Hmm, I'm not sure, what are the odds of it scamming you? It needs to be > 75% to be acceptable IMO, otherwise it's just injecting fake GP into the game

Was also planning on adding dicing bots down the line that do 60x2, maybe with a small chance to scam

Some more mechanics/info -

* The Gambler's Ruin is a rather obvious statistics concept that shows over time, regardless of how much people bet, these bots will remove money from the eco: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_ruin
* The closer we bring the odds to >50%, the more people will use it, the more money gets removed from the eco
* The bots only have 1m in inventory, so there's no risk of someone dropping 60m and having a 30% chance to trash the eco

Would be cool to have some bots that try to teach people about the martingale betting system, so that the experience of learning why it doesn't work is preserved.

Candidate dialogue:

Code: Select all

[
"Hey @player, I've heard of a great way to always make money gambling",
"Start small, and then double your bet every round you lose",
"And return to the smallest bet after each win",
"If you win, you make back all the previous losses",
"So as long as you can keep gambling, you can always double your starting bet."
]
Mainly requires that the dialogue bots be able to do multi-line strings of dialogue with a gap between them when a multi-line dialogue is selected.
