The most painful lessons can be the ones we remember longer.
I’ve been there and done that, just when you thought you had a winning system, Boom Account was blown, In my case.
some people have a winning system and blow their account do to overleveraging.
Right. You don’t need a new system, the problem could be as simple as risk management.
And changing strategies won’t fix that either.

Wearing jewelry and nice watches are great. But you gotta be careful.
I’ve recently heard stories about how people get robbed coming out of a restaurant, and it was one of the bar tenders or waiters who tipped off gang members about the customer.
@SmallPaul @Paul_J7 @Nick1864 Any suggestions on how to be safe in such situations?
Unawareness of being set up by those around you, including bartenders, is a genuine experience; if you possess wealth, this is the sole method

Damn!
But what if you aren’t at that level yet?
You have enough money to treat yourself well and wear a few nice trinkets. But not enough to hire bodyguards.
Then what?
There is no definitive answer to that question; safeguard yourself at all times, including keeping your head lowered and giving the robbers what they desire. Occasionally, you must prioritize your own life to survive another day.
At some point, it’s either your existence or the material things you possess, which holds greater significance to you.
Good point. People get hurt in real life.
Perhaps prevention is the best medicine. If you’re going to be flashy, choose your events carefully.
Simple solution: tip the waiter extra so they don’t sell you out. Double protection)
Or, the server receives a large tip from you and yet betrays you to the criminals; most of the servers who betray you are in collusion with the thugs and have engaged in this act numerous times in the past, your tip means nothing to them.
Or they already tipped off the bad guys an hour ago when you were ordering drinks at the beginning of your meal. It would be too late to call it off.
I agree that those people would have no loyalty to you.
If they’re the kind of people informing bad guys that their customers have money or jewelry or nice cars, they have no guilt or emotions about what happens to you.
You could get mugged, shot, and left bleeding across the street from the restaurant and they wouldn’t care.
Safeguard your constitutional rights, do not bend or break.

So, what should be done in such situations?
Either hire protection or have protection on you, if you are in a no-win situation. it’s either your existence or the material things you possess, which holds greater significance to you.
