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.
SatoshiDice is up 3,760 BTC (over $400,000) just over the month of April 2013. That's an unusually bad month for them too. Clearly the house wins in the long run. I post charts of SatoshiDice's profit each day, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80312.msg1990399#msg1990399

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: https://blockchain.info/charts/balance?address=1KGBhwojYViF3rL7x85rmoQve7ohwaGgo9Will 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 I am now up to 20 BTC in a few days from 4 BTC.... up $1800

Made money and then lost it all. The trick is to play, win, and STOP lol
If only I knew lol Yeah I've won quite a bit, lost quite a bit. I was stupid to be 'playing' during the massive spike recently... 0.1 BTC was lot to bet at the time, over and over. However I'm about break even at the end of the day...

How do you win at satoshidice if you don't have a time machine? But seriously, since Bitcoin is distributed, and trusts in no central authority at all, the network doesn't know what time it is. We can't rely on a central time server to tell us. So the nodes tell each other what time they think it is, and each node works out how 'wrong' its own clock is based on how different it if from the times as reported by the nodes it talks to. When a new block is received, we don't throw it away if its timestamp is earlier than the timestamp of the previous block. Maybe the previous block's timestamp was wrong, and the new block's is right. So what happens is we look back about 11 blocks, and look back 1 block, and take the average of those two timestamps. If the new block's timestamp is later than that average, it's accepted. This means that sometimes a block's timestamp is older than the previous block's timestamp, which is probably what you're seeing in the graph.

I have bet about 2BTC back at their early days, they deserve their success despite their downsides.

Exactly! i lost 4 BTC a six months ago on satoshi dice (that time all i had was 5 BTC - serious loss ) These days a played a bit on primedice.com (very nice service btw) and won some BTC But seriously about gambling: you can win on such sites only with strategy Bitcoinm was talking about. If you will keep playing for too long, eventually you will lose everything (and yes 12 losses with 50% probability looks almost impossible, but more you play, the closer this situation is ) GAMBLE ONLY AS MUCH COINS AS YOU CAN LOSE WITHOUT ACCUSATIONS. Gambling should always be for fun And fun should never lead to you losing more than will make you upset. And yup, when your upset you make accusations

I don't like primedice, I've never won anything, ever. I know it's supposed to be "provably fair", but I've lost their free rolls during the promotion (50% game, even 75% games) maybe 25+ times and lost my own coins 10+ times too without ever winning.

DON'T PLAY THIS GAME ffs it's pure negative EXPECTED VALUE the expected value ranges from -1.938 up to -4% http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/3852/9e7v.jpgso at the end if you really want to bet go for the one with .91 prob to win and retire while you are ahead either way house will always win in the long run, no matter if you win, the repeated experiment considering thousands of people playing the game, house will win !!!

If the house wouldnt win in the long run it would loose money. Every Casino game is -EV. Always. Else the Casino would go Bankrupt. The only thing that CAN happen is that the house will have a really bad streak, that CAN happen if the investments get really big...
If someone would bet insane amounts on low Probability bets and wins, Satoshi could go broke by that
Nvm i just see that there are maximum amounts on the low probability ones..
