If you were in my shoes how will you feel.

You should also ask what if he had lost? If he didn't have any money to bet, he certainly wouldn't have any to pay you back. Saying no was your choice, and if you really didn't have the money to lend, there's no arguing. True friends understand, and this only shows he's not your friend.

Weak-minded people who lack a sense of responsibility will always blame others for their own "defeats"...

If the event doesn't guarantee a 100% win, it's a gamble. If it's guaranteed, it's a scam. Cheesy

Joking aside, even if the odds are 90%, it's still a gamble. You'll still have 10% against you, and I don't advise anyone to bet a very large amount, even in such a case.

There's a saying that says exactly what's written in the topic title. I believe that besides being better, it's also cheaper. Brazilians already bet R$20 billion per month on digital platforms, and the number of people treated for gambling addiction has increased 206% in three years here, in addition to workers being laid off and receiving financial assistance due to this addiction. Imagine the cost to the government.

5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Geo-restriction in some slot games on: September 27, 2025, 12:56:30 AM
I was trying to play some new slot games yesterday in one of the popular casino, I noticed I was not allowed to play with the noticed that it was not available for people from my region. I was curious because there is hardly any form of gambling restriction in my country, so I trued another casino and the same thing happened. That was what prompted me to create this post.
 
What could be the reason some slot games are not available for people from certain country or region?

I believe it could also be due to regulatory issues with the provider itself. Does this block only apply to a specific game, or do all of that provider's games not work in your region? I haven't experienced this yet. I've never had any issues accessing games, but I have with some casinos, as they aren't authorized to operate in my country. Where I live, we don't have such prohibitive regulations regarding gambling.

7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Data-Free Betting in Africa – Free Internet for Gambling? on: September 27, 2025, 12:09:16 AM
It's a tremendously clever marketing move by casinos; what they spend on this will be offset by bets made on their own sites. Here in Brazil, we have public Wi-Fi on the streets and busiest places. I don't think it's safe to use for financial purposes, such as gambling or banking, as it's not a secure network. But it's a possibility if the gambler doesn't have a balance with their phone provider. I believe it would attract a large audience here!

For me, it's a great marketing strategy. I don't see it as exploitative; it's an initiative no one had thought of before. To say it's negative would be hasty, it is necessary to wait to see the results of this action.

Isso me lembrou o Pix. Será útil desde que não seja usada para dar mais golpes ainda, o que sabemos que acontecerá. Toda funcionalidade que vem para proteger o "usuário" é bem-vinda, como disse o velhoti, usa quem quer e quem não quiser é só não usar. É uma moeda controlada por uma corporação, a decisão final será somente deles. Continuarei usando quando for conveniente usá-la, não criticarei o mecanismo de reversão, pois não sei se um dia poderei precisar dele… Grin
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Not Selling Like Before on: September 26, 2025, 07:20:39 PM
On the contrary, I believe Bitcoin is selling more than ever, especially now that it has become a reserve asset in some countries and has attracted greater interest from large investment firms, in addition to the creation of ETFs and increased media exposure. Clear evidence is that it is reaching a new high, only possible with high buying volume.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there any possibility of saving money when handling a project? on: September 26, 2025, 07:09:53 PM
Often, they can use the money they've saved only as collateral. Depending on the project, it's possible to raise funds from investors, or specific loans for the industrial or business sector (in Brazil, we have a bank dedicated to this purpose). If someone wants to use their own resources, they should spend wisely, with maximum objectivity to maintain enough to complete the project. Saving at this point isn't a priority; otherwise, it would be better not to start.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Regulations of Crypto currency; a protection or barrier tool? on: September 26, 2025, 06:59:54 PM
Regulation may be beneficial to some extent, but it restricts the freedom that cryptocurrencies are supposed to provide. With so many rules imposed, it will be practically equal to fiat currency, which will make it lose its purpose. It also alienates those who would benefit most, the "unbanked."

