After 1 year of diversified bitcoin dice house bank investment we lost 32.46%

[Bitcoin Betting Guide]

On the 1st of October 2014 we invested ฿1 in the house bank of the top 9 bitcoin gambling investments sites

This is the performance as of the 07th of January 2015. There is a more recent update on the site

We will report and compare the performance of those investments as well as a key site stat that you won’t find anywhere else. Expected annual return is based on the investors edge and how often the house bank is turned over. How many times the bank is turned over per year multiplied by the edge is the expected annual return.

We will update the figures and this thread at least every 2 weeks. Here is the table

We have also reviewed the operators here.

It's still amateur hour out there i'm afraid, most sites leave something to be desired and some operators don't even reply when contacted. But we do love the house bank investment model and believe the industry will mature. The game changer will be a trustless implementation on the blockchain via a smart contracts... or something.

Nice stats. I guess one ninja scam made your average go below 1.I really hope no dice sites just runs away with funds like that.

Thanks for all your comments it is very encouraging

Thanks for saying so, that is exactly what we were hoping. I first thought of doing it for myself on a spread sheet then I realized if that was useful for me it would be useful for others in the community so I decided to share it.

Nice topic idea.

Will you update this thread regularly?

At least every week

great stuff, really.

The lesson from dice ninja says that we should not touch them!

Anyway we are able to add new sites and 7 out of the 9 columns on the table will be just as relevant for comparison. Or we could group some new ones together and make a round 2, perhaps make each table last a year. Anyway we really tried to include every decent option there is so this is not an issue for as long as possible.

Did you interviewed the owner of these sites? How did you come up with thos information?

How many times the bank is turned over per year multiplied by the edge is the expected anal annual return.

Typo alert.

I invested small amount when profit was slightly above zero. Made around 37%, so similar to the OP. There were some crazy times when whales were playing.

Also made ~10% on DOGE investment, but not many people know that PRCDice accept it, so there are not many DOGE players.

VERY nice comparison table! Just one (small) thing... I am not sure I understand that final "score" column, is that related to the other numbers (seems not) or it's just about your general feeling on the sites?

It's not based on numbers but on their rating. Go to their website and click 'review score' to see how they rate it.


One thing I don't get. They say they've invested BTC1 in each, but in 'Bitcoin Casino' review score it says:

What we don’t like:
 Investment not open to all customers and ฿10 minimum. House bank and dice bets stats not available. Navigation is not as intuitive as other sites. Not much action.

We contacted all the sites and most have replied but we do not need to contact the sites for the information in the table, the sites publish the size of their banks and the amount bet and we track that over time to work out the bank turnover time.

Good catch, we got in just before win88 changed that policy.

Here is the weekly update as of 24th of October 2014

Most investments were steady except win88 which had it's 3rd stellar week and will go to top spot if it repeats that performance.

Our password manager and ourselves did not record our Ice Dice user ID, thinking we could log in with our user name and password. We could not, the user ID recovery function did not work and support did not help. Luckily the user ID is part of the referral URL that we did record so we got access to our account eventually but it was a negative experience that showed up the lacking in Ice Dice's system and support.

Maybe you should remove dice.ninja from the average computation, list it as dead or something.
