Hopefully, everyone has joined the cricket pools #554228 organized by @Coinsreporter.
This morning, freebitcoin opened its pool for who will win the T20 Cricket Tournament. There are usually some fun odds over there. See my post on how their betting system works #342765.
Even with my currently outstanding bets, I'm still (allegedly) up over 40ksats across all the sports. Join the fun, if you're so inclined.
With my new found cricket expertise I am certain to win many sats. FreeBitcoin here I come.
You are doing well. My goal is to tread water until NFL season starts. I forgot I made a slew of bets on the Bitcoin price for May so I am not going to be down as much as I thought unless something crazy happens in the next couple days I am going to get a couple thousand sats back from that bet.

I should have mentioned that they got the June forecast up, also.
reply
I will wait until my May payout comes through. I just bet 3500 sats on cricket. As long as one of the top 5 teams wins, I will be up based on current odds.
reply
Obviously they'll change, but the odds were really juicy for some of the lower underdogs, like Sri Lanka. There were a couple that would net me over 100k, as it stood when I entered.
reply
Just put 500 sats on Sri Lanka for the hell of it. 67k sats pay out. Why not.
reply
Look at the high-roller. I didn't even put 200 down on Sri Lanka.
The odds don't look nearly as good as they did this morning. I think our bets might be most of the money down on Sri Lanka.

Thanks for mentioning about pools!
I've been using freebitcoin like forever just because it's been the oldest Bitcoin faucet alive!
You're right the odds are quite fun there but betting has been the prime reason for their sustainablity. Isn't it? Also, if we can exactly pick three teams which can be possible winners, we're sure to win!!!
And TBH, my strategy has been to bet for underdogs. I'm gonna pick Srilanka, Westindies and South Africa in that pool, albeit with smaller amounts.
Smaller amounts because when I lose I don't regret, but when I win I can celebrate in a big way...

I don't know if event wagering is their main source of profit, but they have a model that virtually guarantees them a positive return.
My main gripe with them is that they don't have basketball.
reply
Do you do some serious betting or just some casual?
reply
Casual
I like that there are no minimums, so I can put really small amounts on extreme longshots.
reply
That's okay then 😜 we are both on the same boat.
Because I love cricket and want to make it interesting to watch personally, I make p2p beta with family and fiends here.
In the IPL, I lost nearly $500 but only p2p
