Dooglus, great idea, great site.  I guess this is the inevitable result of watching S.Dice closely for a year, scratching your head, and finally going, well gee, if this made 70K BTC, I could do that...

I invested a couple BTC, and the 'house is up' number promptly went down!  I thought there was a 1% house edge!!
(I know, just kidding.  Investing is also gambling in a way, huh.  Just a bit surprising how quickly it dropped 4 BTC.  Someone got lucky... and it wasn't me.  Yet.)
(Then I started thinking, well it's up about 3% and it should only be up 1%, so I shouldn't invest until... no wait, that's just a fallacy in reverse... etc)

I wonder about the 0BTC bets.  I guess it's a cool advertising feature so that people can try it out before putting real BTC in, but what if you start getting thousands of 0-bets a second?  As an "investor" I'd like to know a little more about scaling / anti-DDOS stuff.  Also will the 1% of 1% be enough to fund the server?  And your time?  I hope so.

I'll probably just invest it, and don't particularly need the extra 0.01, but if you're still handing them out, can't really say no!
