They go to Canada as well if they are closer to that border, basically they can travel to Europe, get the medication they need or surgery they need, and go back to USA and they would still be fine. That is the end result of being the nation that spends the most money on healthcare and still being worse than almost anyone else in the world.

You can claim whatever you want for the reason, but the reason is that politicians do not want to fix it since it's a too big of a trouble to tackle. There are few like Bernie, but people never vote for those people so it ended up being something terrible for them like this, hence they will keep traveling for many more decades until they finally elect someone who will fix it.
People do things which is beneficial to them. And there is no harm in doing that - saving some extra buck
There are many local who does this in our country too.
They don't get their haircut abroad. They get their dental treatment when they come back for vacation.
This happens everywhere. You will always find people who will take such steps to get the treatments that serve them the best and that also don't become a burden on them due to the affordability. If someone can afford to do so, they go to a different country, and if they can't, they would at least go to a different city with better facilities and treatments for illnesses, etc.

Private hospitals and medical facilities charge a hell of a lot of money while government ones don't provide the best treatments or facilities to the patients, so they probably have no other option but to look for other places where they can get things done at lower prices.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The future of CBDC in gambling. on: March 26, 2023, 07:46:54 PM
If Casino's in Macau begin accepting CBDC's, It may prompt other casino's to follow suit especially in places where CBDC's already have the Legal Tender status.

Gambling Capital of the World Macau to accept CBDC as Legal tender
Since CBDC's are not really any different than FIAT, the casinos that don't accept FIAT won't accept CBDC's too. Fundamentally CBDC's and FIAT are both the same thing. If a casino gets into trouble for accepting FIAT or any players from the United States, that casino will experience the same problems if they accept CBDC's as deposits. I don't really see how CBDC are a game changer. Online crypto casino should stick to legit projects like BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC etc... They have already proven themselves and they work just fine. Just don't do any business with the govs and let them implode.
There's a big difference between them and that is CBDC run's in the blockchain (just like a typical crypto.) The other and most obvious one is CBDC is digital. Apart from CBDC we also have stable coins here in the world of crypto which have a characteristic same with the fiats. If a non-fiat casino or a crypto casino allows stable coins then why not CBDC?

Other crypto casino did even accept banks, visa cards and other payment methods which are close to fiats. CBDCs aren't a game changer anymore because we already saw what they can do in the stable coins but CBDC is considered legit too and they are in fact more trusted by the banks and governments than the standard cryptos that we have these days.
403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you love and enjoy taking risk? on: March 26, 2023, 04:01:31 AM
Some months a go, I was thinking altcoins may favour me since bitcoin is still unpredictable. I decided to invest my last cash at hand on luno, Eth, buying babe doggy, peg token and tron. I don't really understand how this things works when I bought it was all gloomy without bitcoin but in less than a week my money dried up.

What future do we really hope for altcoins without bitcoin?
Well, though it's sometimes become important to take risks to see what the outcome would be, it is not good to go very hard about it. Taking calculated risks should be enough to have an understanding of how different tokens and markets work and whether you can earn any profits from them or not if you were ever to invest larger sums on them.

Bitcoin is no doubt the king of the market, and almost every single altcoin follows its trail whether it goes up or comes down. So it is wiser if a person invests most of their capital in Bitcoin and only a small percentage in altcoins.
404  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xbit1.com - New 1xbit.com management - We will try to solve all the problems - on: March 25, 2023, 08:08:20 PM
What is happening here? scammer is accusing another scammer ? or at least attempting to scam people?

well this helps the community exposing this kind of stuff so both will be go against each other.

and also , Why posting here when there are so many questions in your own Ann thread?
They are more interested in clearing the false claims about their website and management so that new users who join don't go to another website to get scammed instead of clearing and resolving the issues of their previously scammed users and customers. Both OP and official representatives of 1xbit are in the wrong in here and should only be avoided by the members.

