Topic: Attempting to turn 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC - page 3. (Read 788 times)

I was feeling very good after the 3rd goal to be honest, but they couldn't get me the 4th goal I needed. With that being said, I am trying again. I redeposited 0.05 BTC so hopefully we can win this bet and get back on track! This will be my last try, so hopefully it wins!

Hi everyone, due to my first 2 bets being bad beats, I've decided to redeposit 0.05 BTC, this will be my last try.

Bet #3: FC Tulsa - Pittsburgh | Over 2.5 | 0.05 BTC returns 0.0945 BTC

Yeah, because gambling is a highly risky activity but I think he is only trying his luck here and it is seems fine for him if he can't go to a med school, just in case he got a bad luck. Besides, he already said that the money is not enough but if it is, I don't think he will prioritized gambling for something that is more beneficial in his future.

Even though it's true that OP is making a huge bet for this kind of challenge but rest only assure that the capital that he uses is still within his means. I've seen many challenges like this but they are doing it well. That may be because they have more experience than the OP? The guy can still learn though.

It must not be easy or cheap to pay for a medicine course. It's usually the most expensive of the educational areas available in the market, doesn't matter what country you are from. However, I must say it's not through gambling that you are going to make your dream come true... At least, since it's all about probabilities in gambling, there is a major chance you aren't going to fulfill your dream this way. So, why not put this money you are risking into good use?

If things don't look favourable for you in the present moment, use the money to educate yourself in another professional career. Find feasible alternatives which can proportinate you a good and promising future, and once you reach there, who knows, maybe you can finally start a medicine course without having to risk all your funds gambling, without any assurance it's going to revert any good for you.

Gambling is for entertainment, and not for students willing to pay their school's fees...

His last login date is the same time he made his last post for the second bet. I doubt that he will be coming back for more since he is saving for his meds school yet he might ended up working on McDonalds full time if he keeps doing this kind of high risk gambling using the funds for his study.

Worst case scenario is when he took a loan and gamble again in hopes to recover funds and at the same time reach the target profit. I’m surprised that have the luxury to gamble this funds while he is badly in need money for his future.

When they know that they already failed, they must not repeats the same thing instead checking what they did before so they knows how to fix the mistakes. They must thinks that making money from gambling is difficult and not many people can do that so they must not playing gambling aggressively. Even if they can wins some money, they must take a break to calm down their minds that still wants to chase the bigger wins. But it's normal if gamblers always thinks to make more winning or chase the bigger wins because human will wants to have more than they already gets.

If they still wants to chase the bigger wins, we can only suggest them to calm down for a while and not tempts to keeps playing gambling. A wise gamblers must knows when he must stops and take a break because gambling can takes the position for his money while he doesn't realizes. If he already wins, he must knows when he must stops and not keeps playing gambling so he can take a rest after playing gambling.

At least, he can make money from his job and can use that money for anything he wants. He can use that money to invest in Bitcoin and hopes that when he pays his study, the Bitcoin price can increase so he can make a profit from that. But if not, he can pays his study from the money he got from his job. I think he can make money from doing something and that's not from gambling because it's difficult for someone to make money from gambling. He must realizes that before he regrets and use all of his money to playing gambling. We can only suggests him not doing something that can makes his lives ruin. But the rest will be up to them and we can't force him to follows what we suggests. Hopefully, he can wins many times so he can gets much money and can pays his study.

Fees in most medical schools are always expensive but i don't think this is the best way for op to raise fund because gambling is very risky,  and if he is thinking on winning the game he should also think about what if he lose the game. Gambling is better when you play and not having any reason why you are playing so that if eventually you lose it won't be a painful lose.
This is very risky, gambling is unpredicted. I believe the amount of money that he wants to use to play bet is not the amount he can afford to lose. I don't expect people to depend in gambling to solve critical issues. If I were him I will look for an alternative how to get money to complete the fee other than depending in gambling.

I was astounded when I saw that the OP bet the other half of his money, something that everyone advised him not to do, and my first thought was to check how the match ended. I'm sorry for his loss, but the OP proceeded to not listen to anyone's advice. It was reckless to lose 0.05 BTC in just two bets, and it's a huge shame to lose such a large sum of money. Hopefully, he learned his lesson, and he'll be more careful from now on. I'm curious whether or not he'll find more money to deposit in order to gamble.

If you want money for something important I don't think that puting your money on gamble is the right way to make it work. Gamble is not a place that you bet and have a free mind that you are going to win, it's a game that is won by luck, and guest what, you must be lucky to be able to win a bet, no doubt that if you bet with this amount of BTC you won't be able to win but I am not wishing that. Don't bet because you want to make money, for you to win, you have to remove your mind on winning because most times you keep your mind on winning you might not win.

