Betting Advice from focs

If you don't know who I am, here's a quick introduction:

I started betting a few months after CSGL hit the scene and after winning some and losing some, I found myself with only $1.30 left to bet with. With that $1.30, I managed to make over $29,000 in skins. I gained a lot of popularity in the betting scene and ran a free betting group (this group) until it became a huge problem. The problem was that simply giving you all advice, was drastically swaying the odds.

To remedy that situation, I created an "insider" betting group in which I charged a couple keys for entry. The group was capped well under 700 members to limit any odds sway. It was a lot of work that was nearing impossible to do while having a CS:GO playing career that was headed towards playing professionally. Not having the time to do both, I took a much needed break.

After that, the team I was on was moved up and competed professionally in the top NA leagues, and by doing so, it prohibited me from not only betting, but from also giving any sort of betting advice. For that reason, my betting advice was effectively put on hold.

After the season, my team decided to remove me from the team. Doing so meant that I was no longer apart of a professional team, which meant I can bet and also provide betting advice. However, just because I'm currently allowed to bet doesn't mean that I'm itching to start another bet group. I used to have a strong desire to help everyone by doing betting advice, then I gradually lost the love for doing so. Not necessarily because of the trolls, but mainly because of people leaking advice I worked very hard on to provide, and because of how the work consumed my life. I'm the type of guy that only does a job if I'm going to put my all into it, so I certainly did what I could to provide you the best possible analysis and predictions I could.

As I have now joined another team, I don't have it in me to provide the same service with as much effort and because of that, I wouldn't feel right taking people's keys/money for it. Until I'm done playing competitively and feel like I'm ready to give you the best product I can, I won't be returning. It's still something I think about often, so I would imagine that I'll be back at some point in the future, but it's impossible to know when.

For now, you can catch me streaming at www.twitch.tv/focs24 and follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/L1_focs for updates. For as long as I'm not playing in a professional division in a league, you may ask me betting questions and I will try to answer them as I read them.

I will always post an announcement on this group when I go live on stream, but I encourage you to follow me on Twitch for alerts when I go live as well.