I really find it funny how they still come around depending themselves and their website to not to be trying to scam anyone while there are open and clear examples of what has happened with their customers in the past and they are yet to provide any proper explanations for that.
405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 25, 2023, 05:44:02 AM
It is a really unexpected and awkward decision at the same time. I mean why would you make a decision like this while you are still having a good season?

Tuchel has officially taken the job now. It is really difficult to understand because they are in a critical time period right now. They are in a title race not only in the Bundesliga but also in the Champions League. I don't know how quickly Tuchel can adapt to the team and develop the right strategies for their goals in this season. Of course he is very familiar with the Bundesliga but still he is managing this team for the first time. He is a solid manager so maybe it wouldn't take him a long time to do so.
Things looking really strange after this decision from the Bayern Munich management because he was doing good job even few results were not good but still they were in position to have better changes in coming days but now this uncertain decision can create feud in this team with new coach new strategy and less time with just after seven days we have big game against Borussia Dortmund and then two games against Manchester City which mean they have to do more than their limit for staying into hunt for these both games otherwise they can end without anything and this could be more than having something under old pal which was excellent in bad time and while they were badly suffering with few injuries which were bringing them down.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: March 24, 2023, 08:28:51 PM
There are lots of bets that are made when there is an election in a country and it doesn't only happen in the US but also in several countries out there, even the country where I live, there are always people who make bets when there is an election.
I don't know how to place bets on elections because I myself have never participated in this bet.
Maybe election betting will not only benefit the bettors but also the election candidates because with indirect betting there will be more and more people supporting them during the election.
But unfortunately in my country when there are elections and betting there are always debates and fights if the final results of the elections do not match expectations so I myself have the thought that betting on elections will actually get someone in trouble and therefore I am not interested in betting at all in the election even though what is at stake is the election in the US state.
You are right that people bet on elections in a lot of countries but I don't know why you are concerned about the debates and fights when you are betting online and not declaring that to anyone. You could only get in trouble if you are publicly opposing or supporting a party and the opposition can harm you in that situation but there should be no problem if you are betting online.

I also think that it is only wise to place bets on elections if you are up to date with the situations of the support each party is getting, that evaluation can give you a general idea as to which side has more support and can win unless there is corruption in the process.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Placing bet on WWE on: March 24, 2023, 07:09:01 PM
Let's suppose the WWE fights are fixed and they are just simulations but the general public does not know who will win the fight. So for us, it is just a fight where the result is unknown and we can place the bet. There is no advantage to the people betting on WWE as they do not know the results in advance.
Yeah, if someone insider knows about it and places the bet accordingly then for sure he or she can make easy money. Also if you know someone that works in WWE and knows what's going to happen, you may also want to take advantage of this.
I believe that the main reason why most bookies especially the most popular ones don't allow betting or wrestling matches is that they can be easily cheated knowing that wrestling matches are scripted from start to finish, it is just like a drama series which is totally written and scripted but the audience doesn't know what will happen next so they watch it with so much interest.

Sports betting platforms understand the risk of allowing placing bets on wrestling matches, and that can cause them a lot of money if someone from the inside places bets on matches with big amounts as they already know the result of the matches.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 24, 2023, 06:38:19 PM
There's something I understand about affiliate marketing or referral program is you don't have to stress yourself that much, all you needs to do is just share your codes in a well known telegram or twitter. There are some referrals which I won't advise you to join or even go about such as those telegram from bounty's they are much stress at last will end wasting your time with just a common bot that will keep telling you to ref more 5 person to be able claim your rewards.
Well, it's not really as easy as you are describing it, I believe gaining referrals require a lot of work at the beginning, and the work must be done in the right manner or it will only waste your time and you will gain nothing at all. You also need to make sure that the referrals that sign up under you are active ones and aren't just those who create accounts and then abandon them.

