OK guys, 7 days left ONLY (or maximum 45 BTC). You never know when that is going to be filled up, so hurry up and don't miss this chance!

This is a very good investment possibility please read the details at: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000.

If the system will have 1.000 members then for every bitcoin you invest you will receive 7.2 BTC EVERY single year. Quite nice, right? If you invest 45 BTC, then with 1.000 members you'll get 324 BTC/year. And who told that a system like this will only have 1.000 members? What if it will have 10.000? Oh yes, then for 45 BTC (the maximum remaining so far), you will get 3240 BTC every year.

Of course things might go worse also... might not make that many members, but I am very much confident that this one is going to work amazing. However, let's make a calculus what happens if the system will have only 100 members (as in one hundred): then you will receive for every bitcoin you invest 0.72 BTC every year. Still not bad, is it?

It seems that we are hovering around the 470-500 mark for a while. I think that this is not bad for bitcoin, even if the value is a little bit less (I am sure by the way that it will rise in time, have no worries about it).

However, for the moment, having an almost stable value makes it usable as a "currency".

You are not loosing. You are buying a 0.05 BTC service for 0.02 (also please remember the calculus is made with 1.000 members, it can be less or a lot a more).

But of course nobody stops you to invest more, and then you get a large share. Investing minimum 5 BTC means that you get lifetime free account, plus 3 BTC/month (again, with 1000 members, but if the site kicks off, and there'll be 10.000 then you will make 30 BTC/month).

At this point the maximum possible investment is 45 BTC.

I know what you say. This is why (it's also written in the doc), when the site is ready members can sign up also with paying with USD (traditional payment methods).

As far as what I intend to do after the development process is finished, here's a quick summary (beside these of course the site will be SEO optimized, but with today's Google algrorythm being so unpredictable there is no guarantee regarding to good rankings for top keywords):

- viral marketing (FB, Twitter, etc); people will be able to share, like, tweet (or the system will share, like, tweet automatically instead of them, if they will choose to login for example via FB, or they accept this)
- Youtube videos: it is a strong way to build up confidence because you can showcase in short videos successes, every days prediction success ratio, funny videos about it, etc.
- Using forums, like bitcointalk for example, and marketing there the existence of this website; but also on more specialized forums, related to sports and sports betting
- Affiliate/Tell a friend systems of course, which will help spreading the word (or other type of reward systems)
- building an email list (and thinking on other email marketing campaigns, like partnering up with existing lists and offering affiliate programs, etc.; have some connections in this field as I have been involved in creating lots of gambling related websites)

It's not a final plan, nor perfect, but it's a start for what I intend to do to make this system popular.

I don't know if it is the easiest or no, but I think it is a very serious way to make more BTC: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000

If the site will have 1.000 members in time, then whatever amount you invest you will get 720% interest every single year. This means that if you invest 5 BTC then you will make 36 BTC every year, if you invest 45 BTC (the maximum) then you will make 324 BTC every year (and this is with 1.000 paying members, but it can be 10.000 or more).

Just to confirm: obviously membership will be only from the moment when the site is up and running, not before.

At this moment I am collecting the necessary funds to make the site up and running, so now it is the investment period. This period will be closed at the moment when 50 BTC will be collected, so if you don't want to miss this opportunity, then time is now. People who invest now will get a share of the revenue the websites generate, and trust me, that can  add up to huge amounts.

45 BTC left to invest. To give an example: if somebody would invest 45 BTC at once now, then he would get 90% of the 60% of sales. This means that if there'll be 1.000 members at a given time, paying 0.05 BTC/month each, the person who invested 45 BTC will get 27 BTC EVERY SINGLE MONTH (that's 324 BTC/year with 45 invested).

I am sorry, but clearly you don't understand what I am trying to achieve here. Please read again what I wrote.

Never told that I will not bet AFTER the system is ready. Trust me, I'll be the first to use it ) and it is a very good reason also why I want to see this system ready.

