Almost every time I reply to a post in the other "Welcome to the Greatest Bitcoin Casino on earth!" thread, the casino owner deletes my post. It seems he doesn't like people pointing out how unfair his site is, and suggesting ways it could be made fair.
I'm going to post my deleted replies here. This thread isn't "self moderated". Discussion is encouraged.
"But with any of the dice games, how can you tell if the winning seed was generated before or after your bet and roll"
You can tell because the sha256 hash of the seed is published before the roll.
Do some research before dismissing the 'concept'. It is called "provably" fair for a reason...
Or how can you tell if the first seed generated (which might have been a win) wasn't discarded and regenerated until your roll would create a loss instead?
Because after publishing the hash of the server seed, the user gets to pick a client seed which changes the outcome. So the house has no way of preselecting the result.
Again, this is easy to find on any provably fair site.
In my opinion, 'provably fair' is just a scam run by some gambling sites to instil confidence in the customer
The thing is, this isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of mathematical facts. You can think it's "just a scam", but you would be demonstrably wrong to do so.
Quoted for those few individuals that seem to have missed it.
We didn't miss it. It's just offputting to post in a thread when you delete any post which points out errors in your thinking. Man up and defend yourself and your point of view rather than taking the easy way out and deleting dissenting viewpoints.
