A tribunal of honor against scammers from the Heroes community.

Please watch the video; you'll understand a lot.
Here's another video, generally about betting and bookmakers, from a well-known figure in certain circles, DOCHI. A former builder, now a businessman, and seemingly the only one who actually runs a business and shares a lot of information about how business is conducted in Russia.

P.S. The video is 4 minutes long, but it's very concise.
Do you still have questions about betting and bookmakers?

What exactly should I understand? That bookmakers make money at the expense of players? Well, you have to be an idiot not to understand that. But every business makes money at the expense of its customers; does that mean every business should be considered a scam?

I don't know anything about 1xbet, but if they really block accounts and don't pay out winnings, then that's terrible, and advertising such a bookmaker is shameful.
But many bookmakers operate honestly and make money through the margin (which is initially included in the odds). So, it's wrong to equate bookmakers with scammers.
