Would you invest in it and keep it alive overnight if I were to hypothetically put 3 BTC in?

Effective Immediately - Rule Changes
Initial Deposit Host Fee: 25% 100% of Expired Pots now go to Hosts
Deal with it.

So that means the 25% of the initial deposit is returned to the depositor, and the final pot all goes to whoever hosted the round? Just making sure I'm reading that right.

Let me explain. I'm tired of seeing single bet rounds expire bet-less because of poor and unattractive rule choices. I actually feel bad for those people, because they really should have just picked rounds that already have activity that have a decent chance of payout. Because of that, I'd prefer that Hosts who actually understand rule settings be the majority of the host population. Therefore, on initial deposit, 25% of the initial Host Deposit is Bitcoinduits. The expired pot at the end now goes 100% to the host. I'd like to have fewer, more active games, and in order to accomplish that, I did what I did. I know that some people won't like it, but hey.. Tough luck. Make your own Bitcoinduit and deal with the headaches yourself. I'd rather have quality over quantity. Regards, Jonathan

I think that's a good decision. Quality over quantity is good.

I definitely support the new rules.
I also think something should be changed to prevent a mostly inactive game from lasting for eternity. For example, Jackpot Doubler will probably never end because people just keep trying to snipe the jackpot, and with a 72 hour expiration, it takes a long time for someone to decide to finally step in and put in that tiny 0.1 BTC bet.

Well, my short experiment in Ponzi is over (not due to the new rules). I put in 1BTC and that went up to 3.6BTC in just 4 days, but I lost all of that in the second massive game. Just thought I'd post my results. Newcomers: you can actually earn very quickly in this game!

Yeah, I gotta say that I've come out ahead in the ponzi game, but not that much. I've mined 1.25 BTC over the past two months (Slush's pool with my crappy GeForce 460 GTX that only does about 60 MH/s), but I've gained 1 BTC from the ponzis. I'm thinking of starting up my own gambling site. I already know some PHP/MySQL, but I'm so busy with college for the next few days that I don't have the time to look up on coding and interfacing with BitCoin.

Something seems to be wrong with the deposit feature...I deposited 2 times into "JACKSPOT" one even with 1 confirmation, but nothing happens and now the game is over, because of this...
