Would you be influenced by your favourite Celebrity who you know gambles and one day happens to post the games he played, would you be influenced to play the same game?

I am bringing up this because a popular Canadian musician Drake posted the games he played today on Stake,
https://i.imgur.com/DI4bcJs.jpg

Many of his fans who are into gambling as well, may have played same game without thinking. As it turns out, the game did not go as predicted for him and his bet lost.

Drake is Drak. I am myself, we are both completely different.

For Real Madrid versus Barcelona, I did not go for the match because I prefer just a single bet and I went for just Arsenal to win. If I should choose, I will not think twice to choose over 2.5 or both team to score. I can never choose Madrid nor Barcelona to win.

I make my own analyses before placing any bet, all by myself.

At worst, I will even prefer to go for prediction site instead.

Very few does this just because a celebrity have done it. With gambling it is unfair to follow the footprints of celebrities/influencers, because they don't play for money/win. For them it is part of their entertainment. If lucky the winning bet gets into discussion, if not the same fades off and it never disturb his lifestyle.

For a common gambler who finds it hard to spend $10, even a loss is big and could keep him worried for some time period. I'll have my own choice, maybe I can take some references out of them.

One thing you should note is that is a gamble and game may not go as predicted so if drake lost then the entire fans who follows playing that same game night got lost as well. Few weeks ago there was a friend who always share some correct scores did post then I was picking up most of his games to play but I ended up losing instead of to win what I did was to stop picking his games to play, so for me I won't bet on those game maybe after my analysis I may decide to readjust the games before placing my bet.

For addicts or people recovering from it I think content like this could be pretty damage them and cause them to bet high on something like this. For everyone else, I'd imagine they could follow a bet like this with $1-10 for entertainment and still get that out of the game/wager.

I don't think an advert like $840k bets are in good taste though either, although most people probably know how to edit page sources these days so might consider it a bluff.

Also, if you're posting about spending $800k I hope you're not the one managing your account with the level of spam you'll probably end up getting from something like that.

Drake and Stake has a partnership just to let everyone know that's why he almost posted his bet on them.

However, as far as getting influence by him or any celebrity? I think experience and smart gamblers shouldn't follow anyone. We have our own choice on who we are going to bet and not just because someone influence or tell us to do so. But there could be others though, his fans that are following him that might be throwing some funny not that huge as compare to him but just enough and see how Drake and their bet will go. Sort of just having some fun.

It depends. For some reasons, if you can live the life as a gambler and you are financially capable to play the same game from your celebrity idol, then there’s no wrong with it. But if I only gamble just for a minimal amount and have no extra money to spare on that particular game, I guess for my own advantage, I will just play the game that will suit on my budget and also on the game that I think I have more experience and expertise.

Well, if I'm a fan, I'd be a fan of what he does too but I have my own decisions for myself and what I've gonna do. If it's in gambling, I have my own choices but I wouldn't reject taking a look at what they're sharing. If it's good calls and bets then I'll be putting some bets on it if I consider that I can ride with his bets too but if I think that's not gonna work for me, then I'll just ignore it.

no, i am not influenced by anyone when i do sports betting, i learned the hard way that you should never bet based on what someone else bets, this is a serious mistake that no one should make. what people need to do and study a lot of sports betting, then analyze the games in person and then they can place bets. this is an important rule. celebrities have a lot of money, they can afford to bet a lot of money and when they lose they won't even be sad until they go out to have fun like nothing happened, but someone who doesn't have a lot of money will be sad because they lost


 ;D

did he really believe that real madrid would lose against barcelona? honestly real madrid is strong and we won to show that we are the only ones that will win la liga


unfortunately there are many people who place bets and play casino games by copying exactly what he is betting or playing. people have the following thought: if he gets it right then if i copy him then i will also win a lot

nope, even though I rarely bet on sports betting I still prefer to bet my own way and not just blindly follow the bet of the celebrity I like. that being said, I kind of understand why some people would be influenced by their favorite celebrity.

anyway, the amount of that bet is ridiculous. I wonder if it's actually his money or is just being sponsored by stake to make bets like this.

If anything it's more likely for me to go against their predictions unless there's a promo included or they'd start to gain a good record after making several picks. Also, I remember most of the bets that he posts ended up losing so you're better off making your own predictions than blindly following them and if you lose at least it's more understandable knowing you did enough research.

I have that mindset that celebrities posting bets or giving some tips about the brands that they're sharing is that, they're paid to do it.

