I played a couple of bets and noticed that immediately after i place one 0.01 bet, another one is placed on top of mine, at 5-10 secs. difference.
My guess is you have a 'bot' that places bets immediately after a player bets, to always be the top player and win it all.

I know blocks can't be predicted, but this way you increase your chances exponentially.

I may be wrong, but this is my first impression.
Will play more soon.

Regards.

It does indeed look like there might be some kind of bot playing on our site. Notice, however, that even bots do not really have an advantage, and they are actually taking a big risk of not entering a block, and losing their entire deposit.

Additionally, even the bot might *just* miss being the last transaction of a game, so all a bot is really doing, is taking big risks, and we believe that in the long run, it would not be any more, or any less profitable than playing manually.

In any case, we have been offline for a few hours while we made some improvements for everybody, and we're back online now, so we'll be glad to have you all back and playing.

There is definitely a bot. I checked the site and saw no one had won for 6 hours. I placed a bet and literally 5 seconds later another bet was placed. Indeed the bots are taking a huge risk, but they know that most people are going to make a few bets and then stop to limit losses.
