I have you at a disadvantage, since I know for a fact that I *did* exactly what you are claiming nobody would do. I bet 16 BTC on the very first draw. See the post immediately above yours for (kinda rough, screenshot based) proof.


The pot has never been as low as $5. The early-bird bonus has never been less than 0.1 BTC. I know, because Just-Dice has sponsored it for that much every week after the first week thanks to a generous donation from cowbay, the winner of the first week's draw.

And it seems a little rude to say I'm not in my right mind. I got my money in good and was unlucky not to win. It was a +EV bet. You don't find those very often.


I don't think you understand. The total "satoshi" is known 30 seconds before you pick the transaction. That gives you 30 seconds to find a nice txid that will let you win. Then you pick a txid "at random". That isn't provably fair. How can you prove that you picked it at random as opposed to deliberately picking one that let you win? You can't.
