You should choose good project, not all ICOs are scams and not all projects are good, so you should make some research. If you will be able to find right project, most probably you will get profit.
that's right.. I use ICObench to filter good ICOs, but it's not really that reliable since it can still recommend bad projects and I have no idea why. Soon, I'll be using Menlo One. Has anyone heard of it and its features? It doesn't seem like people have taken much notice of this project but I honestly think this is one is different (in a good way) from other ICO platforms.
This is a link to an interview with Menlo's CEO where he discusses about the project in detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o&feature=youtu.be
