Anybody running seo for black keyword?

Since working on seo targetting Asia countries, keywords related to gambling are illegal for some countries (but not all of those are all blocked by the gov except China).

I'm not sure how many guys feel the same way of stress.

Those keywords of course don't have much idea of white method (can't find any authority sites, of course none in the same language)

All the link profiles of competitors are just a pure mess with dirty abused link with tons of quantity, c&b strategies all over the SERP.

What would you choose for your plan to join this game?

Is the strategy working well for your competitors? If so, do the same, but do it better!
Having done some work for gambling-related sites in Asia I didn't really see any sort of 'white-hat' approach one can take without very deep pockets.

That's where I'm getting all my stress from. Hard to find some patterns of them.
Good to hear you having some experience in the same area. Did you just try to copy the 1st , 2nd competitor and do more?
I mean, i think that seo is that a matter of listing the answers of each part(link,optimizing,contents), which means i think that even if i can make a site just same as my competitor's it could not be ranked. (well, maybe it's because it's impossible to make it all the same...)
Pleasure if you can share your experience for me with some advice

It's not an area I'm directly involved in any more, but the main thing I saw was that the spam needs to be aggressive. If something seems a bit too 'dark' for you (remote upload vulnerabilities etc) then someone else will do it and get the benefit.
