Max bet, same time. It's look suspicious. I can't explain that.

It's because some players bet big money all at once or right after each other.

As much money ive gambled with satoshi i always tend to never win anything!

If you go to Vegas or almost any casino you will notice those bet sizing aren't unusual. Don't forget the losing max bet around the same time. There is at least one big whale playing SatoshiDICE.

Well so far I have had a 75% win streak on S.Dice. I don't play it too often though.

If you look at the big wins you will see 1 address from the big wins list wins a lot. If you look in the leaderboard you will see this address is in the hole, A LOT.

Why would anyone waste their money on this garbage?

[russianfool]

Why would anyone waste their money on this garbage?

Why would anyone gamble in general?

Some people say that they do it to make money, and those people either misunderstand simple math and statistics, or choose to ignore it (much like some people mining BTC at the moment on inefficient cards and hoping to make a profit, without taking into account electricity costs and the like).

The real reason is (probably) that they're willing to pay 3% or whatever for the entertainment and exhilaration that the gambling provides them with.