I believe it needs to be done, but with great caution, so as not to transform cryptocurrencies into just another "regular and controlled currency" (I know it's decentralized, but they could create a way to do that; they always find a way). Roll Eyes
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we focusing on the wrong market in crypto? on: September 25, 2025, 07:11:52 PM
In the current scenario, the daily use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, except in specific cases as mentioned, is minimal. Most investors buy to hold, hoping for a further price rise (speculation). This ultimately denies cryptocurrencies their true usefulness and function. Those who have to "spend" them to survive are actually missing out on this opportunity for appreciation. I speak from personal experience, as I only manage to save a small portion of what I earn, not only from signature but also from my work as a translator.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How easy it is to be addicted to gambling? on: September 25, 2025, 06:52:39 PM
It's not that it's easy to become addicted, but I think some people are more prone to addictions in general. It's very important to observe how much of your time and money gambling is taking up. If you notice yourself putting casinos ahead of your priorities, like work, family, or friends, or if gambling becomes your priority, there's a good chance you're addicted. I believe that when gambling becomes more important than anything else, and you do everything to make money for it, addiction has already set in. No one becomes addicted overnight; it starts slowly, once a week, then three times a week. Before you know it, you'll be gambling daily, any time of day, anywhere (if you realize it).
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the characteristics of choosing a gambling site? on: September 25, 2025, 05:13:53 PM
I value human support in chat. I don't feel respected being served only by bots. Sure, they're extremely helpful for simple questions, but not for more complex ones. If I find a casino on the forum, I check to see if the people in charge are active here too. Even if they have some issues, as with all companies, the ability, and willingness to resolve them are also important.
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are you a crypto investor and also a gamer on: September 25, 2025, 02:14:49 PM
I have two computers. One of them is used exclusively for gaming, and I don't download torrents anymore. I used to download games; nowadays, even with these reported issues regarding insecurity, I still prefer Steam, Epic Games, and GOG. I've never had any problems, but it seems like it's best to keep an eye on things; you never know when an attack like this might occur.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hot and Cold number in Roulette are you tracking them down or no? on: September 25, 2025, 12:47:10 PM
I don't use strategy to bet on roulette, as any strategy is invalid when it relies solely on luck, as is the case with roulette (personal opinion). I like to bet on the range of numbers, black or red, and I rarely choose a single number. That's how I like to bet, and I even have some considerable winnings.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: the system is backwards on: September 24, 2025, 10:59:56 PM
The rich pay taxes, and they pay a lot. Here in Brazil, the taxes levied on business owners, for example, are what prevent many hirings and often even compromise business growth. What can happen are deductions in the tax amounts that must be paid if donations are made to charity, public-private partnerships, or participation in government programs.

It's a way to pit the rich against the poor and vice versa. Depending on a company's revenue and tax regime, the tax rate can reach 30%. For individuals, the tax rate can reach 27.5%. Some companies, known as MEI (individual microentrepreneurs), fall under a tax regime with a fixed monthly rate, not a percentage, but a fixed amount.

In Brazil, there's no such thing as not paying taxes, except for those earning less than the minimum wage, who are exempt.

Note: I used entrepreneurs as an example because it is their businesses that generate the wealth they have.
19  Economy / Gambling / Re: No KYC Crypto Casino launch on: September 24, 2025, 09:26:54 PM
A free balance in your account is always nice. I just think the way it was announced is too vague. Even if it launches next month, isn't there any more detailed information? After all, there's always a business plan for launching a business. Especially when it comes to a casino, where gamblers will have to trust you with their money...

Early access may not be public - it can be private and access is sent via private message. The goal is to test the site or casino - again this is my version.

Your consideration makes perfect sense. But I still think more information, images, and perhaps even a public testing environment, an MVP, could be shared.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Horoscope and tarot readings on: September 24, 2025, 06:52:14 PM
I used to look at horoscopes for other purposes, but I remember they always came with a few numbers, like a lottery prediction. I never tried it. In fact, I stopped believing in horoscope predictions and psychics a long time ago. It's funny how people resort to any and every means to get confirmation about their decisions, but rarely to common sense... Grin
