SatoshiDICE is about to hit 1,000,000 BTC paid out. You could be the one to do it!!

yey! it was me ! Tongue

there's one thing though.. I know *BIG* numbers are fun... but that bet I made to make it go to 1,000,000 was 16 BTC on the less than 64000 .. and i got in return 16.07... so I didnt win 16.07 btc.. I actualy won 0.07 btc .. it should in my opinion only count the profits (of course not count the losses lol that would put a negative number haha)

What if I bet 1 BTC on "lessthan 32k" and 1 BTC on "lessthan 64k" in the same transaction, and get lucky number 40000?

<32k returns 2 BTC, <64k returns 0. Did I win 1 BTC and lose 1 BTC? Or did I win 0 BTC? Either way, you were clearly paid out 2 BTC. It's just that you also paid IN 2 BTC.

There are several ways you can count the "pay out" amount. Using the way which gives the biggest number seems to make sense in terms of the PR it generates.

well even if the bets are in the same transaction they count as different bets... they just have the same lucky number..

personally I would count only the profit of won bets.. but not substract the lost bets of course!
