I have no way to prove that I'm the winner, other than TheQuin's word. As he said, I never received an email telling me I won because I reached out to him first. You can take a look at a screenshot of my user ID, but screenshots can be photoshopped.
Reading through the previous posts, it seems like there is really just 4 main questions that people want to know:
1) Lambo or bitcoin?
My coworkers are used to seeing me drive into work with a 10+ year old beat up truck. While it would be quite amusing to see the looks on their faces when I showed up, in a lambo, it just isn't practical. I'd have to pay for taxes, gas, insurance, and maintenance. Not worth it. I asked for the bitcoin without a second thought.
2) How did you get your golden tickets?
I didn't buy any, and I didn't win any in the wheel of fortune either. So that leaves one possible explanation: I gambled. I placed a few bets on some sporting events, but nearly all of it was done on dice. Some quick math tells you that in the 6 months of the competition I wagered (4870)x(0.005) = 24.35 bitcoin.
3) After winning 10.27 bitcoin, are you in profit?
I have to go through each section of the site to answer this one:
Free BTC: I have performed 26,848 free spins and have won 0.07445748 bitcoin. I won the $20 prize once a few years ago and have never won the $200 prize.
Multiply BTC: This one pains me greatly. I signed up for freebitco.in several years ago with no intention of depositing or gambling. I just wanted some free sats. I spent a few weeks doing free rolls trying to reach the deposit minimum. I got bored, stopped rolling, and logged out. I forgot about the site for 8-9 months.
Then I saw a video about the powers of compound interest. I remembered the interest earning potential on freebitco.in, so I logged back in, made a large deposit, and was excited watching my balance grow without doing anything. But I got impatient. I wanted to earn faster. I started doing small multiply rolls, a satoshi, 1000 satoshis there. I'm sure any degenerate gambler knows how this story ends. Small wins didn't cut it for very long. I increased my bet size, got greedy, and lost everything.
I was terribly upset, but luckily for me, this happened in the middle of the bear market caused the bcash/bsv drama. So while I did lose a substantial amount of bitcoin, I was able to replace all that I lost. I deposited it back into freebitco.in to earn interest, and had no desire to gamble anymore, so I just visited the site to do free rolls every hour.
And I did really good for a few years. I would gamble on dice occasionally, but my bets were mostly pretty small. If I started on a bad losing streak, I could (painfully) convince myself to stop. That is, until June 23 of this year. You can see the post someone made a few days ago with my ID on the leaderboard with ~9 bitcoin gambled. I lost all control and all of those 9 bitcoin were lost in the span of 8 seconds (and if you're wondering, I didn't even win the daily jackpot that day).
I have performed 3,447 multiply rolls and have lost 10.34445924 bitcoin.
Betting: I don't have exact stats here because freebitco.in does not provide them. I placed a large bet on Biden during the election in 2020, and won. In total I would say I am up ~4 bitcoin on the betting section.
Premium: This is another one where I do not have exact stats. I bought 500k fun tokens on the day the program was announced for ~0.365 btc. Through buying the FUN dumps and selling the pumps, I have brought my cost for the membership down to ~0.18 btc. I have earned ~0.30 bitcoin in cashback, ~0.10 bitcoin in extra interest, and ~0.002 bitcoin in WOF spins. If you're interested, I performed 7,255 WOF spins this morning after saving them for 14 months. You can see the results in the imgur album.
If you don't gamble regularly and you do not have a large balance on freebitco.in, I don't think the premium membership is worth it. You almost certainly will not make your money back through WOF spins alone.
Win a lambo: I am up 10.27168610 bitcoin on this section
Earn BTC: I am up 0.76045185 BTC on this section.
Contest: I won the sixth prize in June this year, so I am up 0.03773296 bitcoin on this section.
Refer: I never promote my ID so I was about to say that I have no referrals, but to my surprise I checked just now and 2 people have signed up under me. They must have signed up after my user ID gained popularity after winning the lambo. So I am up 0.00000020 bitcoin on this section (lol).
Who are these 2 mystery men? Don't be a stranger, reach out and say hi!
Lottery: Many years ago I won 3rd prize in the lottery and so I am up 0.13530860 BTC on this section.
Rewards: I always just cash out my reward points for bitcoin. There are no stats kept here other but based on the amount I have wagered I would say I am up ~0.20 bitcoin.
And that about sums it up. Looking at my (balance + withdrawals) - (deposits) I am in profit of 5.64845487 bitcoin after the lambo competition.
4) What are you going to do with your winnings?
I am sorry to say that I have already gambled away the majority of what I won.
Nah, just kidding (but I had you going there for a second, didn't I?). A user on this forum said I gambled 12 bitcoin the day after the lambo win, but he must have my user ID mixed up with someone else. I haven't gambled since June, and don't plan to do so anymore, for real this time. Losing so much bitcoin so quickly hurt me deeply, and it has been a rough few months. The first time I lost all my bitcoin, the bear market got me out of jail. The lambo freed me the second time. I don't think anything will save me if it happens again.
So, I plan to withdraw so that my freebitco.in balance is 10 BTC. I will use what I have withdrawn to treat myself with a powerful new computer. And, with great sadness in my heart, I will use that computer to log out of freebitco.in. There are people out there who can gamble responsibly. I am not one of them. I will earn about 0.50 bitcoin in interest every year, and will likely cash out during the next bull run after the 2024 bitcoin halving.
Of course, I'll log back in around the time of the lambo drawing to earn myself a golden ticket (or 2
). Because even though you may all grab your torches and pitchforks and chase me through the streets if I win a second time, the only thing better than winning 1 lambo, is winning a second one.
So good luck all, gamble safely, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