It's true that once you got a decent amount of referrals, you won't need to stress yourself out after that, but the initial work is pretty stressful and time-consuming. Also, gone are the days when sharing the link used to get you referrals, now a days, you need to use different techniques to achieve that.
409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Word of encouragement for Bitcoin investors on: March 23, 2023, 04:40:30 PM
I think you are advising yourself out loud and hoping at the same time to give advice to someone too. You need to hold and take your advice very seriously because in this keeping of bitcoins there is no certified professional in it. You can be really strong at heart with the determination to keep your bitcoins for as long as possible, but along the way, some series of events, maybe personal or influenced by external demands may break you and make you choose to make sales. These events do not always have to be negative events, some positive events can also make one loosen up a bit in their deterination to keep their bitcoins without using it.
To be honest, as far as I remember, I've always seen it going the opposite way, where the rich gets richer while the poor become needier for even the basic necessities and finds it difficult to provide for their family. The reason for that is probably because we all know that money makes money, so if you have money, you can always start a business and start earning extra money.

On the other hand, if you are poor, you will definitely have no access to such tools and opportunities, so it becomes almost impossible for you to improve your financial condition and become more than what you currently are.
410  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: March 23, 2023, 11:59:12 AM
Although I won't deny the possibility that this news was originally shared in order to exploit psychological flaws and encourage people to think about gambling and, therefore, gamble more, I don't think that it is just a fabrication. It is improbable, but possible, that this kind of big wins and losses happen from time to time, specially taking into account that a few millionaires like to gamble ridiculously high amounts of money for the shake of fun.

Here is an example that changed my mind and may help you change yours too: I used to consider that reality shows were totally orchestrated, scripted, until I realised that, if I was the manager of the television producer, it would be much easier for me to find people who already were the way I wanted, rather than hire actors to perform the way I wanted.

That said, it is much easier to find a unique case of a 1.4 million loss in order to create a discussion on gambling, rather than "fabricate" it to encourage discussion.
You are probably right that it is very easy to find people losing that big amounts these days, especially millionaire celebrities, etc. I remember reading a news recently where the pop star and official partner of Stake.com had lost a bet amounting more than $250k on a boxing match, and I read that he had lost many such bets, some even higher than $400k.

So it is probably true that millionaires that can afford to lose such amounts wouldn't bother or think twice before placing such bets, they also win at times but only the lost bets are surpassed and the general public would barely see the wins.
411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: this is, how easy it is to scam people on: March 23, 2023, 11:06:56 AM
his world is full of cruel people and no one knows that a person in front of you is telling a lie or truth, no one can trust anyone. Do you know that the lady who ask you about bitcoin is telling a lie or truth? May be she is asking this but in reality she knows each and everything about it.

Perhaps she is asking for help because ladies are not so brilliant to get the point. If someone is asking for help then guiding is not bad thing because a person can scam you only when you share your keys with him.
I totally understand and respect your ethics and values, but in pure sanity and consciousness, I would like to let you know that this a new way that these scammers have found to scam new users and take advantage of their naivety where they start thinking that they are actually big and experienced while the person asking from the front is just a dumb user.

But mostly, those users who are acting dumb and trying to convince you that they no nothing and also ask you to follow a certain person or join a group that they joined and learned and earned a lot.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: March 22, 2023, 08:40:54 PM
Earned decent profits by predicting the outright winners of the test and ODI series between India and Australia. Australia's performance in the test series made it easier to predict who would win the ODI series.

They are the frontrunners for the World Cup later on this year followed by India in my opinion.
After losing first two test matches of this series Australia done good comeback in this tour and have won 1 test with last one was ended in draw and now won their ODI series things looking good for them just because of this I believe Australians are the best learners in sports world as they are also able to fix their problems quickly which is good for them and spirit of the game as well.

