Hack satellite signals and know the results before others

It depends on your jurisdiction. A country, a state in that country, a local municipality etc. are all separate jurisdictions with a unique set of rules and regulations that apply. It is therefore impossible for us comment the question of legality where you live. 

But there are some things to consider. The whole project can be roughly divided into two parts: 1) interception and decryption of satellite signals and 2) betting based on knowledge of results before others just like insider trading on the stock market. Frankly, most people don't pay much attention to legality. Because interception of satellite signals is much like catching sun rays. They are just there and nobody can control whether you intercept them or not. Unlike the internet, where people are tracked through their IP addresses, interception of satellite signals is rather invisible, under the radar so to say. The same applies to decryption. Password decryption is done offline. So, for most people the issue of legality is of little concern. And, as far as betting based on exclusive knowledge is concerned, this should unlike insider trading on stock market be legal in many if not most jurisdictions. It is not the same as match fixing. But that all does not mean that you should ignore the law. You must observe it even if you harm no one (apart from those gambling). So, please do check your local regulations. There are thousands of jurisdictions around the world. We simply cannot know what set of rules apply where you live. What we do know is that in many jurisdictions the issue is unclear from a legal point of view. For instance, some countries prohibit interception of satellite signals if "it causes significant harm". But there is no case law on what constitutes "significant harm". So, if the legal framework in your jurisdiction is not clear, we highly recommend obtaining legal opinion from qualified experts and follow their recommendations. 

Thats the attitude! Money is, of course, the most important part, also for us. Your profit will depend mostly on two variables. How much time you are ready devote and to a lesser extent where you live. On average people make somewhere between EUR 4 000 - 20 000 a month before taxes. Let's break it down.

First of all, you need a sports event to bet on. For example, you focus on basketball. You cannot make money 24/7, because there aren't matches 24/7. There are usually a few games every week. Some more popular, some less popular. The more popular the game, the bigger the market meaning that you can make a lot of money (a lot of people place bets). You can easily make a  thousand EUR/USD on just one such game (our record is EUR 9000).  So, your profit will be affected by the number of popular matches of your favorite sport. So, if you watch just one sport and one good game every week, that would translate into at least EUR/USD 4 000 per month. 

Now, let's imagine you don't focus on basketball alone. You also enjoy football, rugby, tennis, snooker or whatever you like. Unless your desired baskteball game and tennis match run at the same time, you can easily double your profit to at least EUR/USD 8 000 per month. In our experience people usually focus on 2-3 sports.

But the thing is that you won't have good games every day or even every week. And sometimes the good games will overlap (your favorite basketball game simutaneously with your favorite football game). You therefore cannot make endless amounts of money. But with some discipline and willpower, making EUR/USD 20 000 a month is very realistic. If, however, you chill and trade bets only on one sports game once a week or so, you should still be able to make at least EUR/USD 4 000 a month easily.

Now about geography i.e., the place where you live and how that impacts your profit. Most relevant satellites orbit our planet closer to the equator. This means that if you live really far up north (such as northern Canada, Norway or Finland), some satellites might be difficult to access, especially if your antenna is placed on the ground and you have high trees within a 100 meter or so radius. But don't be discouraged. We even have partners from Lapland (northernmost Finland) and they seem to be doing just fine. What they have, however, reported is that sometimes they cannot see their desired sports event, but there are always alternatives.

Some people start making money within a day or two. But most people need on average a month. It will depend on a few factors:

• the first step is to complete the satBros.net courses. This is crucial as they will teach you how to intercept and decrypt satellite signals with relevant sports games. This is the key, no way around it. But completing satBros courses will take you no more than a day. Then comes step 2: implementation.
•  Implementation means actually intercepting and decrypting satellite signals yourself, not just knowing in theory how to do it. The good news is that satBros provides a beginner friendly step-by-step guide that only needs to be repeated, easier than assembling an Ikea chair. If you know your way around satellite antennas, have one already installed, implementation in your case might also take no more than a day. But if you don't have a satellite antenna installed and have little or no knowledge on how to do it, it might take a few weeks. You will have to acquire the hardware and then install it or rather hire someone to do it for you. This is where you will spend most time.
• The last step is to start trading bets. If you are already familiar with bet trading, you will start making money instantly.  Just imagine how easy it is when everyone else is blindly gambling, and you accept their bets already knowing the outcome. But if you are completely new to the scene, you will need a day or two to get things going. You too will actually start making money instantly, but not a lot as you will feel insecure and be cautios. You won't place a 100 dollar bet right away, you will start with symbolic amounts like a dollar or two just to get a taste of it. And then, unless you missclick, you will jump into the big league as you will see how simple and safe it actually is.

