I thought I did not see right when I saw your Thread Title

>please think before supporting or opposing a scam accusation<

How comes that you are supporting/defending 2 Scammers? Are you for real?

Guys you can spare any aggressive attacks or foul language. This is a serious discussion and a very good title but sadly created by the wrong one

Umm... two scammers... who? On the link you provided, it's rather clear that --coming from the seemingly impaired and dented logic of yours-- the scammer is blackjack.fun. But here, on this thread? Who exactly do you refer as a scammer that BGC defended? GekkeBelg? The casino? Which casino?

Now, regarding GekkeBelg, I've been silent and observing this thread from a corner for quite some time. I personally think this is unfair for BGC, as I am the one who asked him a follow-up about his investigation and [I believe] I made him publish this thread.

To lay it out in the open, I am in a very tight position.

As stated on my last [and only] post here, I reached to GekkeBelg and exchanged one or two PMs regarding this [and his absence from this thread]. I am not sure how much liberty I have to brush this topic without violating the confidentiality entailed a PM, how much can I say without him considering me violating the private nature of the information he gave me, and I've been mulling over the best approach to address this issue ever since.

So I think the best approach will be to disregard everything and start new.

I think, I can safely say that GekkeBelg is a value bettor, he made it known on one occasion,

[...]I will admit that when I am betting, I have about 5 sportsbooks open at the same time, and whenever I like a certain bet I do a quick lookaround among those 5 and I place the bet at the sportsbook where the odds are the highest at that moment. This is completely normal and fair behaviour and it's the same as buying your bread at the cheapest bakery out of the 2 bakeries which are located next to each other. [...]

though on other [earlier] cases, he denied such practice

[...]
As I said, I have been an active customer there for 11 months and always used the same betting style. I am not doing value betting, whatever that may be. I simply watch the NBA and MLB games and when I feel like a team is going to win I place the bet, just like any other gambler would do. And why was my betting style never a problem when I was losing so much? And now one good run is suddenly not acceptable for them? Even when I am in a big minus altogether over the lifetime of my account, they simply decide to steal my own money. If I am doing "value betting" for 11 months over a sample of about 2000 bets in total, how can it be that I am not even in the plus? How much bigger proof do they need that this is not "value betting"?

Do casinos prohibit this strategy? Well, as several users already mentioned here, no. At least not those who had conflict with GekkeBelg. I take a quick stroll on those casinos and can't find value betting on their ToS or sports-rules [I am currently reaching some casinos' representatives to get a better understanding of their view on this, just to be sure] with exception of WinTomato who explicitly describe they prohibit this strategy.

Does that automatically translates that GekkeBelg is, WinTomato aside, innocent here? I say, "no".

As many people know [at least those who has the privilege to experience adulthood], we live in the massive gray, it is not a simple yes or no, he's wrong so she's right, there are many shades in between, and this is where GekkeBelg resides.

He had/has experience with casinos. Plural. He probably experimented on them, see who tolerate his strategy and who won't; looking for those who will limit him, those who will refund his money and lock the door behind his back, and those who take a bold action and refuses his winning.

It's suffice to say he understand that, although it is not against rules, casinos are very much against this practice. And he pushed his luck by trying every casino, hopping from one to another. There even a slight probability that he weaponized it, upon learning that casinos are prohibiting the practice from WinTomato [the one who happen to have the rule on their ToS], he made sure to check every casinos he played doesn't specify this on their ToS, so when it's used against him, his situation is bulletproof.

Is that wrong? Umm, I'll say that's actually clever and that's how ToS should be used.

But are those ethical and acceptable? Well, I'll leave this to every individual to decide.

I personally think that this thread has served its purpose, to inform us that there is more than meet the eye with GekkeBelg. He's sharp and knows his way around. So next case with him, [note to self] it's probably a good idea to touch it with one-meter-long pole and a healthy pinch of salt.

Unless... if LM is in the mood of spilling some tea, though... I am readying my pen and notebook. LOL.
