Congratulations to dudaxmaimons who has continued his 19x martingale to an amazing 238 bitcoin (..and counting)






(Sorry, I don't like to advertise much. But I feel it'd be a waste of the $133000 USD I lost last night to not do so  )

That seems like an expensive way to advertise.

Why don't you buy my forum signature instead? A snip at just $100000 USD.

Wow, that is quite an impressive win streak he has going there. He has avoided the dreaded martingale fail so far I see.

He got balls. some serious titanium balls. Also seems like his strategy is working fine. Too much lucky to make that high.

[convertekk]

The guy is on an amazing run. witnessed it myself.

Martingale has failed him quite a few times. Seems like the comeback was mostly due to some lucky yolo I think he went from +170 to +70 once.

any free claim to play ?

Oh that is some crazy swings in profit. Yeah, I was surprised that martingale would have lasted him that long, but he certainly has quite a bit of luck if his yolos are keeping him in profit.

I don't believe the site currently has a faucet. You will need to deposit to play.

[jaysabi]

I'm wondering if you notice any impact on site play when there are wild swings in bitcoin's price? It's been steadily appreciating since early 2016 up to over $1100 yesterday, then suffered a 20ish percent drop in a few hours before swinging wildly in the 900s. Is the gambling seem pretty steady through all this, or do you see less (or maybe more) when there are wild swings in price?

It's pretty difficult to say. If I had to guess, I'd say bustabit isn't affected too much as at least I certainly haven't noticed any changes in volumes, although since bitcoin is worth more now, our volume denominated in USD would have gone up a lot.

What really makes a huge difference, is that as in bustabit everyone is playing the same game, if the recent history (especially last 8 or so hours?) has had a lot of good game results, we have a lot of activity (people recycling their winnings, etc) and if we have bad games activity goes way down (e.g. a lot of people bust or rage quit). So it's pretty easy to correlate activity with the recent history of game results, but bitcoin prices, not noticeably so.

Unfortunately not, we now require all users to deposit to play

In the past we had a faucet, but unfortunately it attracted a lot of the wrong sort of people (abusers and professional beggars) so I removed it, which had the unfortunate side effect of making it annoying for new players to try the game (wait for a deposit). So in the near future (~1 month), I'll add a small faucet (with a limited amount of claims per ip address) to assist with trying the game

I think you could add a deposit bonus: it is not a faucet but you could attract more players. Who wants to try out your game will be pleased to have a bonus to rely on. Give it a thought

You could do something similar but just add a 5 bit or whatever balance to every new registration from a new IP address. No faucet abusing, unless they make a lot of accounts and shoot for a 200x or something, and new players will see from the start without needing to use a captcha or ask where the faucet is.

Bustabit can have an extremely low house edge, so it would require a huge wagering requirement to make it close to neutral EV. People won't be pleased if they have to wager their bonus 500 times, and Ryan wouldn't be happy if people kept creating new accounts to take advantage of +EV bonuses

exactly. a deposit bonus is a bad idea looking at how the site is made.
I think the best option would be to have a ~5 bits faucet per day per IP (if balance is <1 of course).

[RHavar]

Yeah, I'm rather against deposit bonuses. I've really yet to see any that aren't traps for players, and they'd be better off playing without them. I feel like the best (and most honest) thing I can do, is keep the house edge as low as economically possible.

I do plan on bringing back the faucet however, but in a limited form. The way I've coded it so far (which is subject to change) is you'll get 5 claims per ip address. Once an ip address has claimed a faucet more than 5 times, it's forever locked (for that ip address)

The primary point of this, is it should give most new players a chance to try the game without depositing (assuming they're not using a shared ip that's already burnt the faucet) but it'll not be a big target for abuse or professional fauceters