That's why I'm not going to let them affect my betting preferences and where I gamble. I know that there are die hard fans and that's why some casinos have partnerships with a known celebrity because they know that it's got a lot of loyal fans.

They'll do whatever their idol is doing.

he is being paid as endorser but we don't know about his bets. drake is known to bet huge amount of money, and he can afford it. he has a lot of followers so more then likely, some of his fans got their interest in gambling owed to him. but for one, they should not bet big if they have no financial capability.
drake is a different level of bettor, who we can consider as a high roller. not all fans can afford such lifestyle. in my case, i won't be influenced by my favourite celebrity, they don't care what you're doing in life. so just take care of your own business.

I don't even know why the need to ask such question when maybe all of us here are thinking adults. I mean we already have enough gambling experience to think on our own. It wouldn't really matter to you or me when gamblers follow other people's pick whether it's a celebrity or not.

Stake only allows gambling of legal age don't they? It's not on you to worry if they gamble blindly or not.

No, simply because I'm a sports bettor already for a long. But even before I started placing bets on my favorite sport, I already have knowledge about those leagues. I can even assume that I might even better compare to that celebrity in terms of sports betting, well of course depends on the sports and who's the favorite celebrity I'm referring to.

Besides, it's not looked good to me if a person will just try gambling because they saw their favorite celebrity doing it.

It should be "our money, our rule, our ways". The real interest in sports betting should be there.

Personally I’m not because I do separate my personal life wit my entertainment preferences so I usually don’t easily get influenced but in Drake case, I’m sure that people will be influenced since he is showing huge amount of money while the majority of his fans is a fan of doing wild things since Drake song genre is the one that being liked by the cool kids.

Hell no! I don't even have a favorite celebrity, so I guess I can easily pass this one. I can check what others think the match, especially the professional bettors and see if their analysis makes sense and perhaps consider it before I go and lock my choice. If I can easily be swayed by someone famous enough to be caled a celebrity, I think I deserve what happens if the pick turned out to lose. There's no black magic in there, just straight up rational thinking.

That's it, he's paid and we don't know if those bets are personal or not and is according to the terms of his partnership with them.

Btw, it's just my mindset and there's nothing to think about it and I know people will follow their idol wherever they go and will also consume whatever they advertise to consume.

The same goes for a casino that they're exposing and advertising on their own handles.

If you're a mature bettor you will not just bet or get influenced by any personality, you will do a comparison on his bet and your bet, it's your money that you're going to bet, when it comes to gambling you will look on how good the personality that you're following if he is good and your comparison is very close, I prefer to follow bets coming from experts on the niche like in horse racing, who is good in analysis and who knows the history of the sports he is betting.

I see that it is sports betting. I will follow his bets unless I am sure about that bet myself.  I do my own analysis of the teams before I bet.

A celebrity betting on a team does not make the team better or make that team win. Maybe his fans are just into it just to support him but for me, it is my money, so I make the decisions where to place my bet.

I will not just follow a celebrity because I am a fan of him.

I don't treat my favorite celebrity as a thing that can influence me on anything not unless I do like what they are doing. In other words, I like what they are presenting or showing, and the reason is not that I like that celebrity.

In sports betting, we should create our own strategy and don't be used on referring to other picks even if it came to our favorite individual.

Furthermore, as long as we continue to do sports betting, we don't need to rely on anyone's picks.

I can't afford to place a bet in sports betting just by following the bet of my desired celebrity.

Since it's our own money that we are gambling with, at least we know what we are doing and why we should place a bet on that specific pick.

It's the same as following tipsters where users are betting without any knowledge of that match and will just hope for the best to nail it.

Simply No. Those celebrities may have their own favorite games, they can be totally different from me.
For example, they like betting on sports matches, I like slots. I won't try betting because I don't think it is more entertaining than slots. So, what I choose which game I think is more entertaining, not to choose which one is played by celebrities.

They may be fanatic fans.
They played to follow their favorite celebrity, they don't care about the risks, loss, or win.
But I'm not a type of fanatic fan, so I will never be like them.

 :P

I myself don't fantasize anything the celebrities endorsed. May it be gambling or not. However, not everyone are like us who don't really follow what these celebrities were doing or endorsing, but there are those people who really loves following their celebrity idols, coz there will be no celebrity endorser otherwise. Just like in this case where several people are following Drake's betting. They may have ignored the fact that Drake and Stake are working together.

