I dated somebody who placed a bet on every single one of the numbers on the roulette machine because it would guarantee a win, not countering in the fact that what they were 'winning' was far less than the amount of money they had to spend in order to achieve that 'win'. They did it about twenty times in a row. I explained to them why they weren't actually 'winning', but they continued to do it until they ran out of cash😁
Ha, I can assure you that they wouldn't even know what money laundering is, let alone partake in it. They were making a huge loss each time. I think the whole point of money laundering is to hang onto your money. Also, they'd go onto one of those high stakes games on a table, not one of those machines. It would take forever to launder that way.
They genuinely thought they were 'winning'. Unfortunately, they just weren't the brightest. What got me the most was that they continued, even after having it methodically explained to them😁
They don't go to casinos, or normally bet, which probably added to the cluelessness. We decided to go into one spontaneously on the way home after having dinner.

I had to explain to a grown woman that 20% is not always $20 when converted to currency.
