This is the difference between being up 30 btc vs down 120 btc.

[Suushi]

[Zaih]

That's what I did. I'm up 0.22 BTC and I'm not playing any more

I think you are smart enough to know that it is impossible to win in negative EV games!

I know a guy who automated betting. Says he's up (not a ton mind you, but he is positive). I assume he's looking for streaks in their result generator. At least he doesn't take it too seriously I guess, knowing that the underlying strat is pretty -ev.

I have won over 9 bitcoin in 72 hours using new progressive betting system I wrote 3 days ago. Minimum bet is .0125. Started with 4 and now over 13 at the moment. Here are the results:

Will keep tweaking and testing variation in Excel... hope it sustains the win rate!

I know the house has an edge... But we'll see if proper money management can lock up my profits

Not true.  I'm up at SatoshiDice.  All you need is a little luck, and to quit while you're ahead.

It's impossible to stay up if you keep playing forever; eventually the negative expectation will drag you down but in the short term the 1.9% house edge is beatable if you're lucky enough.

Dooglus is a math whiz. He farts winning wagers when waking up on weekends. While weenies wish they would win but whine why? Why? Why did my wager wind up wasting my wad.

Yeah, "if you're lucky enough" - that's why they call it gambling. If you play long enough, you will lose for sure. If you play only a few times, "and you are lucky enough", you may win a little. But then, is it worth it just to win a little?

[omgitsmehehe]

I won 20BTC and quit. Atleast I think I did.... If it's not a Dice win then I have a very nice admirer

I'm up about 42 BTC, and have 'retired'.  It was a martingale bet that got out of hand and nearly cost me a lot more than that.  I was stupid to play it, and lucky not to lose.

I'm not saying it's a good idea to gamble on negative expectation games.  But I am saying it's possible to win, since I have done.

A brilliant commentary.  Defying expectations, fcmatt gets his ill-informed jabberings kompletely - ah f**k it.  Too hard.

Yes, of course it's possible to win. That's obvious, and that's exactly the reason why "not so smart" people get sucked in and lose what they cannot afford to.

That's not a dice win.  Dice wins have '1dice...' in their list of inputs.

I was countering this:

I tried it out, won on the second attempt putting me back into positives then I stopped playing, never to return. Not a fan of gambling, feel like I beat the system. 

[bit777]

I am down a couple btc.
