Basing up on the game concept then it would really be real battle on how deep is your pockets which means and i do agree that it is really that prone to manipulation on someone who does have that deep pocket.
Resetting the time to zero whenever there's a deposit then it would be a long time battle or making out that piling up the amount.Its true that this isnt the first time we do see this kind of idea on which
its true that most or all of them died along the way because they didnt really get any players on playing or making out that bet because they do really know on what are the tendencies or chances
that they can really be manipulated and ending up on non-fair way result which we dont really like for it to happen.
It's also a battle of endurance. It says the game counter is 600 seconds, so 10 minutes for each new bid. Let's say your pockets are deep on both sides and you keep bidding, after 10 hours or so you'll both be exhausted. If one of you has an emergency at home, loses Internet connection, falls asleep, they lose. The bigger the stakes the more you'll have to lose and the more you'll be waiting for the last second to see if the opponent outbids you.
This could potentially escalate to something like a battle for a 1BTC stake where you both don't sleep for days not to give away that money, and at some point one of you gets a power outage and it's all over.
@coolcoinz You raised an interesting battle scenario where the players keep each other in battle for too long. This can be quite burdensome for some players to keep up with the battle. I will try to revise the game where battle time can be fastened. Thanks for the suggestion.
