SD is a profit generating monster...amazing! Already $215K profit in just 4 days.

I am eagerly awaiting the March report to see if the total BTC bet as well as average BTC per bet decreased due to the
price going from ~32 to ~92. I expect BTC per bet to decrease but total BTC bet to not go down due to increased userbase.

I wish exact numbers were posted for BTC per bet and total BTC bet each month, but from the graph alone it looks like BTC profits and BTC wagered is going down while the same numbers measured in USD is going up. If someone has the data for each month I wouldn't mind making a nice table along with USD conversions each time, I think the SDICE shares will benefit from more information on their profits.

The exact numbers will be available when evoorhees posts the March earnings report, which should be any day now...

Insane. Hopefully some individual didn't lose all the profits so far for April, and it was a more joint effort Grin

Keep it up sd!

Just curious, ¿why people play a game that CAN'T be beaten?

The worst enemy of Bitcoin is Mt.Gox exchange.

why people smoke, you can't beat cancer ?

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.
it has lots of buttery taste..

I do really think some of those big wins of last month coming from double spending exploit, forcing sdice to wait for 1 confirm. Bad luck shouldn't happen so often from now on  Cool

Looks like there is a bot playing from this address 1MMqBiVZiciztWqL635TLVMnTXeqSQ8jLU.

blockchain.info shows hundreds of low probability bets in just the past hour or so.

If one of them hits, say bye-bye to all the profits so far this month.

It can be beaten Smiley. 1.9% house edge is TINY. Chances are, if you played less than 50 games of SD, their house edge hasn't even affected you, and you were playing 50/50.

It's only people who play THOUSANDS of games that end up losing everything due to house edge.

Some casino's take up to 10% margins, SD takes 1.9% which is extremely fair.

Obviously though, in the long run they profit, but so do a lot of other people Cheesy

This sounds quite dubious to me. Can you prove your assertion?

For the sake of this argument, lets say SD's house edge is 2%.

For every 100 games played, you win 49, you lose 51. Therefor, for every 49 games played, you win 24 and lose 25 (Give or take .1 of a win lol). That's one extra loss than win every 50 games on average. In 50/50 gambling, in theory, you will not make any profit or loss. So for 49/50 of the rolls you do with SD, their house edge is not affecting you what so ever. If you're betting an average of 1% of your money every time you bet, it's going to take 1000 rolls for SD's edge to take 20% of your money. Therefor, with an average of 1% of your money (Not compounding) gambled each time, it'll take 5000 rolls before you are 'cleaned' due to SD's house edge.

Obviously the 50/50 can have you go either up or down a lot during those 5000 rolls. But that's 50/50, and has no EV apart from entertainment.

With such a low house edge as 2%, the variance involved when gambling is still massive. The player has enormous chances at making a lot before house edge even comes into play.

It's unbeatable when you look at everyone who has ever gambled there, and then add all their bets together. That's when house edge starts really showing. But to the individual bettor who's looking for a bit of fun, it's more or less unoticeable.

I just feel as if you guys are making it out to be a lot bigger than it really is (The house edge).

You're forgetting about variance. Variance is why you might not notice the house edge in the short term. There's no 50 game cut off, but as you play longer, your losses approach 1.9% of the total you bet (assuming an infinite bankroll).

A game in which you are paid double for a win and in which you have 49.05% chance of winning results in an expected win percentage of 98.1 - house odds of 1.9%.

For 50 turns of this game the 95% confidence interval for wins is 18 to 31, which is a gain of  ~ - 28% to + 24%. This interval is many times larger than the expected loss of 1.9% and so the effect of the negative expected value is very small by comparison, and not noticed. But there is still a significant gap between the bound for the losses and the bound for the gains. I think I'd notice that 4% difference over a number of 50 turn games.

After 10000 of this game, the 95% confidence interval for wins is 4807 to 5003, a gain of ~ -3.86% to + 0.06%. Still an approximate difference of 4%.

The house edge is there. You might not notice it, but it has an effect on each and every roll you make.

The house edge is there. You might not notice it, but it has an effect on each and every roll you make.
To make it more understandable, every time you send 1.00 BTC to Satoshidice, they send you back 0.981 BTC. If you send the 0.981 BTC to them again, you now have 0.9624 BTC. They have just added variance to this process to keep you entertained for a while. The more you bet, the more you reduce the variance and approach the above scenario. The more you bet, the more you compound your loss.

The only winning move is not to play.
