I currently throttle bets after a certain amount but I am watching the server loads to see if this amount can be increased. Your bets should have only been delayed by 1 second per bet, did it seem like it was more than that ?
It seems that initially they are running much faster (around 3 bets per second, and that's fun to see stakes piling up), then all of a sudden slowing down to 1 second per bet or even slower. Local CPU load is not high, so it is evidently not a client-side issue...  Personally, I would opt for even higher bet speed (the speed limit could be set through an option)!  Problem is that there are a lot of bots which hammer the website constantly so increasing the limit makes the server load spike up. At the moment, a delay of 1 second is added for every 5,000 bets made in a day and I shall bring that up to 7,500 which should be good enough for most users I feel. I shall also look into implementing partial second delays at smaller intervals so that the 1 second delay doesn't feel like a big jump. Other sites implement white lists. 5,000 bets per day (or even 7,500) run at full throttle is surely not enough for auto-betting...  Can you tell me which sites operate whitelists and how they work ? |

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

PrimeDice has white lists. I don't know how they actually work, but the owner struggles with bots too, and if you're white-listed (I'm not), you get more free coins as a bonus. Someone more familiar with PD could probably add specifics to this... |

Is it not possible to shorten the delay if you see that the stakes are growing (i.e. something like martingale is being used)? That's what auto-betting is primarily used for... And this would add to the thrill (bets speeding up)! |

Also, it would be fun to show the max bet in the currently running auto-betting session... |

The highest bet that has been reached during the current auto-betting indeed (add it next to the number of rolls played and remaining)... |

To do that I would need to have a record of previous bets which I dont keep because that would bloat the database making stuff slower. You could track bets only for the current session of auto-betting, then reset it (or even reset the record when the bets return to the base bet within the auto-betting session)... |

You could track bets only for the current session of auto-betting, then reset it (or even reset the record when the bets return to the base bet within the auto-betting session)... That would have to be done using javascript and smart users would be able to bypass the delay if it is set using javascript and not server-side. I shall try to look into ways to remove the delay for specific betting patterns. |

It seems that BIGGEST BET THIS SESSION should be changed to BIGGEST WIN THIS SESSION (or added next to) and colored in green of course... |

Its not necessarily a win (in case it hits max bet and loses). I'll make it green. Adding it next to the rolls played will not look so good for users on narrow screens. |

FREE PLAY interferes with a running auto-betting session when the time comes for a free roll (that is interrupts it). Surely not what you would expect... |

Done and done! FREE PLAY interferes with a running auto-betting session when the time comes for a free roll (that is interrupts it). Surely not what you would expect... Not sure what I can do about that. I'll try to add an option in auto-bet which if you tick, the page will not be refreshed when free play timer runs out. |

It doesn't feel good to get interrupted when you are deep in the groove... |

P/L doesn't count jackpot losses, I played 100 times with jackpot on and end result was
P/L THIS SESSION : 0.00000005 BTC
But really I was 0.00000195 BTC on loss.

Including jackpot profit/losses in the P/L will not show accurately the efficiency of the betting strategy. I shall add a separate line for that. |
