Multiplayer roulette ready

[RouletteGhost]

1280 x 960 it works perfectly fine now.
I'll have to change my resolution before playing and then change it back I suppose.
The page doesn't adjust to a users screen resolution I suppose.

its funny with size

if you make screen smaller buttons migrate and you cannt play

Exactly. Strange.
Most pages can adjust to various resolutions

[TurboGenius]

And I see that the win-rate column is what matters.
I'm not interested if someone made 30k but used 1/2 million $ in bets to get there lol.
I took my 1k and made it into 4k and have the 3rd best win-rate so I'm happy for tonight.

We can make the page layout "responsive" so it better adjusts to screen sizes. But it should wrap fine for 1200 pixel screens and above. So there may be a problem on phones and small devices. I'll discuss it with the programmer soon

[psimoes]

Well I´m hitting the lowest lows now. Seeing that my hitrate was once 130.000,  and got my account reset after that by request and it is now 100.000 negative, I guess I´m about to break even.

Now for a bit of twisted logic: If Roulette has no memory, why am I losing? 

[TurboGenius]

A few things...

(As I play and grow my bankroll and my 'winrate' and move up the chart)

Can someone explain to me how we're "ranked". If it is strictly by bankroll balance, I'm not sure that's accurate.
If I were to keep resetting my bankroll and paying the highest bets that I can - couldn't someone be in first eventually
(even though their winrate would be terrible... or their "amount bet" column would be incredibly high...?)

A) How is the winrate column worked out ? This may have already been asked.
But I'm a bit confused.
For example, at this moment I am at +$4,937.00 and have only placed $8,822.00 in bets / my 'winrate' says 3.3937.
KTFP for example is at +$12,072.00 (so roughly 3x my bankroll) and has bet $110,943.00 to get there - winrate of 6.972
I'm just not sure how the "math" works out on this, or how it's calculated.
The player below me in 7th has $1,000.00 less than me in bankroll and has bet 3x what I have to get there - yet we have almost identical 'winrate's in that column (as I type this). Something doesn't seem right does it ?
Maybe I'm too used to RX and how it's "summary" window is displayed.

B) Shouldn't the 'rank' be sorted then by using both the bankroll and the winrate ? If someone can reset and then hit a streak and end up in #1 even though they went through thousands and thousands in reset bankrolls or massive $ in bets placed to get there - where others are playing realistically and working their way up as we would in a casino.

C) minor - could there be a display perhaps under the "Current Users Online" that shows how many players there are overall ?
I don't mind being 6th out of 20 right now - but it is 6th out of 45 ? 59 ? 100 ? I think a number showing the total number of players would be nice. (maybe that's just some ego thing with me, I'm too competitive lol)
Also minor - I've seen times after a 'rebet' that I can't remove chips from the table - sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.
Seems odd.

D) When someone leaves the page - are they considered no longer playing or is there some 'inactivity timeout' that logs them from the game ? I only ask because it seems like at times there are 4 or 5 people listed, yet it seems like I'm the only one playing. (this makes the "ready" button worthless if it's waiting for someone to click it and they've already left the page 2 spins ago (for example).
If people "are" logged in and playing, but not using the 'ready' button when they are done placing chips - it also makes the button useless. I can only suggest again to people "click the ready button when your done" - or else we all sit and wait for the countdown when it isn't needed. Just a suggestion.

Ok, that's it for now - back to the game. I don't plan to stop until I'm #1 - grins
There may not be a prize but I have a goal now lol.
Cheers

On a side not - a little while ago had 1 1 1 appear - then came back and now had 0 0 0
and damn - look at those 27s !!!  Amazing. Gotta love random.

TG, for now the players with highest bankroll are at the top. It doesnt mean they are "winning". The original specifications to the programmer were for the players with the highest win rate to be at the top. But even this wouldnt tell the whole story because the player may have just wagered $1 and won. So yes a better ranking algorithm is needed. For now we can see manually.

The win rate is based on amount won / amount lost. But I havent had time to check it's correct. I get the feeling its not correct, but for now i'm relying on the fact that everyone is subject to the same algorithms. It is a community game so we can all have input and make it however we want. Anyone can contribute ideas. Perhaps try just calculating (amount bet)/(amount won)

You can see up to 100 players on the leaderboard at :.rouletteplayers.org/leaderboard

When I promote the game it will have a lot more players, so 100 wont be enough. But again it is early days for the game. At least the important part is up and running to enjoy.

I'm not sure about the rebet issue you mentioned. Please let me know more detail if it persists.

The server has constant connection to the player's pc. As soon as they close their browser, that connection is cut. If someone comes online after you, you will see their name appear. But their name will remain if you stay logged on while they log off. BUT the server still knows who's really online. And if the people who are really online have checked the box, then the next spin proceeds. If you want to see an updated list of who's really online, just refresh your page. the worst that can happen is you end up chatting someone who's not really there. But again it wont affect the check box.

Nods.
Perhaps using a percentage and not how it's done now would make more sense statistically.
I'm not 100% familiar with how RX calculates the "summary" window - but the "units placed" section seems to have the most relevant info as far as this game and ranking people.
(Net %)
But it would also have to account for bankroll resets - laughs.
I'm thinking it's a competition when it's a fun site to play roulette on... grrr lol.

This exact same sequence just ran a week ago! Someone even commented on chat board. Before that the zero hit five times in less than 37 spins, right? The numbers are running on a loop...

[Steve]

Thanks I need to check that. There are so many numbers that they would not be looping for a very long time. Maybe something happened that reset the sequence back to the beginning. I'll discuss it with the programmer.

[psimoes]

IDK, even isourced from real live spins, if those numbers are looping they´re not random anymore. Doesn´t matter how long it takes for them to repeat. That and a few other sequences will be recognizable, so players will take advantage of it, falsifying the data. Personally I´d rather play against RNG or a live connection to the Random.org server.
