bustabit.com -- The Social Gambling Game

[RHavar]

At 418k BTC wagered, we're slowly closing in the half-a-million bitcoin wagered. I'd like to do something to celebrate with some giveaways, of the three which would you guys prefer:

* More physical coins (e.g.. http://silverwallets.com/ like last time)
* Trezors  ( https://bitcointrezor.com/ )
* CryptoSteels  ( http://cryptosteel.com/ )
*
* Plain bitcoin

IMO bitcoin rebates are always going to be best.  It would be cool if it was some sort of contest or competition.

[RHavar]

Yeah, seems like everyone wants bitcoins I'd prefer giving out physical goods though, as it's something people can have to remember the site, and won't just lose it

You can print up shirts to give to people.  Besides, mailing something out kind of goes against the anonymous spirit of bitcoin don't you think?

Not really, last time I did it (with silver wallets) I purposely didn't take peoples addresses myself -- I just paid for their orders. Ideally I would just bulk buy some coupons from one of the sellers, and give them out. 

[Superhitech]

Damn, this is dangerous. Don't be fooled by their social engineering shits. Those damn bot and script kiddies are really false!

the dangerous thing is, the bot supposedly works and is reasonably good (From what I've heard). But that doesn't make it guarantee it's safe or virus free

Hey Ryan, does CSGOCrash.com have your permission to use your code for Bustabit? It's being used for commercial use. If they don't you should prolly file a DMCA or something.

They do. https://www.bustabit.com/license.txt

Oh alright. Didn't see that. Thanks!

It seems like CSGOCrash is having a little difficulty, as with all the CSGO gambling sites due to the scandals.

If you want to win CSGO skins from betting, why not bet at bustabit with bitcoin, then withdraw your bitcoin winnings and buy CSGO skins with them? Steam now officially accepts bitcoin, and I can sell you some skins for a discounted price.

After all, RHavar wrote the original script, so we might as well play on his site.

I haven't been following it, but I thought Valve was cracking down on gambling (source)? But it's been 3 weeks, and it seems many of the listed sites are still operational

(Also bustabit has a much lower house edge than csgocrash, ours is scaled from 0 to 1%, where there's is 1-2% -- so if you already have bitcoin, ours probably makes a smarter choice )

Is this solely from removing the bonus aspect out or are there more changes that they have made?

The removal of the bonuses account for 1%, but they also changed the probability of an instant-bust from 1-in-101 to 1-in-51 (as you can see in their fiddle), which accounts for another 1%. So in total their house edge is a static 2% higher than ours


Edit: Just to be clear, I have absolutely no problems with people offering high(er) house edge games. But I do take a bit of issue with false advertising on their homepage

Yes, according to Valve, they have a new policy and are shutting down sites, for example CSGODouble, CSGOWild, and CSGOLotto have shut their doors, however it seems that the smaller dice sites who haven't received any warning from Valve are still running.

But like you said, your site is superior due to the lower house edge and probably better support in my opinion.

11:29 qCrc5u4: @Ryan bustabit.com/game/3002891 do you like my skills i manually cashed that shit

^^ Now that's impressive

Suspiciously impressive. Not sure it is physically possible to do that manually at that multiplier.

Well of course it's physically possible.  Not to say "I'm going to cash out at exactly 49.26 multiplier" but if he pressed the button it's going to register at an exact time.  It just so happens that this exact time was milliseconds before the crash.  At least, I'm assuming that's what he's saying.

[RHavar]

At least, I'm assuming that's what he's saying.

Yeah exactly. It was just sheer, dumb luck that landed him a perfect cashout

As soon as those unrecognizable sites will be popular, Valve will sent a warning to them soon anyway. They changed the rules on some sites just to maintain it, like dota2/csgolounge as they blocked the usage of some selected countries.

Great social bitcoin gambling game

Great social bitcoin gambling game

Glad you like! And this month being one of our best, pulling in over 28k btc of wagers -- making it the most popular bitcoin gambling game of the month (AFAIK).

Just a reminder to players, please don't run bots or strategies that scrape/crawl the site (e.g. download player or game pages) -- it trips up the ddos filter and your ip will likely get banned. If this happens to you, please just email me your ip address (rhavar@protonmail.com) and confirm you've turned off any bots that scrape/crawl the site 

[Ryan Dugan]

This is a very fun game I think it is fair. More fair then most. I am not sure why people want to use bots and think that they will make money. It is not true. Bustabit rounds are long so if you use a not to play over hours because of that it is ok but it will not win for you. That is impossible.

Is there any way to get such info without that happening

There are +EV bots at bustabit, because of the nature of the game (bonuses for late cashouts), and some people think they can make a profit doing martingale. They could also be trying to chase a large multiplier with a bot, and using it to bet while they are busy. If you have a +EV bot, you can play it for days/weeks/months and possibly be in a profit. It can win for you, and it definitely is possible. Those bots are probably really hard to code though, and no one who has a +EV bot has shared it/sold it AFAIK.
