Interesting stats ! How could I acces to theses stats, cause in my public profile I have "grosss profits" and "net profits" but I don't have the amount wagered neither the total bonus won.

Those are not visible on the site at the moment. Perhaps in future versions, we will be able to see detailed stats such as these though.

very nice game

I just have a quick question regarding the bonuses. It appears to me that the bonuses are based on how much you bet and not when you cash out, as long as you're one toward the end. Is there a more clear explanation as to how the bonuses are paid? I'm a little confused.

Yep, check this section in the FAQ:
https://www.moneypot.com/faq#last

The bonus is based on a multiplier so you are really only competing against people with similar bet sizes. Someone who bets 1 bit shouldn't be able to take all of another person's bonus who bet 100,000 bits as that wouldn't be fair. So it creates a multiplier to determine how much each person should get based on their bet size.

I wrote a description of how bonuses are awarded on the previous page of this thread. It includes a worked example.

Here's a link to my post:

The one in the website is pretty clear. See https://www.moneypot.com/faq#last

It's in the FAQ section accesible from the landing page.

I had reread the FAQ one multiple times and it still wasn't clear. The example that dooglus gave made it a lot easier to comprehend how getting the bonus works. Thanks!

maybe just unlucky..

Unfortunately so. It's not quite as rare as you would imagine. The independent probability of this occurring is precisely 1% -- but as you mentioned, you did play a few games before such event happened.  In the FAQ and strategy guide, you'll find that referred to as the instant-crash. I've tried to give people some level of confidence that the game's are fair by sending the hashed outcome (and a hash of the seed used to make the output) -- which at least can demonstrate that the outcome of the game is 100% predetermined *before* anyone plays.

But I like to think, the best reason to think I'm not cheating -- is it's really not in my interest. I run this game completely transparently, using my real name (Eric Springer) and risk my reputation on it (which in turn, risks my ability to derive my livelihood living in a foreign country). And of course, if you run the maths on the house odds and statistics, I don't *need* to cheat -- the game always eventually works out in my favor. In fact, during the growth stage now -- I'd prefer to be making *nothing* to increase growth. (And in fact, feeding my profits into back into the game, via running some little promos)


Anyway, don't sweat it. The numbers and patterns can really get to your head. I had my own panic moment, when the house returns weren't matching what they should be. One of players was consistently beating the game -- the chance of them having such a return after so many games was less than 1 in a 1000. I was getting ready to halt game play while I did some thorough analysis -- but fortunately, I didn't. The guy kept playing, and sure enough the returns started trending back to the expected value.


Also, please ignore GoldGamingLTD -- he's a rather unsophisticated troll. If anyone has any legitimate concerns, please raise them!

A very interesting website and concept that could do much better if the design was more attractive.
I wonder why in each topic, there must be some trolls like GoldGamingLTD that must talk bad stuff no matter what, with no arguments, and for no reason.

I see a polluted community with a lack of education, and because of the free posting rules, anybody can talk trash and ruin somebody's reputation. Maybe admins could do something about it and ban these trolls?

Good luck with your concept. I wish people would be more supportive.

I think it's a really unique type of game and I've noticed a lot more people playing now, so it seems to be growing in popularity. I think some more statistics would complement the site well, such as the ability to see what the bonus pot is, be able to view rankings beyond the 10 top players, and also to be able to sort users by highest net profit in addition to highest gross profit,  and all time bonus award leaders. I think the more stats you can display the better.

[espringe]

Thanks Jaysabi, definitely agree.

In case you were wonder -- here are the top 10 winners:

[jaysabi]

Oooooh, I didn't even think about the biggest losers! Bonus stats!

Thanks, and keep up the good work. I'll be interested to see what you do to enhance the UI, if you end up making any changes at all.

Hi Eric,

 This is Venusian <3, Once again thanks & grats for this epic idea, I still love the site even though I just made a crazed mistake that cost me 80% of balance LOL, but I'm really not gonna let that happen again, I know how it got there, crazy bet sizes, anyways I re-deposited and got back a chunk of it already xD

 Will add MPot to crypto-resources/reviews database (in my sig), see ya around.

[vipgelsi]

Wow nice bonus paid.

[jaysabi]

Any chance you're working on a version that is mobile friendly? The game application doesn't load on my phone.

[cloverme]

Nice game, fun.... I don't get the social aspect of the game, but enjoyed playing it all the same.

[xrnath]

Wow... well done to all the winners.
Question... (I may be missing something, it's been a few days since I lost all my bits) however why did Ostrow betting 222 and stopping @ 250x only win 250 and yujinbojee betting 10 and stopping @ 150.01x only win 150.01?
