Have you changed the starting algoritm? A couple of times the game has started just when I randomly go to the page. Or am I just being lucky?

Hmm.. anyway you woud not need to start the game, if there are no players ;-) You could delay the start until someone refreshes the page.

Exactly correct, I do not send the initial bid until the reveal address is seen by a player.  So imagine the database is configured to start a game at 12:00:00 PM.  12:00:00 PM may come but if the address has not been revealed to anyone then the initial bid is not sent and the game therefore can not prematurely end.  I put this in place so that games wouldn't be started by the initial bid and then ended without anyone ever seeing the address.

This is a very good improvement, I think. This makes it worthwhile for occasional visitor to start the game. So just prepare your wallet (once I did not have my wallet ready..) , go to the page and gamble! Visiting the page is specially good now when there are not many players. And of course, when the amount of players increase, winning is not as easy as now, but the price will be higher :-).
