154 sats \ 4 replies \ @npub1zapsats 8 May \ on: Roulette in a Bitcoin Payment Channel - Robin Linus bitcoin bitdevs

I have used lightning-roulette.com a fair few times, that is supposedly provably fair but there are a few 'cautions' to be aware of...

  • it doesn't work in all countries so a vpn is needed
  • it says you can link account to twitter but I've never been able to
  • the funds are in the browser so if the history is wiped I guess so are your sats

Would be interested to see this new iteration of roulette on Bitcoin although I hardly gamble because the house has to win, so it's a foolish errand to try and play to profit 📈

They say it's "provably fair" and yet they can easily precompute the results and with this insider knowledge can take your sats. Just be aware.

Agree, a day at the horses with a few food and drinks, have a flutter on the GGs and if you win it's a bonus!

trying to beat an algorithm is financial suicide

Full disclosure: I've let my ego think I can beat the house a few times and always lost 🙄

Linus just proposed the concept, so I don't think anyone has built a working version of it yet.

I haven't used lightning-roulette.com (mostly because I don't want to part with my sats).

Good call! I mostly use the Martingale technique double up etc but I've come v. Close to losing

I also dream up new methods thinking I can outsmart the house 🤣🤣
