I was also going to drop $100 as a gambling investment as well, but decided against it after crunching the numbers. Your $140 investment would have returned more from buying and holding bitcoin unfortunately. Also, you would not have to worry about exit scammers. Good point regarding the exchange being owned by Bitconnect - another red flag and risk on exit.

Good luck with your investment. Hopefully it turns profit so you can move on to something less risky. Cheers!
