Peerbet.org - Play without house edge!

Isn't this information already stored in the profile though?

To get this info just for your profile I need to lookup transactions table 1 time using your username, but to get leader board I need to lookup for ALL users (i.e. average execution time will be x-times more, where x = total number of Peerbet users).

Raffles can't be revoked after they're done, so couldn't this info be put into the user table?

This will require to update these fields on each transaction (ticket buy, ticket refund and winning) which can significantly increase average response time.

That would save CPU power when people are looking at their own profile too.

This is not a problem, people see their profiles not so frequently.

What about a "Submit score" button, so people who have won a lot can submit their to the leaderboard?

Interesting idea! I will consider it after Android app release.

API updated. Now you can send funds to another account with "transfer" method.

I finally realized why server sometimes freezes for few minutes. Most probably it was caused by stats generation script, which is fixed now.

We have some issues with the server performance. Please don't worry if you see some error messages!

[giantdragon]

Recent server slowdown was caused by frequent queries on the large transactions history table, which overloaded disk system.
To increase performance, statistics on the user's profile page will cached and displayed with the delay up to 5 minutes.

Made few updates:
1. Raffles filter have been expanded with the option to hide private games.
2. Expected net profit will be displayed on the raffle page when you are purchasing tickets.

I have some progress in the Peerbet's Android app development. Raffle list, filter and sorter is almost complete.
You can see how it looks and suggest design improvements.

Some user said he see translation hint (from Swahili) in the Google Chrome.
I have added tag to all pages:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en">

Please report if you still see this bug.

Blockchain.info backend is down, therefore instant withdrawals may be unavailable and provably fair games may be in "waiting" status for some time.

UPD. Blockchain online again.

When you create new raffle a suggestion box will be displayed, so you can choose to match other players' bets instead of hosting own game. Suggestion list is being ordered by relevancy to the winning odds and bet amount you wishing to have (calculated based on the values "Number of tickets", "Single ticket price" and "Buy tickets" you have to enter to see it).

If you don't see this box, press F5 on the "Play now" page.

Android app is in active development, created new dialogs. Suggestions are welcome!

Android app is complete for about 80%. I decided to add tabs for navigation, take a look at new screenshot!

I want to thank giantdragon for this and for the development API (as well as for responding to my emails about small small issues I had).

I have created a C# class / project to wrap around the PeerBet API (which is quite nice API - thanks!).   If anyone is interested in this (and in helping to improve it - PM me.  I'll be getting the class up on GitHub soon, but so far it seems to work quite nice and I have automated my betting.

I am just playing around a bit, but wrote a "Martingale" bot for PeerBet.  I use quotes because given nature of PeerBet it is a little hard to keep in the form of true Martingale (but given how poor that strategy can be, maybe that is a good thing).

I haven't finalized it, but the source is available here -> https://github.com/dwmcqueen/pbmartingale

It currently works (in that it runs and places bets).  Any developers out there that want to improve it - feel free.  Note that it also has a simple wrap-around API for PeerBet that may be helpful to anyone else doing development.

If helpful, I welcome any donations to 1FcznMjGBFxD9YvcFfMCVbhkkKYSACCNcP

You can't just remove the damn OperationFabulous ads and leave the bid active! At-least cancel the bid before doing that!
