Somebody bet $7M worth of BTC...

[theonewhowaskazu]

software gambling websites are rigged. As a programmer I could make the software do anything. watch your betting habits and then when you bit big you lose. I can also see how much btc you have in your local wallet and the one you sent from. So make the game play accordingly

Correction: "As a programmer I could make the closed source software do anything."

But to be fair to Caiapfas, he does have a point. I'm not saying that just-dice is doing this, but theoretically, a gambling company COULD insert fake dice rolls earlier in the gambling record, and especially if they only do it for a couple high-rollers, its EXTREMELY unlikely anybody would ever notice.

An online casino cheating their customers. Could never happen

Because that account hasn't changed the secret yet. You need to click on random to get a new seed, then the old one gets published.

Also this particular player had loads more BTC than what he lost, of course it hurts, but it wasn't the end of the world. He told everyone not to worry about him.

Gambling is always a gamble.

this!

Gambling like the lotto is taxation on the stupid.

Yup lotto is one of the biggest scams ever.

  Crazy ..

Definitively he has much more Bitcoins than he can use/spend, thats why such high bets. Young early adopter I guess.

Bitcoins redistributed = good thing

I have to agree with this assumption 100%.

It doesnt matter which site I am on or which game I play. I like dice and roulette (and sometimes slots). I notice if I bet small amounts I win just fine. Example. 10mBTC > 20 mBTC > 40 mBTC then WIN. If I'm betting larger amounts I'll just lose and lose big. Example being 200 > 400 > 800 mBTC... LOSE.

Ive kept a log over the past month since I started and I am overall up a lot. Its all about money management, nothing else. Theres no holy grail as far as Im concerned and when betting larger amounts, the computer really makes sure you lose

The reason against rigging gambling websites is that you can make more money in the long term simply by being the house. 

There's no need to cheat in games that you have already rigged in your favour and have gamblers playing anyway.

I can't imagine the depression after losing $7 million on a 96% bet, but then again I would NEVER bet 7 million dollars in a casino ever. What was he thinking??

Lack of thinking was the thinking. Or simple addiction. There are a huge number of gambling addicts around. Just most don't have $7M lying around. Most are broke.

[allthingsluxury]

Wow that is just crazy.

[Bitbuy]

Did the player ever make a comment about this anywhere?

Closest I know was the selling of his JD account:

Yeah, and remember it might have been an early adopter and this might only have been a small portion of their wallet.

Perhaps trying to get rid of the "evidence" before the feds come after him

[quone17]

that guy must be GUTTED!

That guy is an idiot / gambling addict, probably high at the time. Serves him right. Casinos are there to take your money. Fact.

Being an addict of gambling or drugs is a disease - it doesn't "serve him right."  You could say maybe losing will help him recover eventually (by stopping gambling), but he's not inherently a bad person.
