 0.005?

I'll look into that. Right now I'm working on a partial cash out feature though. Smiley

Actually, I think you're right that a deposit selection amount is better. It's added!  Smiley

well enought played for today :p

See you tomorrow and i wish you some luck for this project !


EDIT :  Strange bug, i paid, the game started, i saw the green ammount like when you win, but 0.0 and a message : "Page refreshed" or something like that.

Yes, the "Page refresh" message can happen if your browser reloads the page, for example, if you click another action when the page has not finished loading on your end.

The system is set up to either record your guess successfully, and the outcome, or leave the same amount of coins. So if you get disconnected before the data travels both ways gameplay is not affected. If you make a choice and the server doesn't receive it, then nothing happens either way. If you make a choice and the server receives it, but you don't receive the answer your coins are still credited or debited as the case may be.

If you tell me the amount you played and address, for example, I can tell you if a choice was received and what it was.

EDIT: I'll probably have to change that to just display the last game outcome so it's not confusing.

Nice ! Really, i like ideas like this, it's simple but really nice, good job !

Thanks for the encouragement! It was something I wanted to see. If things go well I PROMISE a redesign lol  Grin
16  Economy / Gambling / Re: [ANN] DoubleMyCoins.com! - 50/50 Chance Provably Fair [NOW OPEN] on: May 29, 2013, 08:17:47 PM
Nice i like it !

i'm 18zD99JmJX1gvjNYgavNCjcdZxMLGccYwq ahah

EDIT : btw cashing out is automatic ?

Thanks!

The giveaway is now closed but good luck!

Yes, when you win play again or cash out. The system pays cash outs automatically after 3 confirmations of your deposit.

Also, I'm working to implement some of the great suggestions like from dooglus, and to allow a partial cash out option. Stay tuned! Smiley

Okay everyone,

The site wallet issue has been fixed and the site is open! Thanks to everyone that helped test!

The giveaway is now closed, but I'll send .1 BTC to the last 3 posters hasher87, i3lome, Yurkov if they play.

Have fun!  Smiley

Hey everyone,

It looks like the site experienced a bunch of different people (or maybe the same one) creating new wallets but not depositing anything depleting the address pool. I'll have to fix that, but everything else seems to be working great!

The guy who runs the excellent 'flipside' bitcoin game had the same issue, and found one of my StackExchange answers helpful in understanding the problem.  See here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162712.msg2046657#msg2046657

Thanks, that's helpful! Smiley