Now I also have no doubt about this they could be front-runner for upcoming world cup and most chances they will be done this all in their own style because they are doing good in their last three tours of subcontinent with win in Pakistan draw in Sri Lanka and now good win in India.
413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: March 22, 2023, 03:12:48 PM
I don't think Napoli will beat AC Milan in this round because, AC Milan players will not allow Napoli players to have that chance they had in the Italian league game to scored those goals that gave them victory in this game. If what all those 3 teams are performing in the Italian league competition can perform it in the UEFA champions league quarterfinal, I guess AC Milan and Inter will meet for final because the two coach will like to use all their strength and energy to beat their opponent to qualify for final.
Here all things going into favor of Napoli as they are currently leaders in Serie A with healthy lead and no chance for any team to challenge them with this now Napoli quarter-final is also bonus just because of their performance in this season and AC Milan which is defending champions in Serie A with having good performance in early rounds of this season but now are on back foot with their performance; now they are at fourth in league table.

These two teams are going to play against each other three times in April with 2nd April Serie A game at Naples, and then we have second game at San Siro Milan on 13th April thing looking easy for the Napoli but as we all now Champions League is completely unpredictable game with any upset can happen in any match against any team, so these matches are going to be not easy for the both teams with still most chances Napoli is going to win them because of their consistency and quality in this season and most chances having good chance for the final spot.
414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 22, 2023, 06:51:03 AM
the chance for bayern munich to win the next match against Dortmund at the allianz arena is quite wide open because playing at home will be a good enough capital to dominate the match. Previously, Choupo Moting absence seemed to really be felt by the Bayern Munich squad because Choupo Moting became an important player for Bayern Munich to beat their opponents.

In the match against Dortmund, it was confirmed that Choupo Moting could not play because he had not fully recovered from the injury he had experienced. so Sadio Mane will be the main choice for Nagelsmann for the front line to pair with Muller in this match. hope that Sadio Mane will be able to return to his best form by successfully scoring goals in every match he plays.
Choupo-Moting's absence is surely going to hurt them he is currently good player who can hold the front of the team for having enough success but his absence and Sadio Mané performance creates problem for them in past as well now they are going to play most important game of this season if they won then surely this could be the title decider for them with Borussia Dortmund could be stayed at the second spot but in case of lost things could be completely out of their control with Borussia Dortmund will be having four points lead and their current form is also good which will give them good chance for the title as well.

Currently, Nagelsmann boys are hot favorite for the title and match, but they have to be at their best for this match because Dortmund current performance is also good, and they are going to play fearless game this time for the title.

How to go from poor to millionaire fast in crypto?
in my opinion it's possible to get rich quickly from crypto, there are some people buying coins memes to thousands of percent profit from coins for example shiba inu has gone up to 1,475.97% from its all time low but we have to do research before buying these coins, remember crypto high risk high returns.
There are a few things about tokens that grow a hundred folds to make people millionaires, they either don't happen to exist very often or even if they do, it is very difficult to identify them and invest early. Now you can't invest in every other token out there only in the hope that one of them will explode, which will make you lose a lot of money.

If it was so easy to become a millionaire in crypto, everyone would have been doing that. Getting early into a token that explodes in the future is only for the lucky people as it is just like gambling on a project that you just think might give you good returns.
416  Economy / Gambling / Re: they are scamming us? on: March 21, 2023, 05:44:12 PM
So any facts found in the gambling system according to the OP's statement are based on video reviews from YouTube, but we agree with your discussion above that we place gambling only as entertainment and not passive income, so we choose sports gambling because pure winnings are determined based on match scores and not from the casino system.
Yes, but bookmakers sometimes cheat, as well as the sports clubs themselves involved in match-fixing, you can also lose your money in sports betting as well as in online casino slot machines, provided that you really strive for a quick income.

Well, of course, if you do it moderately and under the mood, then yes, it can be fun.
You will definitely lose the money that you are destined to lose, no matter what you do, and if you are supposed to win, you will win even if there is an attempt to cheat by the bookmaker or anyone. We all know and understand that sports betting is more dependent on research and analysis than luck, but we also know that it is a part of gambling, and there is no win in gambling if there's no luck at all.

