Betting My Way To Russia!

[michkima]

Really awesome OP, I guess the community is more than happy for you. Just to be honest, I am really happy to see that you even posted pictures of you on the events! I can't say that everyone here would do such a thing since I think most people here value their identities. It's nice to see that you are a living proof that bitcoins can bring you places! Good luck and I hope you can go to every live game you want to go to around the world!

It is good to be ambitious and enthusiastic about going to Russia to watch the world cup. I really find this thread quite awesome and inspirational for me and other people to bet for their team and support them especially with bitcoin. I hope one day all people will be able to use bitcoin freely.

Sometimes we need to do something not usual the break the routine and that is what you exactly are planning to do. I hope you have a good time out there.

Wow, just wow. I envy you mate. Even if you end up losing you'll have so many pictures and new friends. Money is nothing compared to the experiences.
The only thing that strikes me in this thread is the word soccer. Its bloody football ffs!
Good luck with your bets and keep us updated!

Intercontinental playoff 2nd-leg report

This post is the TLDR, full and updated details are here https://bitedge.com/blog/betting-my-way-to-russia-intercontinental-playoff-2nd-leg-report/

The game: Australia 3 - Honduras 1 (Australia qualify)

In my preview to this game I said if Honduras play like they did in the 1st-leg they will lose 3-0. They played like they did in the 1st-leg and were losing 3-0 until the final minute, when they bundled over a consolation goal to make it 3-1.

Don’t let the high goal tally make you think the Socceroos have fixed their scoring problems; all 3 goals were set pieces rather than being scored from general play.

Expenses and bets

Winner winner chicken dinner! I spent 939 mBTC to follow the Socceroos on both legs of the intercontinental playoff against Honduras. I have won 947 mBTC on a bet for Australia to qualify. That is after I had similar success in the Asian qualification playoff against Syria.

I have also had the time of my life with amazing travel experiences, caught up with old friends and family, made new friends, visited awesome places, tried delicious food and generally lived the dream!



Thanks for your positive comments guys, people are liking the pics so I made an image gallery with all the photos so far https://bitedge.com/blog/betting-my-way-to-russia-in-pictures/

For the Word Cup itself I have the Australia 3 game team specific ticket and will be able to calculate the expenses soon after the draw in December.

It's a very good topic mate, It's very nice to take some good picture likes that and support your country. I think that you are a big fun for football , and that's great, I hope that you will always win with your bets.
Good luck man.

Wow! Sounds really interesting, and dangerous altogether. Someone following his team in other countries to support it, while earning the expenses through the games being played. It must have been a hell of an experience for sure. Even if i had the money for betting, or i was a die-hard fan of any sport, i wouldn't dare to take that much risk, but as they always say, there is no fun without risk, and for sure you had fun if you have took risks.
Good luck for the next time mate!
