Hello Steemit,
Today i would like to share my point of view regarding the usage of cryptocoins in a gaming environement, i will write a lot more about "Gambling" rather than e-sport or games ( steam ). Regarding cryptos, i mean by it, all the available crypto currencies or altcoins (AKA : LTC, DOGE, PPC, BLK, WAVE, LISK, ETH, ETHC ...).
First of all let's have a look at the available "gambling" projects who uses crypto currencies, you have :
- 999dice
- bitdice
- bitsler
- the bitsler's copy ( forgot the name)
- bitkong
- bitcasino
- And so on ...
You will notice that all of these websites looks at a sertain point " crapy ", it could be because of the display, the style, the fancy things, or even the "game" engine. Even websites like bitsler or bitkong looks crapy to me because of there is a not so secret system used inside, yes, there IS an algorithm who makes you loose, just try it and you will see.
The experience is the following :
- Set the engaged amount to the minimum.
- Set the winning odds to the max ( generaly 80% max ).
- If possible, keep in mind or write down the amount of looses/winnings.
- After 200 to 500 games you should see a "shema" who changes depending of the winning odds.
After trying this method ona lot of gambling websites, i noticed the following :
- If you win, then you are either damn lucky, or a hell good statistician.
- On 100 games with odds to 50% you will win 50-51 games %49-50
- If you have a closer look to the series, you will notice that you may win 10 or 15 times consecutively, until you reach a sertain amount, and then, it is the road to hell because you will have up to twice as much loosing series.
As of the crypto currencies usage, none of them use his own, except the Breakout coin ( the only one I know about) but the usage of a crypto in this kind of games must be explained even more. We know that the usage of a token who's value is lower then 1$ may looks great for people, but remeber that what ever value the token can have, it costed near 0 to the developper, except some time.
As a conclusion, i would highly advise you not to waste your money there, because even if these games because the provably fair system is just as useless as wasting time and money on such games.
Have a nice day, night, evening, or what ever.