I think a bookmaker who cheats will eventually be out of business as they can't really hide that forever, and once they get success in cheating, they will definitely do it multiple times again and will be caught sooner or later. And the teams or clubs that get involved in match-fixing are also ruined slowly because we have seen in the past that no cheater can hide in the dark forever and they will have to be exposed some day.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: March 21, 2023, 03:24:29 PM
sports matches are indeed different from casino gambling, where there may be greater opportunities in sports betting as long as we have proper research before choosing the team we will place bets on. every time doing research on sports betting, it's like closer to our luck to win the game.

but from all the predictions made and from all the research done, don't forget that sports betting always brings unexpected surprises.
It is obviously not completely predictable and the end result will still depend on an individual's luck. One should always keep in mind that the outcome can always go against them even if the odds of losing are just 1% because we have seen that happening in the past. It is just best if a person just realizes that, accepts whatever the outcome is, and moves on with it.

The only thing is sports betting that gives a person a little bit of advantage is if they do some research and analysis, that will increase their chances of winning a bet, but even after that, there is no guarantee and as you said, the result can always surprise you.
418  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Suggestions About Investment in new projects on: March 21, 2023, 03:23:04 AM
Obviously, the topic was created to shill a specific project Smiley

It is possible and necessary to invest in new projects if you want to get the most out of your investment. It is no secret that new projects bring the highest interest to their investors, if they have time to fix their profits and do not get greedy. As for this project, I would not invest in it. This is not investment advice, but only my subjective opinion. I do not know any successful project with the learn-to-earn business model, all of them, sooner or later, will die because of the lack of liquidity and the flow of new money into the ecosystem.
You are probably right that OP is shilling the project that he provided a link for and in my honest opinion, a project that requires such shilling never really deserves investing in. If a project is genuine and has a notable cause and products and services that serve a purpose and has something to offer to their investors and users, they would use normal marketing techniques to advertise their project, not like this.

Projects that have nothing else than a pump-and-dump token that they utilize to collect money through ICO investors will always have something that shows their reality. It is just that a person evaluating the project should have a keen eye for detail.
419  Economy / Economics / Re: Has anyone felt lost in pursuit of financial freedom ? on: March 20, 2023, 05:55:45 PM
have you thought about the losses in exchange for the material gains ? When you barely make ends meet, you'll bust yourself to make more money; when you actually make a lot of money, you'll find yourself in a position that is either stressful or boring. I wonder the purpose of making money can be easily distorted and sometimes we tend to lose ourselves in pursuit of money, instead of happiness. Just a fleeting thought, no big deal.
Well, I think it depends on every individual's personal choices and ways of how they see and chase their dreams. It is true that we spend the most precious times of our lives in pursuit of money and wealth, and when we achieve that, we already have missed a lot of beautiful moments and times of our lives with our loved ones.

But, that's what a man has to do unless they inherit the wealth from their ancestors and live their lives only nurturing and increasing it so that they can live their life easier. We never have a lot of choices when it comes to either earning money or living our lives with our loved ones. We can barely choose the later since we have to earn to live life.

It is not easy for psg in the Champions league. The champions league is the toughest league you can think  of. PSG is leading the French league because their are no strong teams that can challenge PSG.
The champions has many strong teams competing to get the championship.
in the champions league, PSG is the favorite team to win, but seeing the quality of their performance in the last few matches, I doubt they will be able to win the champions league, the thing that really doesn't make sense to me is because they were beaten by Rennes twice this year just. that means rennes is a stronger team than PSG, totally unexpected.
It's time for wake up because PSG is already eliminated by Bayern Munich from the Champions League, and now they are having just Ligue 1 title to win while their lost at home against Rennes is surely shocking for the fans and many punters because I read on different social media channels many put their money just because they feel this is free money but star-studded PSG were not able to score any goal and then give good win to visitors in presence of Messi and Mbappé here players body language is clearly showing things are not good at PSG, and we can expect good changes in coming days because management is also not happy with this start studded team which fail to give them good results in all competitions.
