I'm theorizing about a potentially great game if I'm right in that it can be made fair to play.

So essentially you take a Casino's bankroll and let the users guess if within 30 seconds their bankroll with go up (call) or down (put). Let's say this Casino has a house edge of 1%, so since it's more likely to win by calling the player will receive 99.5% profit if he calls and wins, but if he puts and wins he gets a 100.5% profit. You can use the Casino's normal bankroll for this, a separate bankroll is not needed. Say if somebody tries to cheat by losing on purpose 1 BTC and then calls the bankroll with another 1 BTC, he will end up losing .5%.

Do you guys think this is a good idea, and is it a game you would like to play?

Quick and partially finished mockup for what the interface of such a game might look like: http://s.codepen.io/Alanay/debug/YGVABN

Well... What to say...
You know, idea is really interesting, but there are a lot of similar games in the Internet. And, of course, casinos will not be really popular in the nearest future. Wanna know why? As i said, there are a lot of online casinos that will provide customers with great games and service. It will be really hard to become popular in this sphere. Do you think you can? And do you really want to be involved in such a dirty sphere?
We can talk about this if you want.  Wink
