Hello guys,
As a newbie in the Bitcoin world, I bought my first ever BTC a few months ago. And here is the situation now:

- I have 0.5 BTC at Blockchain (no hardware wallet yet in my possession)
- I have 0.52 BTC pending on a bet at a bookmaker, this bet will be paid in January (Trump to be President until end of year 2017: Yes).

Is there anything I need to do?
The bookmaker said he will pay the bet in BTC, when it is settled (as the bet right now is very likely to be a winner).

Any opinion very welcome.

Thanks for reading.

Regards.

Well, if you made bet on legit bookmaker, then you will receive your 0.52 btc in January, when bet will be settled.
And as I understand, you have 0.5 btc on Blockchain.info (please note that Blockchain and Blockchain.info are diferent things). It's not best place to keep btc, but basically, it's good enough. But I would recommend to use desktop wallet if still don't have hardware wallet. If you planning to continue keeping btc on Blockchain.info, you need to have your 12 words recovery phrase in safe place in case you will loose acces to your wallet.

Hi LTU_btc. Thanks for your help. It is indeed blockchain.info I am talking about (I have my 12 words stored somewhere).
I will still follow your advice about desktop wallet.
Cheers Wink
