I agree with the most experienced users that have replied in the beginning of this thread and I too think the best and most appropriate time is when you reach Full Member. Reasons are quite simple and pretty straight forward which are, you have 4 months to learn and read through this forum, so you will not post one line spam posts just to increase your post count and you will also be knowledgeable to a certain degree that you can help newbies when replying to their posts. Second reason is because many signature campaign offer to accept Full Members and there are a lot of choices for you to choose from. If you like daily payment you need to join the signature which I am promoting, if you like low number of posts as minimum and get paid weekly there are Secondstrade, Bitmixer, Cryptomixer and a few others. If you like monthly payment and low number of posts per month as minimum you can join Rollin.io , Betcoin.ag and the alikes signature.

Almost all of the picks of champions league were losses with Celtic suffering the worst possible loss from a team from Gibraltar, now how ridiculous is that a team like Celtic being beaten by a team which has a stadium with 3000 places max. Also the Legia Warsaw draw and Salsburg only managed to win by one goal difference, also other games like the draw of Apoel Nicosia was another surprise and it was my tip of yesterday. This champions league qualification so far started out with a lot of surprises.
Still Joca you are rocking it in the long term and bad days can happen to almost any tipsters in here. Let's see the recovery today

So is doing also some other non legit cloud mining so far which I don't remember which. But let's get back at genesis mining, I see through facebook they are promoting heavily their website now and claiming that after the halving many ponzi companies have gone out of the market and many legit ones could not afford to continue(all words of Marcus Streng or whatever the CEO of genesis is called). Now they are inviting people to their website and are using the X11 as a profitable way of mining if you join them. Well I really want to believe it but I will not until someone here shows solid evidence that they made profit with this new restarted X11 mining from Genesis-Mining(solid evidence to be from normal users of the forum and not from the shills who have in their signature Genesis mining discount code or are in some form affiliated to them).

There are people who are buying the script of hashocean and cldmine in xfreelancer and some there are asking other people to create a script like those from the beginning for just 250 USD, these scammers will do anything to rob people. By now the lesson should be learned , especially after the halving where reward from legit cloud mining sites decreased greatly that is to not invest in any so called cloud mining website which shows no data of mining, no actual pool where they are mining. And especially to not invest in any website who just put some imaginary data centers on some map , that's the biggest red flag together with referral commission which if its from 5% and above then 101% its a ponzi scam.

Without house edge a casino cannot exist. It cannot be able to pay its support staff, employees and marketing and PR staff if its a big casino. Many of the famous casinos like directbet.eu, betcoin.ag , bitcasino.io etc have staff and they need to pay them too. So the house edge is always present in the above mentioned companies and the gambler , usually the greedy one will pay the highest price of losing everything just because of his greed. The house edge in the long run will make any gambler lose their bankroll especially if its a low one.
Rare cases have happened when some gamblers have bet max bet and won the jackpot but these cases can be counted with the fingers of one hand, so not recommended. Best to try skill games like Texas Holdem against other players, chances are higher if you are a good player.

So far I didn't do any mistake in gambling , I review thoroughly anyone of my bets which I am placing. But this means nothing as in the end I have lost too like many others. However I want to believe until I prove it myself otherwise that doubling your bet in sports book when you have a high bankroll it may result also in a big win at the end of the day although I know many people have end losing at the end of the day. The problem is they rush without thinking to raise their bets after losing (am talking about sportsbook here). I am giving it a try myself, I started today with a large base bet and will plan to double it if the game is lost or even triple it depending on the confidence of a pick.

Today I choose something from the J league of Japan, as I am afraid from champions games today, low odds and not a lot of confidence there.

Japan J League
Kawasaki Frontale vs Albirex Niigata  1 @1.59 odd
Basebet 150  mBTC

I choose this game only because Kawasaki Frontale is playing for the championship and they are the team with the better statistics with only 1 loss so far during almost 20 games played, their recent form is great and I think they can beat a team like Albirex Niigata today.
I raised the bet today as I have confidence in this bet, and going for martingaling the next to 2 bets and play all the available balance trying to bring the profit to another level.

Unfortunately the game ended 0-0 and I am very much surprised from a team of Wales not conceding any goals. Well we are back to point 0 now with 0 mBTC as profit, and from tomorrow is a new start, a new try which hopefully will be much better than these last 9 games. In fact I want to dare tomorrow with another champions qualification an under 2.5 goals but am not convinced yet, need to read the news. Today the news was wrong as they were all saying Apoel to win or both teams to score yes, none of which happened.

If you cannot control yourself and are way too much addicted to gambling as you don't care if you win or lose but you just want to gamble as you can't live without it then in this case I advise anyone in this situation to ask mental and health help. There are a lot of websites if you just google (I wanna quit gambling definitively) you just need to have determination and keep trying until you overcome this problem of yours.

However if you see gambling as an investment like allocating a monthly amount and following tipsters or betting advisors, like betadvisor and bettingexpert websites, if you read the news, read the tips, try to find who is the player or players missing from a certain team, teams recent form, goals scored, goals conceded if you invest time in this and a bit of money (only money which will not cause you any problem if you lose) then its worth to give this a try for 1 month or 2 months and see if this is profitable for you or not. It should be in most of the cases if you follow a good tipster or group of tipsters and use always the base bet without changing it, but very few people have achieved it.

Important lesson is to bet only money which will not create you the slightest economical problem if you lose them all.

