Wsdea Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi guys, I just wanted to share with you something that I have been noticing over the past few months. Basically, I see more and more people going to gambling sites not to gamble, but to take advantage of outdated prices. Their method is : Quickbuy outdated overpriced unusuals for very low Join coinflips or other games with their overpriced stuff while other people put in-date items. In the end, either they have a higher chance of winning the coinflip because their item is worth more, or if the coinflip is equal, that means they paid way less than their opponent. Of course, they may lose the coinflip but in the long run, and with some capital, they end up earning a ton of money. Personnaly I find this a bit fishy do that. Do you guys think this is a legitimate way to make money in TF2 ? Let me know your thoughts. Wsdea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dang Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yes it's perfectly legitimate from the perspective of the wider trading community. The thing is that this is something that shouldn't be able to happen, but the idiots who keep dumping in all their money in pure allow it to be so. It really falls on: A. the site owners to prevent valuations from being so broken or disallow these unusuals from being deposited in the first place (or ban offenders) B. the idiots that said people gamble against to quit putting in pure or properly valued items. It would be like if you and I kept doing coin flips, but I bid $10 each time while you put $20 with equal chances of winning. Of course in the long run I will always average out far, far ahead of you, so it's your responsibility to either stop playing or also bid overpriced shit to even it out (or get the person overseeing it to force me to play fair). The logical conclusion of this activity is that the people gambling all use overpriced Unusuals against each other, which negates any profit from being had in this manner. TL;DR idiots threw a lot of money into a big pile, someone with at least a few brain cells found out they can win on average from their idiocy = the idiots' fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dang Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Oh and to be clear, it is, in fact, still gambling when you are using overpriced bids like that. It's just that it changes from a gamble where you lose a little on average to the house, to winning a huge amount on average, so if you repeat it a hundred times you will virtually always find it to be very worthwhile.

Diamond jozu Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 this is gambling's site problem. Valve already has given a warning to all of us to not use 3rd gambling site or else this can happen. This is why when i gamble,i gamble small items and once i win more than what i gamble,i leave, get a self ban and blacklist that site and do other steps to prevent anything bad to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 When it comes to your example, I don't think this was Sujak's method of making the money he did, I sometimes see open games with him as host so he doesn't exactly get to choose how much profit he makes off winning 100% of the time. I think it was just luck and a lot of disposable money, maybe I'm wrong tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soz Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi guys, I just wanted to share with you something that I have been noticing over the past few months. Basically, I see more and more people adding not to trade, but to sell nudes. Their method is: get some pictures online, Photoshop their credentials on, sell them. Of course, they might be blocked, but there are a lot of people paying for that so they end up with a ton of money. Personnaly I find this a bit fishy do that. Do you guys think this is a legitimate way to make money in TF2 ? Let me know your thoughts. Example: https://imgur.com/a/E2lXGxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h21 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's a lot more legitimate than getting premium searched and getting traded a bunch of trash for your rare unusual. At least with the coinflip, you can still get the trash and your hat back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisonin Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I've been playing online games since 2009. I started with Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2, around 2016 I switched to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I've been making money from games since 2010, when Team Fortress 2 allowed me to swap cosmetic items with each other. Cosmetic items do not affect the game and do not give any advantage, the only benefit they have is the ability to make your game character unique. For example, there are various virtual modifications in TF2, from a variety of hats to jackets, boots, ponchos and more. Cosmetic items often contain references to famous movie and video game characters - for example, the cap and glasses from the movie "Leon". But lately I've been happy with that, too - https://yummyspins.com/review/gunsbet-casino/. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
