Take the 6 blocks from the right and reverse the order
7e3fc9 c3ab04 8535bb cbd2dc 72c71e d2ad48

Cool, keep in mind when you raise the betting that if someone stands to net more than 25 BTC they can get an edge on you by selectively dumping blocks. I mean they can always screw you by dumping blocks that they find, but it isn't worth the cost to them until the betting gets higher.

It occurs to me now that you have a max but cannot enforce it since bets are anonymous so this could be a problem at any time.

I thought about that too, but for anyone to do that even remotely effectively is to have a large amount of hashing power.

The final maximum will probably be much less than 25 which makes dumping blocks not worthwhile.
For now, bets over the maximum will be manually refunded.

Good idea. Baccarat is a favorite of the coveted "asian whale", you'll just need to raise limits to 30kusd a hand....

Hope to raise the limit there one day. I still need to solve the block dumping problem without introducing private keys.
