Long story short, I just lost all my good betting skins on an impulse bet.


I am now going to try to go from nothing (the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 30-50 cent skins I have in CSGL) to an M4A4 | Howl (Field-Tested). I have been wanting to do this for a while. I will keep trading and betting until I get there.

All trades and bets that I make from here on out strictly regarding this Operation will be posted here. All bets will be posted at 0800 and 1700 EST (1400 and 2300 CET - 2 times because matches are added after school too so this will allow me to cover them all). Trades will just be posted here. Lost bets will be as well with a chart of the ups and downs of my bets at the end (see Useful Links and Extensions for this Google Chrome extension).


Feel free to join me on my expedition comrades and good luck to us all!

- Eric


P.S. I may also upgrade my knife to a Flip Knife | Fade (Factory New) so if I do, most stuff after this will be given away in raffles.


Now that I think about it, I'll do Operation Nothing2M4HowlFT first, then keep doing other Operations like upgrading my knife. That will be the goal of this group from now on. Feel free to get people to join us/me on this journey.

After some short little skirmishes and having finally gone negative after listening to someone who made a crucial mistake, I have decided to simply create a spreadsheet like the two people who I know did very well had done and test some betting predictions and theories before I start betting again.

This spreadsheet[docs.google.com] will be made on Google Drive for all to see so if you would like predictions, look here[docs.google.com].

All predictions are updated there[docs.google.com] daily as I see lounge add the matches.

All those links are the same document, there are just multiple so people notice.

I am planning on doing a case opening of about 100 cases on Christmas Day.

I will then do a raffle of the skins and/or knives that I unlock. Please just send any extra cases that you do not want to this account using the trade link that is posted on it's steam profile if you would like.

I am debating making it so that only those who send cases can be entered into the raffle at the end of the opening. (Up for toss - I will decide on Christmas Day depending on what I get; Kara Fade FN means only those who donated cases ;)

It will be more of a raffle type of giveaway where people will have to pay to enter. ($1 as usual)

So it has recently come to my attention, that perhaps I may be trying too hard to do this. Meaning, people aren't willing to pay $1 skins to enter.
Maybe you're willing to do that for a better giveaway (like a $20 skin?)?

I've decided that maybe, asking $1 skins isn't a way to test group interest.
This time, I'm going to make it so that entry to the group, costs 2 cases, any case. Except, for Operation Vanguard Case. Those will count as 2 entries.

I'm going to end this giveaway on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 5 pm EST (11 pm CET, 2 pm PST - in case you don't know timezones, CET is Central European Time, and PST is Pacific Standard Time aka. US west coast).

Entries will be sent to the giveaway account once again. Since someone mentioned that they didn't know how to enter, it's very simple. JUST CLICK HERE. It will bring up a steam trade offer window, and drag and drop your items into it to send. In the message that can be included with the offer, simply just type: "giveaway entry" (without quotes).

This will be the very last attempt at getting group members to express interest and enter the giveaways. An event will later be scheduled to mark the end of the giveaway. Once again, 10 people would be the perfect starting number.





People who have already donated multiple cases when I was starting the account are already pre-entered. Those people are: ✯ラブ Domoi-Chan 嫌い✯, iTzMEhELLO, LeoTehEpic 2.1, Spyku ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [Trading], and Anal Magic. That's 5 people already entered. I'm only looking for 5 more now. As per usual giveaway rules, the winner will receive 50% of the entry items. However, this time, if you would not like cases, provided there is enough, I will trade them up for a key for you and give you that key, OR I will trade them up to whatever skin that you want (within a certain price range, aka. less than 1k - of course if there's enough for 2k, etc. then I will do that).


AFTER-NOTE: This giveaway is super easy to enter, its only 2 cases. When I say cases, sticker capsule do count. As with all other giveaways, multiples of the entry amount, (4, 6, 8, 10, etc.), do count as multiple entries, (2, 3, 4, 5, etc.). We are starting a small fund for the account so that we can actually start getting some good stuff in the giveaways.

I told you all that I needed group participation if I were to continue giveaways. 7 people had said they were interested before, yet 0 people entered.

Since there is no interest apparently, there are no more giveaways and there will not be a knife giveaway. Maybe we can try this again sometime next year? We will have to see

The event that officially was the 24 hour warning before the giveaway ends was about 4 hours ago.

You have a little more than 7 and a half hours to submit your skins. Submit them to this account. The links for sending steam offer without being a friend of the account are posted all around.

7 people states that they would be interested, so it would be good if they entered. If not even these 7 enter, then I'm just done with it. 10 people would be the perfect number though to really get things started.

Remember: $1 entry skins to this account.

Note: I sent a bunch of extra skins and cases to this account, and got some from friends too. I'm trying to start a small fund for the giveaways, so this first giveaway will help to increase that fund so we can really get things going.
