I understand @Ultegra134, and unfortunately there is not much I can say in my defense... because I simulated some posts on GPTZero and it really does indicate some use of AI even in posts in Brazilian Portuguese, and they go up to 100% or almost that after translation :/
I searched for similar cases and found articles saying that this is a chronic problem in texts by non-native English speakers and automatically translated, suggesting that AI detection may not be completely reliable in this case, but I do not want to use this as an excuse or take away from your work.

I think the way I am conjugating the sentences is being misunderstood, I can try to deepen my posts more, with more depth on the topic and somehow see if I can engage more with the responses, because I almost always make a comment on another user's post, and you can be sure... all my posts are the result of my own effort and understanding of the topics I am responding to.

There's not much more to say, just thank you for bringing this case to light, and I'm committed to improving.
And again, if you have any specific suggestions on how I can improve, I'm open to suggestions... I confess that I need to review the translations, because sometimes I just translate and post them here, without even reviewing... even if my understanding of English is poor, I should be able to improve the writing with a quick review.

Hello!

First of all, I must say that I have great respect for your efforts in finding and reporting users who spam the forum.

However, I would like to know what your criteria were for considering my posts as spam.

I would like to tell you that I am not a native English speaker, in fact I have some difficulty writing in English and because of this I use Google Translate to convert my texts in the area where English is required and therefore the quality of my posts can be somewhat incomprehensible at times.

In any case, I always create content that is as rich and reliable as possible and I would appreciate if you could send me feedback that could help me grow, after all my reputation is something I am very proud of and I am very interested in resolving this issue.

Not even 1 merit? I was hurt
I know that this is kind of explicit given the forum area where the topic is open, but perhaps it's nice to highlight this information in the OP!

Anyway, I understand that the purpose of the topic is to encourage new users to run a node, and I am also happy to have completed the challenge, I will certainly continue running the node as long as I can.

Congratulations, @NotATether, for your commitment and dedication to making this challenge work.

To precisando de uma esmola, ultimamente estou pobre...
Confesso que to com medo de levar aquele soco no estômago pra cair na realidade de que estou postando mais na aba Gambling do que coisas úteis por aqui.

Pra tentar compensar, estou tentando atiçar o debate criand oalguns tópico sobre notícias interessantes que leio... eu sempre leio muita notícia cripto mas até então a preguiça me impedia de compartilhar isso por aqui, vou tentar mudar isso. Por enquanto, agradeceria se puder avaliar e ser digno de seus merits aqui:

Fold listada na Nasdaq... um passo gigante para o Bitcoin!

Mais um esquema de cripto golpe desmantelado... e olha que operação!

Eu sei... to precisando maneirar no uso de reticências também...

Isso me deixou tão animado quanto a recente alta do Bitcoin... A Fold, uma plataforma de pagamentos em Bitcoin, acaba de dar um passo histórico ao listar suas ações na Nasdaq que é uma das maiores bolsa de valores do mundo.

eles com certeza festejaram muito, mas acho que essa é uma vitória pra todo mundo, é m marco importante para todo o ecossistema cripto, pois imagina só: uma empresa cujo principal foco é facilitar pagamentos com Bitcoin agora está sendo reconhecida no mercado financeiro tradicional.... isos mostra que as cripto não são só mais um "ativo especulativo" mas sim uma solução prática para o uso diário.

Isso é algo que muitos de nós sempre defendemos... precisamos usar o Bitcoin no dia a dia (por mais que eu e muitos sejam holders raiz, kkkk).

Mas e aí, o que vocês acham? Será que veremos mais empresas de criptomoedas seguindo esse caminho e conquistando espaço nas grandes bolsas de valores? E qual será que vai ser o real impacto para popularizar ainda mais o uso de Bitcoin no dia a dia?

Caramba, jura que eu abri esse tópico e o primeiro não lido foi exatamente aquele em que você comentou que ainda faltavam 106 merits? Conseguir isso em pouco mais de 3 meses é sinal de que você está fazendo um bom trabalho. Bom saber que ainda tem gente recebendo merits por aqui...eu to na crença de que isso está cada vez pior.

Meus parabéns! continue assim que logo você se torna um legendário

Unfortunately, many online casino platforms do not provide detailed information about the activity of referred users, which can make it difficult to know whether your referral is still active or not... but there are a few tips you can follow to try to confirm this:

1. Contact casino support: The most direct way to get this information is to ask the casino directly through customer support... Are they likely to lie? It depends on their reputation, but sometimes it is better to go straight to the point and get a reasonable solution such as "a technical issue" and in addition to the payment due maybe even a bonus as an apology. Of course, this depends on the platform's privacy policy, so they may not provide all the details.

2. Test your referral link with a friend's account... ask them to sign up using your referral code to check if it is still active. If the code works and generates benefits, it is likely that the referral system is still working properly

3. Check if there have been any changes to the rules of the referral program: Sometimes casinos change the conditions of their affiliate or referral programs without clearly warning... don't the referrals expire after a certain amount of time, for example?

