Wanna Bet?
Posted on: July 7, 2008, at 07:06:22pm

So... want something new and cool to use your credits on? Or, just happen to have a gambling addiction? Well, you can now wager your credits against other users.

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/gambling/ is currently subbie only, for testing purposes... so please attempt to exploit it. If you find any bugs/glitches, let me know. We're keeping logs on everything, so we'll know anyway.

How does it work? You can either place a bet, anywhere from 10-100,000 credits. Then if you do that, you wait until someone accepts it. Then one person randomly wins (50/50 odds). OR, if there is already a wager for the amount you want to bet, just accept the current one. Instant gratification.

The house takes a 1% cut.

  1. awesome
    1st

  2. Damn. I have a gambling addiction :(

  3. interesting. brb exploiting

  4. Best idea ever. :)

  5. nice

  6. if you want to place multiple bets at once, just keep hitting Submit on the Place Bet page each time it refreshes... you can then have 2 or 5 or 50 bets waiting for someone to accept at one time.

  7. one thing. what are we gambling on...

  8. All the excitement of gambling in my very own home! Now I don't have to go to Vegas! :D

  9. Sully: assume it's a coinflip. each participant has a 50% chance of winning.

  10. What happens if you bet (and lose) more than you have?

  11. I knew someone would ask that..

  12. Damn this is so cool! lol I lost 500. :( Gimme back!!! D: Still fun. xDDD lol

  13. this is awesome

  14. not really that much fun to tell you the truth.. it's an interesting idea though. something they can definitely build on.

  15. You can't lose more than you have... because when you place the bet your account is debited the amount you wagered... and you cannot accept a wager when you don't have sufficient credits.

  16. damn this is awesome i wanna bet it all but im scared O_o

  17. I've already made like 15k!

  18. It's cool how we have the ability to win/lose credits, but it's not like we're going to spend it on anything. (taking the assumption that everyone has all secret+purchased songs)
    Good idea, though.

  19. Haha, my first gamble was 50000 and I won. I'm not going to gamble again now.

  20. Damn I lost. T___T Kinda. Wait, what? I have 81k again... WTF? =D

  21. won my first time 10000 i think i will quit at with this success

  22. Credits Won: 240109
    Credits Lost: 176000
    Scary shit!

  23. well I lost some more and broke even

  24. maybe you could integrate history.php into the credit log somehow. that way it would all be in one place.

  25. Just won 98k and now I can't connect to FFRDOG to rejoice. =) =(

  26. hah, i have REALLY good bet for you Tass, and its not about credits :D

  27. Woot just one 15k. I love this thing XD

  28. won* wow....

  29. I lost all my credits in approximately 36 seconds. Woot.

  30. I think we'll add a top10 statistics page, with a bunch of stats for you addicts.

  31. and, we've already broken 1000 total bets made/accepted.

  32. lol i want to see all the bets in real time
    after DOG especially

  33. Okay well I attempted using a javascript injection to change the bet amounts to negative numbers or number not in the list. It said invalid bet amount, so good job. I also attempted using this Firefox plugin I have to change the POST values. I got the same result as the javascript. As far as that goes it's exploit-proof. Trying other things nao

  34. lost 10 in a row, 1/1024 chance. i have 3 credits left.

  35. oh, we can't bet 5M credits? *sigh*

  36. Oh well, easiest 150k credits ever gained.

  37. I'm addicted to this.

  38. Credits Won: 25630
    Credits Lost: 26220
    lolol

  41. good idea! i'll be a subscriber in a bit ;D

  42. Tass, this is going to destroy the credits for subby thread.

  43. I'm too afraid to gamble. . .

  44. Kay time to have fun and gamble all my credits away.
    GOGOGO.

  45. i LOVE this. I can't wait for stats on who the biggest losers/winners are.

