My advice for putting money on ICO is: do your research.

• First and the most important - read the whitepaper (is it copy-paste code, or they have some great idea, innovation?)
• Second - read news, blogs, everything you can find, do not stop on first google page, but go to fifth, sixth.
• Third - look at founders - what is their experience, how many project they have managed or participated?
• Forth - Ask! on twitter, on steemit, ask founders (Linkedin), ask anybody who can help (something about asking https://steemit.com/life/@cryptogirl1/the-power-of-asking)

And than wait for a day or two. If you have a good feeling, and you are convinced that coin has perspective put some money on it.
