### Comment:
Can you explain how illegal gambling syndicates operate?

### REPLY:
Illegal gambling syndicates operate by recruiting individuals who have access to inside information or can manipulate the outcome of the games. These individuals may include athletes, referees, or other officials involved in sports events. The syndicates use this information to place bets and generate profits. They also use advanced technology and encryption methods to hide their activities from law enforcement agencies. The syndicate members communicate through encrypted messaging apps and use offshore bank accounts for money laundering purposes.
