Hi everyone,
I am playing on satoshimines.com for quite some time and was actually able to gain couple of bitcoin out of it.
The game is simple, it's a mine sweeper, there are 1,3 or 5 mines hidden on a 5x5 board, you need to guess where they are. Each time you hit a "clean" square (one without a mine) your initial wager is multiplied, the more you guess right - the higher it's multiplied (up to x6720 on a 5 mines game).
My problem was that there is nowhere on the site a complete list of multipliers which can help develop a tactic.
So, I made one :)
My tactic on the site is very simple:
1. Bet exact amount to gain 2.5%, repeat 4 times (that will give you ~10% gain).
2. If you lose, bet the exact amount to recoup.
3. Once you've gained 10%, play for 1% on each round (that's ~8% on 3 Mines game). That way, even if you lose, you will still keep some of your winning.
4. Play slow, aim at a low gain each round, don't be tempted to play more than 3 squares per round.
I made up a simple calculator, my original calculator was based on node.js and used to pull the data directly from the site, but couple of months ago, the site added an anti-DDoS mechanism which blocked it (it now only work if I run it through TOR which is very very slow).
So I made a new one based on excel (and a lot of copying and pasting :) ). I also use automated Macro recorder for more complex methods and tactics.
You can check the odds and statistics table here:

I am now working on a screen capture of my method the serve as a proof it's actually works.
In the meantime I've decided to offer the original excel for sale, for just 0.01BTC, it's a simple spreadsheet that allow you to calculate the amount you should bet to get to a specific target, and keep track of your gain.
