Topic: How about this for a winning run ($7600 made this evening) - page 4. (Read 11800 times)

I didn't gamble tonight but I was taking a close interest as there was some games on I was interested in - I watched the England game first, then the Scotland one.

I said to a friend man I was tempted to put 1000 ETH on England tonight.  As the game drew to a close I was like "wow I'm glad I didn't go and put that bet on at direc.... oh shit"    would have been a nice win at 1.8 odds, but was seconds away from being a massive loss. 

Then I said during the scotland game and right after the first red card, put money on another goal its basically free money at 1.5 odds.  Sure enough, there was more to come.

Oh well, I've sold 100% of my ETH and invested the money in Monero, right now that investment is up a bit and worth nearly $150k so the game continues

~snip~
can you share some blessing of yours ?

So, in case anyone is interested this is the conclusion to the story  
To begin with I had 87 BTC - this wasn't earned from gambling.  I converted them into Ethereum.  I then added £12,500 of Ethereum. Again not funded from gambling.

Just to pre-empt the inevitable... no I'm not going to share what my tactics were. If I want to go back to them I want them clean and fresh, not abused to the point the bookies price them in and I can't do it now.

You had better relax for some time to avoid bad luck days. When your luck comes back, you will win more again, +EV forever.

I said I may come back at some point but not right now.  I've got better things to do with my time than streaming 4am football games and adding to my stress levels/workload 

Definitely he will come back because that is how gambling works, gamblers does not have any contentment of their winnings and in no time I can assure your this guy will be whispered by his Allah to gambling again, I don't know if he is telling the truth or just playing about his allah thing.

Yes better to walk away from it while the getting is good still and you have survived with something to walk with.

No OP is not interested anymore into gambling because he has achieved his target with gambling, you can read his last post where he told about his journey and how big profit he made through this amazing way, op is the luckiest person and that is why he reached his target so quickly without any lose in gambling.

Definitely he will come back because that is how gambling works, gamblers does not have any contentment of their winnings and in no time I can assure your this guy will be whispered by his Allah to gambling again, I don't know if he is telling the truth or just playing about his allah thing.

I would like to see how much time this lucky guy can stay away from gambling. According to his statistics he made huge profit in such a short period of time. He will took wise decision of moving away with that profit. I am thinking he will come back again to play as easy money will not let him stay without trying to make much more.

So, in case anyone is interested this is the conclusion to the story  

To begin with I had 87 BTC - this wasn't earned from gambling.  I converted them into Ethereum.  I then added £12,500 of Ethereum. Again not funded from gambling.

Right now I have $121,638 in my Ethereum account.

87 BTC = $500 or each each at the time = $43,500

£12,500 added = $16,409

total profit from gambling = $61,729

numbers are obviously not 100% as I'm approximating between currencies and the price of the BTC.  I've easily cleared $50k in gambling profit.  Yes I could have had a bit more if I quit at the peak... probably over $30k more   But hind sight is always 20/20.... loads of people told me to quit at 5k, 10k, 15k profit etc.  I didn't listen to them then, and I didn't listen when they said it again at 30k.  Now they're "right".... but a broken clock is right twice a day too  

Right now all my ETH have been transferred to cold storage, I can no longer access them without significant effort.  Purely from a security point of view that makes sense (I have zero interest in spending or cashing them in, they are a long term investment).  But I'm not gonna lie... having them removed from the "I've had 4 beers and this bet looks a decent one" is probably a good thing too  

I'm not saying I won't gamble again but for the time being I'm finished with it.  There is no fun in being awake at 4am chasing some south american game  I think I was pushing too hard with taking bets I shouldn't have... in part victim of my own success and thinking I could get away with varying from what was (and is) is a working system.  But it was hugely time consuming (having to watch loads of live football) and I have better things I could do with that time.  I have a reasonably well paying job and I am working on setting up a dog sanctuary... I don't have the interest in watching 270 minutes+ of football a day, in what is a high stress environment (try keeping your cool when working out whether to place bets worth $10k+ or not and report back if you think its easy   )

Good luck to everyone else who is going to gamble.  I probably won't be back on the forum very much but if anyone has the need you can pm me and I'll get an email notification. Just to pre-empt the inevitable... no I'm not going to share what my tactics were. If I want to go back to them I want them clean and fresh, not abused to the point the bookies price them in and I can't do it now.

cheers,

Trust me on this, as a recreational gambler this is the best decision you have made. Just save all the money and enjoy with it. Don't get back to gambling it again unless someone tickles you again.
