Introducing myself SyGambler and how gambling and crypto changed my life

[dredge]

Hey Guys , so I'm actually late joining steem but never felt that I love to blog :)
some of you here may already know me from bitcointalk cause I'm active there daily , but for the ones who don't here are some info about me :
I live in Syria and I bet you all know how the situation is so complicated there , after I finished my high school 5 years ago I started searching about how to make money online which at first thought impossible
I started with PTC sites ( sites that pays you like 0.001$ to see an ad ) it was a waste of time of course but the good thing is that some of the ads were promoting some bitcoin faucets , I was totally not sure what bitcoin is so I started researching it more and here was the boom of my life :D

after discovering bitcoin I discovered bitcointalk which I guess all of you already know
what I liked the most about bitcointalk is the gambling section , since I was 15 I was a huge lover of poker I used to play Zynga poker on facebook and I still remember a Lebanese TV channel that used to stream poker after dark episodes

so I always wanted to play real money poker online but the thing is that I was never able to find a payment method so I can deposit and withdraw , in Syria ewallets and other banking options like Paypal , Neteller , Skrill , Payza , VISA , MASTER ...etc all are not available so it was like impossible for me to play poker online

luckily I discovered in bitcointalk that there are some bitcoin poker sites , sites that don't care about where you are located so now my problem was kinda solved
I had no money at that time at all and I really wanted to make money so bad , so I started playing poker freerolls which are basically a free to enter poker tournaments where winners get small prizes

I started playing in sealswithclubs , Betcoin and Americascardroom freerolls , I was able to make 100$ with the freerolls in like 3 weeks
after that I started learning the game more , so started learning sit n goes poker with the 100$ that I collected and I was beating the microstakes there
I ended up making 5000$ my first year just from poker ( which is insane comparing it to the averge 900$ yearly that people here make )

now after 5 years I'm totally self independent averaging around 3000$ a month from the things I do online

6 months ago I stopped playing poker and now I'm focusing more on sportsbetting and investing in tipsters

as you see in my bio I'm a medical student so I need time to study and poker is really time consuming so decided to shift to sportsbetting

with my next days here in steem I will help you to find good sites to bet with and good tipsters to follow in case you want to invest in tipsters
I will be sharing my results here weekly just like I do in bitcointalk and hope you will benefit from it

so as you can see guys , crypto is full of opportunities and it's possible to make income even without having a dollar to invest
I started my journey with zero and so you can do , it's a blessing that I'm thankful of

Hello dredge! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome to the community...
How are things in your place now?is it still war?

[dredge]

thanks for asking , it's all good in the area I live
cheers :)

[blog-fictions]

I thought it's war in the entire country...good to know atleast some places are safe...

[apolymask]

What an awesome and inspiring story. :) It's great to see it worked out so well for you! I've been meaning to talk to someone about crypto gambling for a while, maybe you could help me understand better? Do you have to worry about any laws? Do people ever get arrested for crypto gambling? Or is it pretty safe if you do it right?
Sometimes it sorta seems like crypto is a big casino itself, so.. The lines become very blurred at times.

[dredge]

no I don't think so , at least in my country
in general you can avoid possible troubles by just using a VPN since all bitcoin gambling sites don't care about VPNs
so I guess you should be fine

[apolymask]

Thanks for the info! I'll look into it more sometime.
