If someone is willing to pay 1.5x, they are more likely than not trying to scam you.

Came to post this.


The likelihood of legitimate customers goes down, the likelihood of scammers (who don't have any reason to care about the price) goes up.
2  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin Video Casino -- New .0001 BTC Credit sizes! [UPDATED 12/04/2013] on: December 04, 2013, 09:26:21 PM
I put way too much money into this place.


The losing streaks in the slots since downtime have been horrendous. Like, 6-7 spins without a single credit back, and an extremely noticeable pattern of diminishing returns. Prior to the downtime, the games had a sort of self-sustaining nature where you would break even and go up or down, based on what seemed like chance, in a gradual manner. I'm basing this on about 48-72 hours of playing in the time period before the sudden drop, and 12+ hours since the drop.


Now, it's essentially a free fall. I don't feel comfortable putting any more money into a system that has had such a marked swing in results, inexplicably. It doesn't make sense, mathematically, that a game which was roughly ~50:50 with a slight house edge would turn into a ~20:80 (over a very large number of games/dollars i.e. hundreds, too, not a limited sample- played almost exclusively the smallest bet size), it's just not probable- even given the amnesiac nature of chance. In terms of probability, it should stay within 5-10% of the linear regression based on house edge, measured over a large number of results, with some arbitrary number of outliers present (due to chance).

I kind of wish I had the data to plot. Hindsight is 20/20.

edit: I don't mean to imply that the site is a scam. I have observer bias, I lost a good chunk of money over an extremely short period of time and it wouldn't be fair or reasonable to draw that sort of dramatic conclusion without concrete data. I do find it highly unusual that 1000 credits on slots would last anywhere from 20~45 minutes before, and now it's consistently 5-10 minutes, without any changes in strategy or bet size. Perhaps in the occasional 1000 credit cycle there would be this sort of deviation, but not 4 or 5 cycles in a row, with each cycle involving 50+ spins and each deviance being of the same magnitude and direction. Even "random" systems develop patterns over time, based on what is "under the hood". There's something in the design that isn't truly random or 49.5x.

Hello!

I'd like to buy .02 bitcoins.

I know that I'm a new sign-up on here... my localbitcoins account is https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/di4gram/ , for what it's worth. I'm also aware that these are all insecure methods, but they're the only ones available where I am until later in the day, and I need the coins as soon as possible.

Cheers

Congrats user ixlovexyou on your 2.1218 BTC slots jackpot! That's currently $2030!  

is it work for all games? VP have 209.25 btc and 4723.78 coins

Video Poker has larger credit sizes than slots. You have to be using .05 BTC credit sizes and betting 5 credits a hand to win the 209 BTC.

Thanks Cheesy was pretty happy to see those wilds line up

If you really want to make bitcoin, sell legal things on darknet. You'd be surprised how many people just sell completely bogus and weird shit, and then the weirder people come out to buy it.

There are even legal, relatively safe, drugs and supplements you could sell without getting in any trouble whatsoever unless you get caught up fucking around with the people doing illegal things. There are books. You can learn to do things that people want you to do. You can set up a streamlining system to help people buy cheap bitcoins (you'd be surprised how many people would jump at the chance to buy in the least public places possible. Get a working account on bitstamp or some quicker exchange site and move your shit quickly. If you promote yourself you should be able to clear 50 an hour, though you'll want to invest in that so that once you have around ~20 you're not having to wait for escrows to clear.

There are tons of business models you can use that aren't schmoozer pyramid schemes, you just have to use your imagination.

Apart from that, unless you randomly buy virwox money like I do and sometimes gamble the shit out of it to 20 times its value (but am still broker than I was before), nobody is going to just hand you over a thousand dollars and say "hell ya mang share the wealth".

how I've made a shitload (at least in todays stndards) of bitcoins by exploiting virwox, gambling 1/2 and keeping 1/2 in a wallet and thend cashing out every time I triple my money. Personally, I think that if you double your money you should probably bet higher for a couple rounds. As long as you have a buffer zone of 20 low-wage max lines rolls, you can swing out of some pretty shitty situations (i've gone from fucking 10 to 1k with some retarded roll I still don't understand). When it doubt though, use roulette and remember there is a very valuable 0 on the table. yoou have a 50-50 chance in roulette, and that isn't even counting multiple buys and combos.

I started with $20 today, went up to $400, put about 190 aside, and fucked around with the rest. Just make sure you're either doing it in cash or you vigilantly watch your bank account. Do not get sucked in to paying $100+ dollars to piss your live away gambling video money

I have throw probably 300 dollars into bitcoin gambling in the past month. prrrrooooobably enough for now. but it is a fast way to make money as long as you don't bet the bank over and over again (plus if you add it all up really i've bought special items with bitcoins that are rare and exotic, which can be worth its weight in gold Cheesy