  46. Good thing I don't have to wait =)

  47. I luv having a SUBBY <3

  48. Credits Won: 8170
    Credits Lost: 3430
    Lol, yay me.

  49. Almost 3000 bets placed so far. Juggling guy, you can check the top ten stats on that page.
    Cheers,
    Synthlight

  50. I lost my first four... I think I'm done :p

  51. I think this should be flash so that you can accept a bet instantly. or maybe i'm the only one getting "this wager has aready concluded" every other bet ;_;

  52. ^^ have to be fast

  53. I fucking love this idea! i love you guys!
    IM GONNA GAMBLE ALL NIGHT!!!

  54. SUGGESTION:
    You guys know at the bottom where it says
    Credits Won:
    Credits Lost:
    It should be like this:
    Credits Won:
    Credits Lost:
    Profit:
    Just to know how much you made

  55. Way to exploit my gambling addiction, Tass.
    It's an awesome idea.

  56. Now I think that this thing would be a lot cooler if it was a subby only feature. I mean if you play your cards right and whore it enough, basically anyone can get up to 1,000,000 credits in a matter of a few minutes =/ just doesn't seem very fair to me. I think it would be cool to have as a subby only feature, and would attract a lot of people to become a subby =)

  57. i love this thing so much
    <333333333333333333333333333333333

  58. Matrixdude.. 50% chance of winning and 1% goes to the house.
    Cheers,
    Synthlight

  59. 50/50 my ass, i lost just about all my credits

  60. haha my idea

  61. sweet, i won about 20k

  62. I love this. And what exactly is "The House"? What is this "House" you speak of?

  63. There should be a statistic somewhere of all the credits that got thrown to the ether, or to the house, whatever you want to call it.
    And I question the legality of this when people are trading credits for money like in emerald's thread.

  64. How does this bring up an issue with how people spend their credits? If they wanted to, they could just GIVE their credits to someone anyway. The fact that they were gambled doesn't change anything... only how the user came into possession of someone else's credits, which was always possible anyway.

  65. Can I be the house?

  66. P.S. I don't think FFR cares how donations are made... it's not like this is changing the worth of the actual dollar that arrives to them. Money is still being donated, whether credits were involved or not.

  67. no, you can not be the house. the house really isn't taking anything for themselves... it's like... taking some of your credits, then laughing at you as they're flushed down the toilet.
    and, if you question the 50/50 nature... for every time you lose, someone else wins. and, you'll see... if you play enough games, you go towards a 50% win percentage, just as the law of large numbers says you will.

  68. man can someone loan me some credits I just burnt 50K :P nice game guys <3

  69. you ruined my life D':

  70. Add link to subby sidebar plz.

  71. yeah plz

  72. My wife just left with the kids and the car. Least I have FFR Gambling ^_^ Seriously though someone needs to open the first bank of ffr. cause i need another fix.

  73. I have already lost 200,000. =(

  74. There's a glitch.. I keep losing.

  75. Haha~ my luck is so bad, take a look at my Wagers Taken :P

  76. The problem is, you originally bet a large number of credits, and then you don't have any left to bet large numbers on...so while you may have a 50/50 win/loss ratio, you can still be deep in the hole.

  77. no subbie link... this will be public tomorrow, and then there will be a normal link.

  78. Have a huge gambling addiction, im staying away from this as best I can, I'll loose everything otherwise lmfao.

  79. I seem to be losing twice as much as i'm winning.

  80. LOOL as soon as I said that I started winning.

  81. haha i love it. im scared to place high bets because it happens so fast if you win or lose XD

  98. thanks alot guys now im broke D:

  99. ive got 5 credits left. forcing me to play ffr just to place a bet -_-

  100. haha i went all the way up to 90,000 credits from 28,000
    then i just started losing
    down to 33,000
    staying there haha
    this game is evil and WILL steal your credits =P

  101. Lol. Credit Transaction problem! D:

  102. This is cool. Thanks Tass!

  103. went up to 3 million, then down to 500k

  104. oh, make this public.. its taking forever to get bets now.

  105. If I may, I suggest displaying the current user's win ratio on a page somewhere.
    eg. On the history or top ten page, it should say your win ratio on it, rather than only knowing if you get on the top 10.

  106. best this ever i started with 150,000 and got 250,000 then i went down to 26,000 and now im up to 230,000 i love this

  107. for everyone who didn't know. there is a way to make sure that you can have a higher increase in credits than decrease. ok it's like this... your first bet is a 50/50 percent so if you win then overall your chances of winning again are 25/75, because that would be your chancesof winning a 50/50 bet two times in a row. win again then your overall chances of winning become 12.5/87.5, and etc. so the person who has won 17 times the chances of that happening are .001525878906/99.99847412. so as you can see the chances are vary low to win 17 times in a row. yuck math. so to make sure you get a higher increase in credits bet low if you won two times in a row and if you loose two times in a row bet higher.
    note* there is still a risk in this, after all it's gambling. have fun =D

  108. wow won more times than i have lost

  109. lost my way all the way to -1,000,000. I am slowly earning back up though.