Now, to explain this again. You are saying that: "If you have a system that will spit out a smart bet for every game and/or submarket"... the point is, and this is what I have been explaining, that in most of the cases it will be impossible to make a clear prediction. So without an automated system, I should start taking for example the soccer games one by one, go trough all the stats I have mentioned and more (which is at least 30-60 minutes manually for a game), and try to make a prediction, just to end up realizing that it's not possible for this specific event. Then I should take the next one, and the next one and so on. And that's only looking at the surface, at the 1X2 game.

You need an automated filter, which will select for you the events whereby information and facts can give you a better prediction probability. Otherwise for example, on a normal day, when there are like 50 to 100 soccer games, how do you select those which are OK, when you need to spend at least 30 minutes with one doing the job manually? You see the problem?  
So what bettors do: because they can't select manually they go for their instinct, trying to combine more events into one ticket, to get a bigger possible win, because most of them are not willing to risk large amount of money on a single event, without a good research or knowledge about it. And that takes incredible amount of time.

The system I intend to build will serve you (and me, and anyone else) a list with the events you should focus on if you don't want o gamble with prediction suggestions, and explanation why it served this prediction. And it will be lightning fast, you don't have to spend all day trying to research a few events from the thousands of events every day (because there are literally thousands: usually one soccer game has at least 10-15 sub - markets too, so make the calculus).

Without this system I can't bet either the way I described, a smart betting way based on replacing the luck factor as much as possible with cruel facts, and data.

Maybe now you start to really really consider replacing the project on the index page with mine, and start marketing the best you can this project. I am doing my part too, spreading word on the forum, I even opened a new thread for this one.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768544.0

However, I am sure that you have already more channels established, FB, or other viral marketing solutions, etc. After all it's the interest of both of us!

Things have started rolling on bitcoinstarter.com.

My project, https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000, collected already 5 BTC out of 50. 45 BTC more to go, for anyone who want to invest in this project and of course get the benefits of it.

Oh, and one more thing: it's not true that I don't risk anything, because even if I don't have the 25k to make this happen, I risk a lot of "collateral" things:

- first, if I start this project I will not be able to work on anything else until it's completed and probably after the development part is ready, most of my time will be consumed by marketing and improvments; this means that I can not take on board other jobs (and being a very good web programmer I am making nice money)
- secondly, it's my reputation: as you can see I don't try to hide at all, giving out all my contact details; if I would hate something more than anything is to fail delivering what I agree with someone
- thirdly: don't forget that this money doesn't go in my pocket. I hope you realize that a project of this magnitude has huge development costs (actually, I already received from other signals that how is possible to make it so cheap, as this is really a megaproject)
- last, but not least: I only asked money for the first part of the project, because I will sustain the second step from my own efforts (marketing, and please don't underestimate that part either, even if it's far from the development costs)

I am sorry that you read only part of my answer... it's not only about money, it's about time too. Making an analysis is very complex and time consuming effort and there is no guarantee that the event you start with can have a prediction or no, so you might be loosing an entire hour for nothing, and so on.

Just to make you understand the complexity of what I am trying to achieve here take as example a simple  1, X or 2 prediction for a soccer game and how analysis would happen, what it would be based on. I really really don't want to share all my thoughts in public, but I will share this one, so you see how complex it is what I want to build, and why doesn't work like you think: trying to figure out things manually and bet on them

So let me give you an example for a soccer game: Team A vs. Team B. The next details are going to take part of the analysis when we want to decide whether it's gonna be 1, X or 2 (usually this is reduced to 1 or 2 either with 1X or 2X, either by betting on W1, or W2, meaning win A or B, but if draw then the odds will be considered 1, and money will be returned; usually betting on X will never happen).

