Hey all,

In regards to these jackpot games, I'm rather split. Part of me sees people losing interest rapidly, while the other part sees the large-scale potential (gambling hasn't lost popularity, right?). I tend to favor the latter, as the thrill of playing can be amplified by wins and soften the blow of losses. Debate!

Plenty of jackpot games.  The pozi seem to be dying btcbubble is down due to mybitcoin problems, and bitcoin randomizer down from a hack.  Sldoubler seems to be active, I had the least trustin that one but I'vemade more in comissions on sldoubler (from ads on btcbubble I think) so you never know. 

I've seen the recent, send to address and wait, but haven't bought in, waiting for the reset.

Links are on my site- check my sig.

I predict that with time people will stick with a select few that show they are honest. A few will always keep popping up from scammers hoping to get a quick BTC and take all. Slowly the number will go down.

So far the 3 I've tried have been pretty honest and update listings periodically. Hawk pretty much update by the hour, Tyler updates the list and does the sending when he isn't at work, and NothinG's game is automated to reset each day. Know the risk you're taking and have fun. It is a gambling game when you break it down. So it basicly comes down to attitude. Are you a gambling man, sort of a gambling man, or just want to play it safe?

I started a doubler with jackpots yesterday and it runs for the rest of the week, so it's still plenty early to get in on it.

I like some of the individuals online automated games, but they seem to me to be an easy target for a hacker with a little spare time.

I think once a real online casino comes along that people can trust and have fun at, then all the threads run by people like me will die off.

Unlikely, as there will always be a trust issue and shady code.

That's why things like sportsbetting - where results are independently verifiable - will be more popular going forward.

Sports can be rigged, but not by code, only by refs or players  Grin

I like the doublers. The feel like a mix of investment and poker... you sort of have to read the game and determine if the rest of the players might be willing to call your raise.

Bitcoins: solid enough to build pyramids.

It depends on the way people see the relation reward/risk. I think it is early yet and the likelihood of being rewarded is higher than chances of loosing. However, "some people" are getting MAD because now there are lots of these games, and they fear not being rewarded. For these people, I say: DON'T BE MAD, BRO! =)
