Didn't SD start requiring 1 confirmation? Maybe that caused the betting dropoff as the fun was in knowing (almost) instantaneously whether you won or not...

The exact way the double spend protection system works is secret.
For bets above a certain amount and within certain variables 1 confirmation is needed, but for most transaction 0 confirmation should be fine.

I am trying to figure out what the dividend should be for April, but I am running into different numbers in different places. The Google Docs spreadsheet says the profits for shareholders for April was 466.8455515763, but the MPEX website says total dividends of 1`795.55981337 will be paid. What factor am I missing here and where does that 1`795.55981337 number come from?

[FTWbitcoinFTW]

13% of total april profit = 466BTC to public shareholders
37% of total april profit = 1329BTC to john doe the mysterious

Total paid on MPEX by S.dice = 1795BTC

Stop the madness!

Technically we're still well above the expected 1.9% edge, and not to mention December through February were fantastic months financially. At some point math will win and we'll dip down to match what's expected.

Stop the madness!

I was told (by someone who apparently had a LOT more statistics knowledge than me) that this is a common misconception. IIRC once a random-walk "wanders off" the expected line it is likely to parallel the original curve IF luck remained 100% consistent. Of course it will not, so there will be both upward and downward random influences, but there is supposedly "no particular reason" for the real data to "seek out" the original curve and stick to it.

This was from a discussion on Martingale techniques where it was pointed out that the number of losses in a row were independent from each other and therefore much longer streaks than expected could happen (to the win or to the loss side of the ledger.)

Because of this discussion I don't really expect this to "correct" back to the line either, but again IANAS (...Statistician)

I was told (by someone who apparently had a LOT more statistics knowledge than me) that this is a common misconception.

That's right.  The actual profit line doesn't feel any need to get closer to the expected profit line.

But, being 1000 BTC above the line when the expected profit is 10k means it's 10% higher than it 'should be', but later, when it's 1000 BTC above the expected profit of 100k it's only 1% higher than it should be.  So in that sense it tends to get closer to the expected value.  The 1000 BTC gap will remain, on average, but it will become less significant as profits increase.

Most of the recent profit seems to be the result of a failed martingale progression:

Edit: and who knows - maybe the recent slow decline in profits was the result of a sequence of successful martingale progressions, maybe even by the same player.

You can barely even notice the increase in the expected profit anymore..

Poor Satoshi Dice. I guess people are getting smarter now & not gambling

That would be like saying, I guess people are actually stopping with smoking.

I don't think so because the source of compulsive smoking and gambling is unhappiness, and the source of unhappiness is being abused in child raising. Since today an astonishing 90% of mothers in the West still spank their children, I think compulsive smoking and gambling is here to stay.  

Logically there should also be a great inflow of new gamblers as sdice offers much better service than the old gambling world.


So, I'm guessing the current slow growth, is to be explained by the recent bitcoin bubble.

It is logical that bubbles attract gamblers. As they can get the same easy rush of winning without investing much energy.

I think many gamblers figured, 'better stop playing sdice and just hold onto my bitcoins', and were enjoying the winnings.

Now that the bubble is bursting they are getting less and less winning kicks from just holding bitcoins and will likely soon turn to the tables again.

We will discover the coming month whether my theory is true.

Bwhahahaha, I love random statistics! Did you know that 95% of all people who have "rational" in their username aren't really rational at all? I like to visit the Bureau of Made Up Statistics to get my credible information as well....

I'm not debunking your statistics, those seem fine. What I'm actually finding immense humor in is your "logical" process:

• Compulsive smoking and gambling is caused by unhappiness.
• Abuse is a source of unhappiness.
• Spanking can be considered abuse.
• Therefore: Spanking = unhappiness = compulsive smoking and gambling.

To compare:

• Large ships are made of metal.
• The hammer in my toolbox is also made of metal.
• Therefore: Hammer = Large ship

Good god this is off topic...