Now, about the factors:
- A and B recent form: this means that we will analyze what have they done in the last 5-10 matches they had. It is not going to be a simple won, draw or loss statistics, but will assign points also based on the teams they have played with. So for example, if team A have won the last match, but team A is #2 in the standings and just beat #15 in the standings, might get smaller amount of points for this as team B  who is number #5 in the standings and made a draw with #1. Of course this is just as example, what you need to remember from it, that first factor is the RECENT FORM.
- second factor will be actually the standings: is there a big difference between the two teams? Is A lot better ranked as B? Not only in absolute positions, but also in the number of points (wins, losses and draws) they have made
- third factor will be to analyze the form of each team (A and B) when playing HOME (for A) and playing AWAY (for B)
- fourth factor will be to analyze how the possible outcome will influence the standings. For example if team A is at position number #3, with 10 points behind number #2 (and assuming that the first two teams in the standings are going further, or qualifying to some international competition or whatever), then of course it will weight a lot in their dedication if they will play with a stake or without. Same is true for example when a team is in danger to fall out from a competition, or to loose it's ranking which ensures a higher level. Middfield of the standings will be not so competitive.
- Fifth factor is going to analyze their attack and defense. How many goals they have given, when and how many they have got (of course if a team has a strong attack and nothing changed in the team construction - which is another factor, I will not write it separately), and the other team has a weak defense then it is a good indication of what might happen
- sixth factor: cross analysis, meaning that the system will trace if in the recent past had team A and team B the same team C, D, ... as adversary. If so, then a comparison will be made with what team A and team B managed to make against team C, D... because that is also a good indicator.

There are more things to play a role and of course I just described them really really briefly. Things in back end will be of course a lot more complex, but I hope I managed to give you an idea of how subjectivity can be replaced at least in a big part by information, analysis, etc. Also, I really hope that you see that this is something impossible to make manually, it's just too much work. Especially, that there will be numerous occasions when all this parameters will lead you nowhere, and there will be no clear prediction possibly made.

One more thing: the system when we are talking about a soccer game between A and B it's not going to analyze only whether it can be 1, X or 2. It will analyze for example how many goals are expected to be (not exactly, but in the sense 1 or more, 2 or more, etc), how many faults, corners, etc. (Of course for all these different factors will be applied, so each market will have lots of sub-markets, and for each sub-market there will be totally different formulas).
So far I can tell you that the way I see it won't be rare that the system can't give a prediction for 1, X, 2, but will be able to give for a sub market or vice-versa.
 

First 5 BTC just arrived to bitcoinstarter: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000, so this project starts to lift off.

Thanks a lot SebastianJu, you are the first investor into this system. I am sure that you (neither the investors who will follow), will not be disappointed.

There are 45 BTC left to collect, after that happens investment period is closed, and this boat is gone forever.

What? I really don't get what you mean, sorry.

I am not going to develop for every sport. I stated that I will focus on soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, baseball and tennis for the starters. I have chosen these because I can access comprehensive stats for these sports, and with those I can work out great predictions (as explained in the other reply, the system will not give a prediction for every event, it will rather pick some events whereby the predictions based on the facts have higher probabilities, and will skip the other events).

To answer your edit as well: it doesn't matter how great predictions you have if you don't want to gamble everything you have (which is not my case definitely, I have family and responsibilities). With the amount I could afford to loose now (as anyone should only gamble with that) it would take forever. Another problem is that I have to build this system to make it automated, otherwise I am forced to make it manually as well, which can not lead to results under no circumstances. It means too much time spent, with little bankroll, means it simply doesn't worth the effort.

On the other hand, from a business perspective: if I charge 0.05 BTC (or equivalent in USD) from every member, then at 1.000 members I have 1.000 x 0.05 = 50 BTC and as I am giving back to the investors 60% of it, I will still remain with 20 BTC every single month. If the system will become popular (which I am absolutely sure it will become very very popular), and it will have 10.000 members in time, that would be 200 BTC for me every single month passive income. I think it really worth the trouble, don't you?

SebastianJu, I think you really really overrate sports betting websites and establishing the betting odds are a lot more subjective as you might think.

The betting odds established at websites are based on most of the times on Betfair's betting odds. If you don't believe me, then just have a look, try with any sports from soccer to horse racing, and you will see that the moment the betting odds are getting smaller on betfair, within minutes websites will adjust their odds too, and when odds getting higher on Betfair they raise their own odds too. You can see this best at horse racing as there changes will happen faster, as opposed to a soccer game (but there too you will see immediately).
So what sports betting websites have algorythms for is to eliminate arbitrage possibilities, and make sure they keep their odds lower than they betfair lay bets odds are. Otherwise you would bet on any event on the sports betting website and you would lay the same amount on betfair (or almost the same amount) and you wouldn't really care about the result: every time it happens that you win at the sports betting agency, you win...

