Each week I'll quote the previous week's chart, and post the new one. That way you can follow the chain of links back through time. Here's this week's: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FvGglpwF.png&t=665&c=NW0JpXiJKeIRcA) We were on schedule to keep 1% of the weekly wagered amount until: 11:28:15 *** rhiann (587523) [#1221109150] bet 0.8 BTC at 3.6% and won 21.2 BTC ***

That is an awesome idea!
I like that sometimes the underdogs win. It kinda like the reverse of when someone loses his 98% bet (and 7000 BTC haha).

In terms of investment risk, I put full trust in the owner of the site.
I have a question about the risk of 3rd party attack (in particular gov't or regulatory) -
One can imagine emergencies where Doog is not able or available to perform the necessary transactions and 'dump' the sites assets (investments and balances) into the emergency addresses.
Can I assume a 'fail-safe' process is in place to ensure the safe return of all deposits (and investments)?
Ideally, the default mechanism would 'dump' the entire holdings into emergency addresses every single day *unless* the site owner prevents this (because he is both able and available) by saying the 'magic word'.
Knowing that such a mechanism is in place (without the actual details.... of course) might increase investors confidence when news of BTC attacks and seizures is still recent history.
Thoughts?

I asked this question a while ago, I would be very interested by the answer as well even if I am not invested (...)

why would dooglus implement something like this? people are investing and playing anyways... And what would another increase in users offer to him? The site bankroll is big enough anyways and the max. wager is not really used. I really see no incentive for dooglus to make any changes in this regard ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

21- I agree, he has no big incentive to get more investors.
My thinking was that if the site was shut down by the 'powers that be', he might be less vulnerable if everyone was made whole.
On second thought, maybe you are right..... If funds are seized (rather then 'dumped/returned) or stored for safe keeping in the block chain.... that gives the owner (in this case doog, but *any* owner) lots of leverage at a time he would need it the most..... so, maybe I would do that instead.
Regardless, I remain curious. No offense intended here and im not implying anything about the character of anyone.

Guys. Dooglus already said that he has a "fail-safe" in place!
It is probably something like a few persons that can access the money if they get together and an automatic system is probably pretty risky but I hope that the fail-safe scenario is really safe ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) JD seems as safe as it gets but if it is 5persons that need to get together to access the money it is not too safe compared to 6persons out of 8 for exemple because if one of the 5 is not available, the money cannot be withdrawn; odds are those persons are close to dooglus so there is a systemic risk involved

You are missing a bit thing here: most of the coins are stored in a cold wallet. Any authomatic mechanism such as those you describe should need to have access to that cold wallet, which would make it not a cold wallet anymore. This implies that the dead man's switch he implemented needs someone with access to the cold wallet to scan its private key into the system.

Great job this week guys. Your coins worked hard for us and somehow managed to retain over 5% of the amount wagered!
For a complete picture you should also post the bet(s) that made us rich (or poor) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Someone must have lost big time to create that jump on the chart.

Can you please clarify this? You said there was a 5% retention (ie. house edge) but the profit was only 2.06%?

Let's put it into a mathematical formula you can utilize: 5.00% profit = 2.06% profit, false Here's a link to help you verify that (though this is basic mathematics): http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=5%25+%3D+2.06%25

The effective house edge is 5% of all wagered coins. That doesn't tell you how many coins are wagered. Would you expect to make 5% profit if no one even used the site all week?

This means that if there were 100 BTC wagered, the site got at least 5 BTC in profit. He then stated that the profit for the week was only 2.06% profit for the week. In other words, if there were 100 BTC wagered, 2.06 would have been taken in profit. Again, how can 5% (5 BTC) possibly be equal to 2.06% (2.06 BTC) when we're talking about the same thing (profit) over the same time period (a week) when both are using the same variable (wagered amount)? How much is in the investment pool is irrelevant to any of this discussion.

No they're not using the same variable. When you invest you buy a percentage of the profits. This is totally independent of the amount wagered and actual profit/loss. They're two different numbers which gives you two different denominators when calculating the percents. Also, a lot of the wagered coins aren't really different coins. I bet one coin, win. I have two coins. Bet another coin. Lose. Bet another coin. Lose. That's 3 BTC worth of bets when only two real coins ever existed. So 1000 bitcoin bet doesn't mean that someone transferred 1000 bitcoin.
