Hi, sending my first modest deposit right now. I'm going to start by selling longer-dated binary puts, and see how it goes. (I'm starting with only some of my online poker winnings, so I can afford to lose it ... lol.)

The very short-dated contracts - you are running them every 30 minutes it seems ... I'm thinking your system isn't going to be able to keep up amid the sort of volatility that BTC has seen in the past. Or maybe your system can keep up, but your liquidity provider will gap the spreads something crazy.

Still, I like your effort.

I would suggest offering very long-dated options, like stock option LEAPS. These best allow for hedging, and the time frame takes more of the short-term gamble out of it.

Sure, the short-term gamblers/traders will bring the volume and pay the bills. That is not me unfortunately, lol. I'd be most interested 3,6, 12-month contracts.

Hi,

I'm participating in your signature campaign, and just checking out the site today. (Thank you btw.) Trying to figure out what you are doing, and finally someone said 'a gambling game' ... then it all made sense. I think it would be helpful if you simplified the presentation on your homepage. First impression is that it is a trading site using options ... but that would not really be called a 'gambling game,' although some would use it as such.

I am looking for real options to trade right now. Intermittently I've used 796xChange ... but I'm looking for different types of instruments now, ideally something I can arbitrage in some manner.

They know me, and they know I'm joking. They're not constipated like you ... but thanks for the free advice.

So, if you check out the original post here, you will see I've moved this ring action over to Luckyflop. We had 5 people sitting at our 6-max 0.03/0.06 mBTC Limit Hold'em table earlier today. Seems the cash tables are building some momentum here, and I like that the same old donkeys keep reloading and coming back for more. Come sit for for a spell sometime, have a run at my chips!

Having trouble logging in right now. Hope things get sorted before the two tournaments run later today ...

You are right ... the first of two freerolls start in 1.5 hours from right now. I keep reading this one incorrectly but I think that is accurate.

Please sign up for the freeroll - it needs 10 players minimum and only 5 now.

0.010 btc Freeroll running in 1 hour (21:30 EST I think) needs 10 players min to run  .... come sign up and have a look!

We've got 5 signed up now.

Please ignore this guy. He's confusing poker with another game: BINGO ...

I'm playing 0.03-0.06 limit Hold'em with four other players at Luckyflop.eu

With each raked hand we get a 'Lucky Point' which can be used to enter Freerolls. A couple of the players are collecting points to enter a 50-chip freeroll that starts in about 30 minutes. Cash games and premium freerolls, a great combination I think.

For beginning cash (ring) players, the limit format is ideal because you are never at risk of facing an all-in shove. Come join us, and give it a try!

This is important, I think: You had that ugly downtime, and nobody b*tched about it, because they are so happy there. I don't know if the BTC poker community will grow, but everyone sees your genuine effort, and they keep coming back. I'll sit more, and see if we can't get some momentum ...

Actually I intended to start this at Luckyflop ... but if you look at the date, you were down that day. That was the only reason. Anyway ... it is kind of a chicken-or-egg deal. Players attract more players. I'll start sitting Luckyflop more ... you've been overgenerous and deserve the action ... that, and I got unfinished business with Jorjito!

Seriously everyone, Luckyflops does deserve the action. Admin got a good mix of games that allows one to parlay up from freerolls, to GTDs, and offers larger freeroll entries for raked hands on cash tables.

You'll find me there, and everyone knows I donk something aweful ...

This is to recommend that Admin take the next step in mixing up their games. Specifically I am recommending that they take course followed by a couple other sites.

Namely, severely reduce the freebee rolls and introduce 'gated freerolls' or freerolls that can only be entered once they have met a certain threshold. For example:

1 Chip freerolls on the even hours (12x per 24hr period)
10 Chip freeroll for anyone who has played 25 raked hands in the last 24 hrs.
50 Chip freeroll for anyone who has played 100 raked hands in the last 4 days, etc ...

Anyway, you get the point.

I've sat at the cash tables for more than an hour each of these past three days, begging and cajoling people to join me, and only 1-2 have come to play, and then only briefly.

Admin - take a look at how luckyflops.eu has mixed up their games. Seriously, log in and have a look. That site actually has a really good mix, and significantly better traffic as a result. YOU have a better, more stable platform. Combine that with a good mix of games and you could see some real progress, in my view.

 

You are talking about the wrong site I think. There are always about 6-15 people on Bitcoinpoker.gg, because they churn the hourly 0.003 btc freeroll all day. There are 9 people logged in as I type.

I'm sitting at a micro stakes cash table right now, and for the next hour or so. Or until my chips run out, lol. You are welcome to join me.

I'm sitting at a ring table, come join me. Small stakes, and I promise no soul reading. Lol ...

Thks to Bluegamebits and Thetron for the action today. I may or may not play tomorrow ... Saturday and real life intrudes. We'll see.

Ring game again today in about 1hr. Bring your Craaaazy. And some chips ... lol.

Hey, it turns out these FR are running, with only 3-4 people showing up. These are 0.01 btc FR. Times on the application are displayed in EST ... so I had been logging in at the wrong time ... count me in.

Hi Sy, I see you around and I know you play.

I've been playing Bitcoinpoker.gg for a few weeks now and can tell you there are few dozen guys and girls playing the hourly 3mbtc FR every moment. Login now and you will see for yourself. Actually I play it less because so many people are showing up. Software and several withdrawals have been smooth for me, and that is from direct experience.

I'm going to try this game for a couple more days and then sit ring at another small btc site. I'm open to any suggestions ...

Ok Bluegamebits showed up for about 20 minutes and took 5 chips off me. See how easy that was. The rest of you missed out. I'm planning to sit again tomorrow, same time and same place. You are welcome to have a run at my stack.

Ok, this is pathetic people. It is 2:30pm EST and not another soul has sat down.

Poker site owners be informed. Freerollers don't play ring games. There are very few of us who do ... exceptions among the crowd.

Now it is understandable, maybe intelligent, that Allincrypto and Bitpoker.io are apparently cutting their losses.