So Betfair establishes in reality odds market. So what's wrong with this then? Might Betfair have better algorythms or something? No, that's not the case at all. Why? Because Betfair is an exchange market where odds are traded. Odds are established by players on the market and that is why things become subjective again. If somebody for example is so confident that TEAM A will win that he throws on the market a very large amount, that will immediately push down the odds unless there is not an equal financial support for TEAM B also on the betfair exchange market. Of course, in this case if you start to think about the possible difference in sizes of the two clubs (TEAM A, and TEAM B) fans clubs, it will be obvious in which direction odds are going.
And I am not saying that this is a bad thing, or that this market trends might not have objective basis too. But there is a lot of subjectivity to it, and that is the part my system can at least in big part eliminate.

That's how it happened for example that Man Utd had odds around 1.2 (so you actually had to risk 500 USD to win 100 USD) against Stoke City, in a game which after all he lost with 0-1. I am not saying either that my system would have been suggesting to place a bet on Stoke City. My system would simply skip this bet (or just mark with a yellow flag or something to bet with caution), mostly because if you analyze objectively the late results of these teams you will immediately see that Man Utd. has lots of draws in best case scenario, and losses. Didn't actually won a match for a while. Of course the analysis it's not simple, you need to make a lot of cross-analysis, etc. I am just trying to summarize it briefly.

According to van Gaal (their coach) this defeat against Stoke "wasn't a surprise". So if people their own coach didn't considered this to be a surprise, how come odds were down as 1.2? Because of the subjective factor.

Hmm... that's strange, I use Chrome and have no problem accessing it, no warnings or whatever.

Anyway, you can imagine that bitcoinstarter is NOT my website. It is a bitcoin crowd funding website I have found and where I have listed my project. Being so, I am not sure how much you should worry about the security certificate warning of bitcoinstarter.com.

I want to invite you all to have a look at the following investment possibility:

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000

Please take 10-15 minutes to carefully read the presentation before you start asking questions.

I open this thread as the official thread for this project. Please feel free to raise all the questions, concerns you might have in this thread (or via PM), and I will be happy to answer you an share more details with you (of course within reasonable levels).

EDIT: 5 BTC collected in one day. 45 more to go (it can come from a single investor too, so hurry up if you don't want to be too late).

EDIT 2: Within one week this project collected about 33% (5 BTC via bitcoinstarter and 11.6 BTC directly to my address with txid 4f396d3a3fc907e0cf26d72b70f5b3aee125503a73122bc079ad3736f0e433d3). There are about ONLY 33 BTC left to be collected, so if you want to invest in this project then you need to think/act fast.

Maybe you will like this project: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000

It is as real as it gets, take some time to read trough the entire presentation. Any questions you might have, feel free to PM me, and I will answer you gladly.

Not exactly. I don't think that you can charge anything at this point if projects don't get exposure. You need to drive people to your website somehow, to raise awareness of the existence of it (I didn't knew until yesterday either about a bitcoin crowdfunding possibility either, and I am on this forum for quite a while already). So the signature will help.

Then, selecting a project which would be interesting for a larger part of the community on your index page would be good to catch the attention for your website and not just close it once somebody opened it. Survival gear and learning are LESS of an interest for bitcoin community as anything related to betting, so you should manually pick a SOLID case for the index for now.

After your site kicks off, of course you can charge extra to feature projects (they have to appear however a little bit differently).

Well, one way to get more exposure for your website would be to ask people who create projects on your website to add the link to that project in their signature (just like I have did now). This way, people would see all around this forum bitcoinstarter and the site would have more chance to get a lift off.

Another suggestion I might have (and of course I realize that this is subjective as it is my interest too, but I truly believe that it is a project that would catch more peoples eyes) would be to highlight my project on the index page. It is a project which would be of an interest to a lot more people on this forum, and in the bitcoin community as the survival gear and learning stuff (no offense, but really if you make the social profile of bitcoiners you'll see that most of them - as in almost the entire community - are interested of gambling, betting, and a lot less would invest in survival gears).
