If someone places a bet on your spot, then they now occupy it. If you want to re-occupy it, then you simply bet again. Whoever occupies a spot while a block gets mined for that specific minute will win the pot.

I'd likely play again if their payouts would work. I clearly won a block and they posted the proof on nostr, but never sent me the payout for block [936292](https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq2025grqrktcm44y3vxeuc5f7sr9f8904ayddc0ulmf84jwrdyyqqy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qqsquvl538meddecs6ylkwep40lvjr7y0quzgzgks2mg92m4064pn8cvngy4h). Wonder how many other players had a similar and bad experience with their  website's error handling and no response from support...

I felt cheated that someone was able to take my spot. I guess it's similar to TX getting into a Bitcoin block.... I'm done with it but if it's understood that it's like that and you still want to play go ahead.

That's by design. If an opponent (another player) bets on the same minute, then they are now occupying that field and win if a block gets mined for that specific minute. The more opponents try to occupy a field, the higher the bets are for each player to keep occupying a specific minute.
