This just proves that betting is a racket. Any genuine attempt to play by actually understanding the real likelihood results in being banned 😂

Gambling companies should have licensees removed for banning profitable accounts.
It’s disgusting that they can simply target gambling addicts.

When I read the title, I thought this was going to focus on governments or something trying to stop educated people from wasting money by gambling. Didn't expect this, to be honest.

On one particular website about card counting, I raised the point of order that card counting is in fact not "illegal" in the widely understood comprehension of what represents something that can be criminally prosecuted. Gaming houses can have someone who is caught card counting removed from their premises... But it cannot be for card counting.

They violate the rules the gambling houses set. The rules being "no winning, only losing."

They should just make it illegal to restrict based on wins, that would make market forces drive these companies and predatory practices out of business
