 - If the service does not have enough funds for placing a bet, you will see an `Event.INSUFICIENT_FUNDS` in the service logs.
-- If the service determines that a bet is not profitable (i.e., `expected_return - bet_fees < BET_THRESHOLD`), you will see an `Event.UNPROFITABLE` in the service logs, and the service will transition into the blacklisting round. This round blacklists a bet for a predetermined amount of time. This can be adjusted by using the `BLACKLISTING_DURATION` environment variable.
