Topic: How about this for a winning run ($7600 made this evening) - page 5. (Read 11800 times)

interesting story ,
so the reason you bet using eth are for long term investment right?
a risky way to increase your investment capital , but you did it very well finally ,
a happy ending so far , and what a good money management , goodluck to you and see you soon

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,
Lee & Allah  

Yeah its just yet another person not reading the thread before replying 

I was getting too carried away with the bets I was placing, I suppose with hindsight this was me becoming a victim of my own success.  I was moving away from what my original successful tactics were, and placing riskier and riskier bets.

I don't really want to disclose exactly what my original tactics were, as I might go back to using them at some point. But for now I'm done, I've got too much online work to be on with instead of being up at 4am watching some random south american football game

I'm going to still bet, but only on the bigger games that I would have watched anyway.

Where do you read 123K eth ? He say its 10,000 ETH which is equivalent to about 110,000 USD.

Is your balance all profit? Or this 123k eth are all earned from sports betting?  123k eth is worth 2400 btc, wtf...    Actually you are so rich, you don't need to gamble any more.

The addiction part gives me a mixed feeling about it all. Because sure it feels good that someone beat the system, but at the same time we should wonder how long it will last.
OP did great on the strike, but how long will it last and how bad will it fall down when you play over confident?

You can't win them all   

I'm up a significant amount, lost a few big bets recently. 

I just transferred 10,000 Ether to cold storage and will play about with the rest. Not going to have much time for gambling in the coming weeks as I have some big offline jobs on.

Ouch, that must suck, I've had that happen too a few years ago, not with those kind of numbers, but still enough to make it sting.
You really play with addiction at that point, was the same for me....

If you follow his Eth address you can see his bets.  He was over 150k worth of eth a couple of days ago and now he is at about 123k.

I don't see them, i just see one bet lost 1k eth, and others were winnings. He is still the gamble whale

He might be getting discouraged somewhat.  Has had a big losing streak the last 5 days or so.  Down almost 30k from lost bets.

Quick question here on this tipster:

Does he only post his big wins and small losses but not his big loses?
That would kind of even out of what he won and what he has lost.

Just checking in to see what the legendary rampagejackson has been up to

Another few wins for him, I haven't checked in with him for a while, I want to see some more massive wins. Come back RJ.

yeah, i never manage to win anything good with bitcoin gambling, hopefully it will change in the future

I saw his bet where he lost 1000 ETH is a bet but he remained lucky and quickly he recovered his loss in next bets. I think he should understand that he can not win always every bet and should be happy with money what he made already. It is possible he may took lesson and will not play anymore as he is not posting anymore.

I hope he post them more often, so that we can win with him, let us hear his Allah's words, lol, although I believe Jesus Christ!

I think the OP is not posting his picks anymore, I do not know if Allah still whispers him the right bet or Allah is tired of him. LOL, just kidding. Seriously, where are you OP I am waiting for your bets to be posted.

Wow your so lucky in that day.I cant win like that big amount in one day.But for now I wish Im win I try to research something about my bet team if they win or lose.By the way Congratulations.

nice, i wish i was so lucky, to be honest i watch a lot of sports though i dont win anything if i bet on them, thats why i quit it

thats a decent bet to be honest and a nice win, congratulations with it, i never manage to make any good money out of betting