So, to sum it up, you will start making money instantly if you have previous experience and are no stranger to satellites, but newcomes will likely need a month or so.

This is a question we get asked later down the road. Often when it is already too late. Please do think about taxes right away and no later than when you start making your first money. Our sincerest recommendation is to consult a good local tax advisor, they will save you a fortune. Don't want to spend money on a tax advisor? Well, use your first profit to pay for it. You will make a lot more.

Some key points to keep in mind, especially to discuss with a local tax advisor:

• Even if you make money by trading bets and not actually gambling, in most if not all jurisdictions this income as far as taxation is concerned will be considered income from gambling. There are many implications from that.
• Taxation from gambling proceeds is usually simple like a fixed amount once per year when you file your tax returns. But there is also little flexibility in tax structuring.

Pay close attention to the following:

• Once money starts rolling in, you yourself are obliged to report and pay taxes. Whichever bookmaker/platform you use, they pay you the gross amount. Meaning that it is your responsibility to report income and pay taxes.
• Don't forget about taxes. This will not be the typical office job where your employer pays all your taxes and you get the net amount on your bank account. Most common mistake is prolonged ignorance of taxes. In many countries you can accumulate huge amounts on your bank account without any notice/reminder from tax authority. And when you buy something more expensive like a car or an appratment, the tax authority notices (both are usually registered goods monitored by tax authorities). And then you get a tax audit with back tax assessment, fines and so on.  
• In some jurisdictions income from gambling is taxed disregarding losses. Meaning that if you make 100 dollars one day and lose a 100 dollars the next day, you still have to pay taxes as if you won a 100 dollars. Sometimes this can be solved by registering yourself as a business for taxation purposes. Again, this is something you have to discuss with a local tax advisor. 
• We will have a 20-80 profit sharing agreement. You will pay us 20% from your income. It is important that these 20% are also deduced from your taxable income. Here too only your local tax advisor will be able to help.

Our recommendation is to print out these key points and go to a tax advisor to discuss them. You will be surprised how much money can be saved.   

Hold your horses. But yes, you probably should. We usually get this question during the hiring process when interviewing candidates. And we don't really know what to suggest because every one of us is in a very unique position, circumstances. But we have some insightful observations we feel might help you make a decision that’s right for you.

• When starting our cooperation, almost nobody quits their job (we get in touch once every month or so and discuss these things).
• Within 6 months pretty much everyone quits their job. It is simply psychologically impossible to work every day all day knowing that you make just a fraction of what you can and will make in the evening in a couple of hours trading bets.
• Many of our partners eventually start doing something again, but mostly some sort of self-employed business, pursue and monetize their hobbies, join some kind of enthusiast groups.

The thing is that you will have a lot of free time and enough money to afford more than ever. But it comes at a cost. You will feel lonely and somewhat isolated. Most people trade bets in the evenings and especially on weekends. Your social life will be turned completely upside down. When everyone else goes partying on Friday night, you will trade bets. And when everyone is occupied in their 9-5 day job, you will sit around not knowing what to do, probably watching TV or gaming for hours straight. On weekends you won’t be much available. On weekdays everyone else will be busy. Initially it is an awesome feeling especially if you are somewhat introverted. But we people are social animals after all. Most of us therefore do engage themselves into some sort of extra activities. Most prominent examples are joining groups of car tuning/restoration, wood/metal working, motorcycling, off-roading and even cooking enthusiasts. So, if your job already is something you enjoy doing and offers socializing, we would not recommend to quit it.

But there is the other side of the coin. Pretty much everyone regrets not quitting their job right away. Quite simply because being full-time employed not only slows things down, but on modern economy makes no sense. And once you make as fast and as much as you can make with us, you will with great disbelief look back at all the time wasted working your typical, financially pointless 9-5 job.
