a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,
b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?
Gambling alone gave you the best shot at winning. Which is the second option where you have to do the analysis and strategies yourself than depending on others to do it off you. If they have the wrong codes you also lose and more often than not those codes cannot be trusted. How do you even trust to best on a code from another person? It is a very poor risk management strategy.