It's great that, as you pointed out, BetHog has an active community on Telegram... this makes all the difference in clarifying doubts and avoiding scams. However, many services only have customer support that often takes too long to respond and we know that people are anxious, so I would like to highlight a few more important tips before you go out there "doing the wrong thing":

1. Check the communication history: If you received an "urgent" or unexpected email, compare it with other previous emails sent by the same platform because scammers usually cannot replicate exactly the same design, language or style used by the official company.

2. Use phishing verification tools: There are free services, such as Google Transparency Report or other browser extensions, that can check whether a link or domain is associated with malicious activities.

3. Be wary of offers that are too good to be true: If the email promises huge bonuses, unexpected prizes or "exclusive" opportunities, be wary... the fish always dies by its mouth.

4. Create a specific email account for betting: A good practice is to use a separate email account just for registering with casinos, exchanges or betting platforms. This way, if this account is compromised, your personal data and other important accounts (such as bank or work accounts) will not be at risk.

5. Monitor your transactions regularly: Even if you confirm that an email is legitimate, always monitor your financial transactions within the platform, such as unauthorized withdrawals or deposits.

I think many gamblers end up frustrated because they focus too much on "lucky breaks" or huge wins, without realizing that the real secret may lie in prolonging the fun and avoiding losses.

I also believe that it is much better to extend the experience than to try to force a big prize and end up emptying the bankroll quickly, because when we start to worry more about money management and less about the idea of ​​getting rich overnight, the game becomes more sustainable and even more fun. In addition, this approach helps to avoid impulsive decisions, such as increasing bets after a sequence of losses... something that almost always ends badly for me.

On the other hand, I understand that some people are more ambitious and prefer to risk everything for a big prize and that's fine... everyone has their own style, right? But, thinking realistically, how many stories do we know of people who actually achieved long-term success by betting this way? It seems that most end up doing badly, while those who adopt a more conservative approach are able to enjoy the process more.

First, let’s be clear that bookmakers are businesses whose main goal is to make a profit, and when someone starts winning consistently, especially over a period of months or a year, it’s no surprise that they take steps to protect their own interests, such as limiting the maximum amount you can bet. After all, if you’re consistently in profit, you’re probably “breaking their business model.”

On the other hand, from an ethical point of view, this practice is quite “questionable” because when you create an account with a bookmaker, it’s expected that there will be a relationship of mutual trust: you bet within the rules, and they pay out your winnings. Limiting your bets just because you’re being successful may seem unfair, especially if you’re not using fraudulent methods or exploiting flaws in the system.

Now, back to your specific case: if you've been making 4-figure profits for years and you start to think about what happens if you cross the 5-figure mark, it's reasonable to assume that this could draw the attention of the bookmaker and I'm surprised that they haven't banned you completely yet

One thing I recommend in these cases is to diversify... if you already have a good track record with a bookmaker, it might be a good idea to spread your bets across different platforms to avoid a single bookmaker limiting your activities. Always keep a "low profile", avoiding sudden big movements so as not to attract too much attention.

But the question still remains... to what extent do bookmakers have the right to limit players who are making a profit? On the one hand, they are protecting their own interests; on the other, this could discourage loyal and experienced bettors. What do you think? Is there a middle ground that is fairer for both parties?

Day 16

Infelizmente os golpes como esse não são novidade em que as falsa "exchanges" usam bônus de boas-vindas ou promessas de retornos absurdos para atrair gente pouco informada, e é bem isso que tu falou... as fraudes desse tipo vão bem além de exchange com esse mesmo modus operandi, sempre pedindo depósitos antes de liberar prêmios fictícios.

O melhor e mais seguro mesmo é melhor usar corretoras confiáveis, especialmente no Brasil que já tem boas opções regulamentadas e bem estabelecidas/conhecidas nacionalmente com anos de operação (não que isso seja garantia de que elas não irão te passar a perna... mas já é bem melhor do que algo novo e desconhecido).

E pra quem quer diversificar e fazer trades internacionais, acho que duas ou três exchanges estrangeiras confiáveis são suficientes... plataformas como Binance , Coinbase ou até a Bybit (que tem suporte para BRL) são boas opções para trocar criptos sem grandes problemas. Cnocordo que as vezes uma moeda nova que tem uma boa oportunidade de valorização ainda seja pouco listada... mas aí vai da produência né: deposita só o necessário e retira de lá o quanto antes.

I only realized this now that you mentioned it and I agree that it seems like the subject has already been widely explored and is in fact quite repetitive... I have also caught myself repeating the same idea many times despite my efforts to always add something new.

But you know there is a reason for this: luck is a universal theme when we talk about betting and gambling and it will always spark interest because it touches on something intrinsic to the human experience (I think I've philosophized too much now, )

The challenge is to bring new perspectives or less obvious approaches to the subject... for example, instead of just debating "luck vs skill", we could discuss how people interpret luck, does the perception of luck change depending on the cultural or psychological context? Or even, how do bookmakers use the idea of ​​luck to attract customers, even though they know that their systems are based on mathematical probabilities?

