Easy Crypto Sport Betting

If you remember I had posted an article about a month ago on how to do sports betting through Exodus wallet. Link to that article
Which was a bit complicated as it involved multiple steps to convert BitcoinCash to USDC on Polygon, and some of you have called me out on it for that.
In this article I want to share another platform that is a bit more easier.
What happened to Exodus and SportX?
It was fun but the reliability had started to become somewhat of an issue, the transactions weren't going through and the customer support wasn't helpful so I decided to move to a different platform.
Still those who want to try that can look at it.
The new platform:
One of the reason I choose to use the SportX app on Exodus wallet was to avoid giving personal information and to use Crypto directly without using fiat currency.
Thunderpick.com offered the same with just a email registration.
Furthermore, the Deposit can be made directly in BitcoinCash and if you use my link to sign up then you'll receive 5% bonus on first deposit. Use this link for 5% Bonus
Registering without this link will get you no bonus, so if you do decide to use it than use this link
Register
Registering is fairly simple,
Go to the website using the link and you'll see the sign up option on the right side
Do make sure you see Bonus active and a green tick mark before you sign up
Enter you email address and choose a password
Check on I'm over 18
Click sign up
After the sign up it will take you to the deposit section for you to claim your bonus
Here you'll have many option to deposit various cryptocurrencies
I have already made a few deposits but on the first deposit it will more most the same screen, but it will also show you your bonus
Remember to click and tick on claim bonus before you make a deposit.
Making the deposit
Here in example I am going to take the example of our favorite coin BitcoinCash
Click on Bitcoin Cash (BCH) option
Do remember to check the minimum deposit before sending your coins
Scroll down and you'll see the details
The fiat currency denominations used on this platform is the Euro
Here you can see the minimum deposit at the time of writing the article is 0.004119236 BCH at about 1.1 Euro
you can select from the above mentioned suggestions or write you own amount in the last option which can be as low as 1.1 Euro
I would suggest you start with a small amount at first and try it out first.
Click on Deposit
After that you'll see a payment page has been generated
Note: Don't send from Read.Cash directly as the address is in legacy format
I would suggest to use the bitcoin.com wallet and scan the QR code with the mobile app
It will automatically enter the amount and the address and you'll only need to confirm the transaction.
Receiving the Thundercoins
For your deposit you'll receive the equivalent Thundercoins which are valued at 100 Thundercoins = 1 Euro
With these Thundercoins you can place your bets and later withdraw your Thundercoins into various cryptocurrencies at the prevailing coin value to Euro.
Placing the bets
Crypto brings freedom to people and through Crypto you can also bet on sports, but you should do it responsibly as it can be addictive and unpredictable.
Thunderpick has 3 sections eSports, Sports and Casino
I'll stay away from casino and go straight into sports
I'll click on Football and scroll through the available matches
On the left I can see some of the top leagues or I could scroll through by country.
For this example lets select Champions League
From this page you'll see that currently there are 2 matches for 24 Feb that are available
The odds for either of the team winning or the match being a tie are given
However you can also see on the right side it says +4
So more options for this match are also available
Let's click on +4 to see what more options are available
Here you can see that apart for the usual who wins we have like would both teams will score a goal or not and many others.
For this example lets click on 2.63 for Manchester United to win
This will generate a bet slip on the right side
Enter the amount you want to bet in the box that says Your bet
For example let's put 1000 Thundercoins which is 10 Euros
Note: the minimum bet is 100 Thundercoins
Here you can see with this bet my potential win is 2,630 Thundercoins in case Manchester United wins this match.
Click on Place bet
and you're done.
If you want you can click on My Bets to see all the bets you have placed
Once the match is over the bet will be settled and if you win you'll get your payout in Thundercoins which you can use to place more bets or withdraw as cryptocurrency into your wallet.
Final Thoughts
Sports betting can be fun but remember to play responsibly don't bet more than you set out for it and don't expect to get rich from it.
This should just be taken as a way to enjoy the sports
Also while there is a casino option as well but I'll suggest you stay away from it.
Lastly enjoy and have fun but responsibly...
I'm not a big fan of gambling but i'll surely share this with my friends that do.
