To me it was a scam, but you of course you have your own point of view, you can just invest in the next great thing like it that comes along, maybe you will get rich, who knows?
Yes casinos are scams because the odds are completely one way, I play video poker, I know I will most probably lose, on the other hand BitConnect was portrayed as an investment, you'll never hear a casino say come and invest your money here, we guarantee you an income stream.