I also like topics that focus on personal stories or real cases, such as situations where someone thought they were counting on luck, but later discovered that there was manipulation involved (such as fraud in results or adjusted odds)... this generates more constructive and less generic debates.

Your thinking makes sense, but does not overthinking work for everyone?

You mentioned that you used to worry about theories like "this is a trap" or "the game is rigged", and that only got in your way, right? I agree that these ideas can be harmful if they are exaggerated, but on the other hand, can't completely ignoring these factors be equally risky? For example, we know that certain betting markets have built-in margins or adjusted odds to favor the bookmakers and not taking this into account can end up being negligent, even if you are winning at the moment.

What I'm trying to say is that there is a fine balance between "overthinking" and "blindly trusting". It seems that you found this balance by simplifying your analysis and focusing only on the basics, like team performance and spreads, but I think this works for you because you already have enough experience to filter out what really matters and then "not overthinking" works well, but for beginners it can be a rip-off.

And be careful how far this can work because the market is constantly changing... what works today may not work tomorrow and relying only on intuition and the basics is not sustainable in the long term.

Yes, and this is not uncommon because, in fact, even a long-term gambler can lose most of his money at some point because, no matter how good his strategies and analyses are, the betting market is dynamic and unpredictable and sometimes changes are too fast to adapt... casinos need to keep evolving to generate profit and the use of AI in their predictions is something recent and very useful, for example.

Regarding the story you mentioned, it is difficult to know who it is without more details, but it reminded me of another famous case of the gambler Billy Walters who was also extremely successful for decades and then faced difficult times when the market changed and his strategies started to fail. And that is why I have always defended that those who play professionally need to take their profits and withdraw them, instead of always reinvesting more and more... at some point everything will fall apart and it is important that you have built up a good enough reserve to come out victorious and say: "ok, now is the time to stop while I'm still on top".

Now, on the question of whether a gambler's success can be accidental... I think so, there are cases where people can have a winning streak by pure luck or by being in the right place at the right time, but the true test of long-term success is consistency because if someone achieves positive results year after year, it is difficult to attribute this to luck alone and not to solid methodology, as well as discipline to manage risks and learn from mistakes.

No one is immune to losses, not even the most experienced... the market changes, new competitors emerge and the best strategies stop working overnight... so we must all be humble and always willing to adapt because "to err is human, but to persist in error is stupidity"

I'm not a person who plays for money, but I still have to agree with you that having a strategy, even a basic one, is already a giant step compared to betting on "guesswork" or just counting on luck. After all, luck may work out sometimes, but in the long run it doesn't sustain anyone, which is why it's important to have some kind of plan.

No matter how simple it is, over time you can adjust and improve this strategy... you learn from your mistakes and improve it. The important thing is to start with something basic, following statistics or betting only on teams/games that you know well, and then refine it as you gain more experience. The problem is when someone doesn't even try to create a strategy and just plays without thinking, thinking that they'll "break the bank" on the first try. And the worst thing is when this happens, then they get all excited, double the bet and then fail badly.

Ultimately, I think the most important thing is to view betting as a process, not as a shot in the dark... even if your strategy isn't perfect, it forces you to think before acting, which already makes a huge difference.

I think we are already seeing some signs of this happening, even if in a more subtle way, because with the absurd increase in crypto casinos on the market, it is natural that the competition will become fiercer, since they all want to attract the same players, especially the "high rollers" who move the most money.

But I don't think we will reach a point where there will be an "all-out war" between casinos, at least not directly... I think what is already happening is more likely, a more indirect competition that benefits us (players) with bigger bonuses and aggressive promotions... But I confess that I have seen some unfair marketing campaigns that highlight the defects or flaws of competing casinos, which is not exclusive to this sector, since large companies have always done this in competitive markets.

Regarding the large casinos trying to prevent new entrants from succeeding, I think they will try, but I don't know if they will succeed, since this is a market that is still growing a lot and that in my opinion still has enough room for everyone, at least for now. And let's hope that doesn't really happen because there will always be players who like to try new and different things.

The fact is that if a casino offers good games, fast payouts and transparency, it will stand out regardless of the competition. And let's face it, the more options we have, the better for us, right?

Douver Braga é o nome do sujeito, ele foi preso nos EUA, por isso o envolvimento do FBI no caso.
Mas, o carinha já era carta marcada pelo que li nessa outra notícia porque a CVM já estava na cola dele também a algum tempo por suspeitar que ele não tinha negócios muito lícitos não.

Brasileiro burro, acha que a justiça de lá é lerda igual a brasileira... Ser ferrou 

Enfim... Tô só resumindo a notícia, mas aqui tu tem mais detalhes e pelo que me parece não é nada antigo que já tenhamos visto por aqui.