TNS vs Apoel Nicosia, the bookmakers are considering as heavy favorite the Apoel Nicosia team for this qualifying game and for me they are right. TNS is a team from Wales which has not a quality to confront teams like Apoel Nicosia which clearly have the better quality. For tonight game I am also believing the bookmakers and placing a bet on Apoel Nicosia to win with 1.67 odd. This is also my choosen tip for today in FREE TIPS thread predicting football games. I find it strange no one here mention a game which in theory should be an easy win for Apoel, but it maybe different on the field that's why soccer is beautiful and unpredictable.

When I saw the title I was really impressed at 91.42% winrate but when I saw that odds were of average 1.05 per game, you have to bet 1 btc to get 1.05 btc which honestly is great if the winnings keeps coming without being interrupted by any loss, but since 2 loss have already happened here, I am doing a bit of calculations 25x0.05 (average odd 1.05 maybe bit lower, a bit higher and base bet of 1 btc) so 25x0.05 btc equals to 1.25 btc, 2 losses x 1 btc equals to 2 btc 1.25 btc wins - 2 btc loss its equal -ve 0.75 btc. So this strategy I am afraid is not working with high base bet. Statistics says it clear.

Edit: This strategy could have been a winning one if average bet of 1.10 as 25 wins means 2.5 btc -2 btc from 2 losses equal to +ve 0.50 btc.

Nothing is lost so far from what I have read. But since it appears you are afraid to open your blockchain wallet via the surface it is maybe because you are in some country where they are too harsh against bitcoin may be ? If it is so, you need to stop using TOR, buy a cheap VPN service to access the clear web page of blockchain.info and you should be safe. If this is not the case and your country has nothing to do with it, I would go with a advanced version of Linux (Kali, Whoppix, or Tails) as you can directly boot these OS and access your blockchain.info from their browsers and you are sure that these live CD/DVD are not infected and you can be safe if you are afraid from viruses, spyware or keyloggers. If none of the 2 options above is your problem then I don't understand what you are doing by trying to access the blockchain wallet of yours via TOR.

Blockchain.info has stated in their website in their FAQ as far as I know that they will never ask you to invest bitcoin to them or to some unknown investment project , also never ask you sensitive information like the password as they don't store it. The 2 sentences where they ask to send 0.50 or 1 Btc are a big red flag and this scammer or these scammers are really pathetic. Only a fool can fall for this, but its a good thing to put this up for discussion as I know a few persons who have already fell for this old trick, because of greed or stupidity I don't know but let's clear all doubts here and never let any scammers win.

I don't understand at first place what is the need for people having such an online wallet like coinbase, maybe because they can buy bitcoin with their bank account there, but other than this I don't see any reason to still using online wallets. Why many people here tend to rely to third parties (coinbase,circle,XAPO,blockchain.info etc) to do their bitcoin transactions ? You can just download a desktop wallet and do all of your activities, like gambling, trading, mining whatever you like doing with your bitcoins without any limitation, without any control, and that is the core philosophy behind bitcoin, 0 control for someone who holds this currency. I can understand buying bitcoin easily with bank account and that's a good thing. But as soon as you buy it there for example, send it to your desktop wallet like Electrum or MultibiHD. This way you can have both wallets and coinbase will not suspend or ban you as you are doing nothing illegal , just sending some coins from a wallet to another wallet of yours.

I have heard priests in my country (supposedly a catholic country but unfortunately very much away from it, ITALY) talking very hard and condemn it to the highest degree. Also every other religion beside Christianity like Islam, Jewish and all the alikes are very hard against it. So if you are a religious person, its best to stay away from gambling as in almost all bigger religions is a sin and in some of them is even considered a big sin like in Judaism or Jewish am not really that knowledgeable in this area. If you are not a religious person than nothing is a sin for you I guess so not even gambling.

Soccer is by far the most easy sport to bet on. Its easier to bet on a soccer game between 2 teams because you can find all the related news for these 2 teams and all the betting tips for free most of them if you just know how to google it(yes it has a few special keywords needed in order to get the most accurate information). But nothing is sure in soccer either. We have seen much weaker teams beat much stronger teams and thats the beauty of football, otherwise football would be just some other boring sport.

I have tried to quit many times but then sports book is very much appealing and I know in the long run I can be in profit with them. Maybe I quit for sometime when there are not any good games to play but I read daily the news and all the betting tips regarding an event I want to place a bet and after reviewing them all I decide to bet on the most talked and predicted outcome of the game. It makes me feel overconfident and it seems I can't stop playing sports book at all, thats why I never quit for real, only temporarily.

Today there are not many games to choose from as its July but we have champions league qualification so why not give a try to them.
The game that has come to my attention is TNS(The New Saints) vs Apoel Nicosia and why not give it a try.
Apoel Nicosia is the better team here but TNS is not to be under evaluated , however let's bet on Apoel as they try to secure qualification since this round.

TNS vs Apoel Nicosia  2  @1.67 odd
Basebet 50mBTC

If we lose , we start over tomorrow from point zero.

Gambling can add excitement to a specific event you are watching on TV but it can also drastically make you really really sad for something which is not in your control. Let me make an example for that. I bet on Formula 1 Rosberg to win without Hamilton counting in the race. I watched it on TV and was really excited that Rosberg overtook Verstappen as if he can't then he doesn't deserve the Mercedes car. Yet the stewards thought just because he got a little hint from the team to not use the 7th gear, they penalized him and I lost my bet. This is an example when gambling can make you very sad as although you win , there are other people who can ruin it for you.

It appears the curse of 1 win 1 loss is still following me and its a loss today. I though 2 teams who score a lot of goals could make goals today. I was wrong as Malmo played only to get the 3 points and didn't care of showing some good game at all. Orebro were not up to the task also. Its W4 L4 today. Net profit is 50 mBTC so far.
Tomorrow lets hope the curse continue and it should be a win if we follow the statistics 1 win 1 loss. Lets see what we can do.