Unfortunately, the game ended with 2:1. After that goal in 64 min. there were no more goals and this bet was lost. I was rooting for the OP to win this second bet, but it didn't come to that. Maybe it's too late to talk about what he could have done better, he tried and failed... but he should definitely study some tips from this thread if he wants to try again.

So Savingformedschool do you plan to try again?

It’ll also be dumb if he wants to do a job so that when he is paid, he buys Bitcoin and hopes for the price to rice. I think that the best thing to do is to save his way up there. While holding Bitcoin, there could be some gains but it’s definitely not enough (unless he wants to pay for the fees in many years to come).

It is with 3 goals in the 64 minutes so hopefully you will get this first bet to get you a boost or as I would say to give you like 2 more free tries with the same bet as I would definitely not suggest to increase the bet amount after every win,depending on your budget you can do so if you lose but don't do it if you win.I have seen people ruined by odds of 1.3 or something along those lines and that would be catastrophic if you happen to lose it all from that bet,I am not a big fan of trying to get money needed through gambling yet I want to cheer you up and hopefully you can achieve the med school money and if you don't at least to get a nice part of it,something like 0.30 to 0.50 Bitcoin so you can pay a part of them through this challenge.

Hey mate!
This is actually a bit crazy to say, couple with what requested and again saying you can afford to lose that 0.05 btc it is like trying to say that you have sufficiently enough to foot the bill but you are just trying to fool around here to keep discussing with you. To me there is no need for this topic if you think 0.05 seems pretty too poor for you to lose why don't you clear you tuition fees without having to gamble to increase your btc to 1.7btc knowing to well how gambling works.
And besides there is every possibility to easily sweep off your account since you are placing too high stakes, 0.025 for just a single game, why not go lower like 0.0009BTC to win 0.0015, with this strategies it could difficult to easily empty your account just like that.

You're going to need a lot of luck to be able to hit your goal.

I'm not a gambler, and not a fan of gambling but here's my opinion. You need a lot of research when it comes to sports betting, also make sure that it's not a fixed match, or you'll lose all your funds while shattering your hope in the process. I'd rather invest it somewhere else if I were you, or just hodl that bitcoin and wait for a solid bull run cycle this year.

This is not the first time I see someone starts an achievement here in gambling. To bad all previous achievements were never fulfilled and OP always either lose everything and abandon topic, or simply abandon it.

I see OPs attempt as impossible to fulfil, especially if he continues to make such large bets (half of his deposit). Either it will take way to long and OP will find another way to achieve those 1.7 BTC, or one mistake will end his marathon. Besides, OP has chosen a wrong way to achieve his financial goal. Gambling is not a money making instrument.

I can turn this 3k into 30k in few months investing in new start up projects, the last ones I invested gave me 10 to 30 times my money and I took many profits to buy back more Bitcoin, many people are scared of this strategy butbut it has never failed me.

It would have been different if gambling is your thing but with the way you ask this question it feels like you are just starting, and this amount isn't a good one to start with, even if you can afford to lose it I feel you need to feel how gambling really is, this is why I recommend using small amount first.

It is all about try and see, and also, Bitcoin is gold, this amount you have now is a lot in a few more months, you will see, why not keep your digital gold and use something else to gamble? I would rather keep my Bitcoin than use them to gamble.

I prefer using Dogecoin or Tron coin for gambling, Bitcoin satoshis are too rare this days to be wasting through gambling.

it seems that your betting journey is not going as you planned, because now you have lost half of the bankroll you had set. i admit that this is a very risky gamble, because you need 34x to achieve your goal, which is very difficult to realize. if i were you, maybe i would think twice about gambling that much money, because it is more realistic for me to open a business with that kind of money. however, i am sure that you have thought about the risks of this bet and are ready for all the possibilities, and i hope that you can get positive results.

Seems that your plan is not having a good start as you have lost 50% of your starting bankroll. I think you have a wrong strategy by placing 50% of your bankroll in your first bet. Of course it is your own right to do everything with your money, but I think you should have a better plan/strategy. At least you need to have a better calculation on how many bets you are going to have to reach your goal. Now you have 50% left, not sure what will you do but I guess you'll do bet it all in single bet with bigger odds than your first bet.

I wouldn't go ahead and mention what he could have done differently with the money—his money, his choice. However, since he's posting on a public forum, everyone is free to voice their own opinion, whether we like it or not, gambling is not an ideal method of investment. I'm only stating that he took an unnecessary risk by betting half of his bankroll already. He's motivated, at least; I'll give him that. I don't think the OP's goal is to accumulate tips; he's a newbie, and it's unlikely anyone is going to tip him these days.