I have to be a fan of someone who gambles first though. I have not seen anyone whom I avidly follow that are a gambler, or at least publicize that they gamble. Even then though, if they actually did gamble I still wouldn't blindly follow them. I did not follow their activities for gambling tips, if I did I'm pretty sure there'd be a LOT of other better tipsters (though hard to differentiate from scams) out there, I followed them for their artistic creativity, content, whatever you call it. I also hardly doubt we'd be on to the same kind of sports tbf.

It's my money anyway so I don't think that someone can influence me on where I'm going to put my bet regardless if the celebrity is as big as Drake him, which we might call a way although we now that him and Stake has a deal.

And I think even a beginner in gambling knows that, we should make our own decision in gambling.

It's that the amount of bet is too good to be true for the majority of us that it might have a effect on us. Nevertheless we know that Drake has a lot of money to burn because he can afford it.

Not a fan either but seeing how much he bet for a match. He really can spend that much with the current economy. For some fans, I guess he can influence which I think Stake also saw the possibility that Drake can be an asset. He is a partner but Adensanya as ambassador in the previous months made people notice the casino.

Since Drake's bet lost, I wouldn't see his bet influencing a regular fan.

I'm a fan of some famous bitcointalk members here in the gambling section, if these famous ones post their bets I would certainly bet too.
But if the publicized bet comes from a celebrity who understands as much (or even less) about betting or football than I do, then I would certainly prefer to stick with my guesses.
I believe Drake's post was more to get some visibility, and I'm sorry for those who gambled and lost money along with him.

To be honest, not at all.

To begin with, I don't have a favourite celebrity. There are some celebrities that I have a certain regard for, but I'm not going to bet or stop betting because they do, and not just in betting, but in money matters in general. I'm not going to buy the altcoin of the day or an NFT because a celebrity tells me to.

Playing gambling is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand because your hope to win is relatively smaller, but currently artist endorsement is indeed the most accurate move, to attract the market, especially for the younger generation who really likes to surf on social media, I personally also know the platform. gambling through endorsements from celebrities but when I do gambling I am never affected by celebrity predictions because I have my own predictions, because every bet I want to play I always look for the right prediction myself.

I'm not easily influenced by any celebrity. In fact, I don't even give them too much weight. If their movie is good, then I appreciate it. If their music is good, I would also appreciate it. But once they talk about something else they probably don't know much, I usually just disregard them. I don't find celebrities good endorsers. But I know it has a tremendous effect especially to their fans.

Just the same, I wouldn't bet on anything I know nothing about just because my favorite artist is betting on it. That's a total waste of money and it's not fun.

The real bettor wouldn't follow what the idol bet because The real bettor very much understands what he did. In this case, if followers still follow what the idol chose without thinking, I really sure the follower is still a beginner in the casino world.

So, what the real bettor looks in his idol status is the place where the Idol put the bet. Maybe the follower doesn't know Stake, and always plays on another sportsbook, after reading the Idol status they registered and follow where the place Idol plays.

So in this case, if the casino wants many new users to come, just give the Idol free betting on your Casino by agreement.

I will never ever follow any celebrities. I will prefer to trust myself based on my skill to analyze which team that has more potential to win the game. I meant look at when so many people are trusting their money to the barcelona and then it was loosing against real madrid caused by it's easy to predict if real madrid is far better than barcelona in all of aspects. That's why i will never even try to trust others who i didn't know him with my money. It's about how smart you are to predict it.
Many people were also doing it but i will not be the same like those who have been following their idol without even use their logic. My startegy is my choice.

Absolutely NO, I wont be affected/influenced by my favorite celebrities on what they are going to bet. I'll always be myself in gambling, I'll only play the game that I like, sports that I know, etc. It does not make senses to follow other's bet/game just because I'm a fan of them. Other case can be related to sports especially if you are a fan of a specific football team. Would you always bet on them although you know that the chance is so small? 

These celebrities are paid to advertise these firms, hence their predictions cannot be trusted. I might like the celebrity but in gambling, I make my decision because the money is mine. These celebrities can afford to lose bets because they have more funds to spare, following their footsteps might lead to a heavy loss than can be very difficult to bear. Most of them are not very knowledgeable about the game, they are just doing it for the main reason of promoting the gambling platforms and collecting their endorsement fees.

Took a few college courses on marketing and psychology where we studied this kind of stuff pretty deeply. I don’t get influenced what so ever because I understand what marking is and how it’s a manipulation tool and knowing that certainly teaches you to not fall victim to it. Amazing to me that mindless celebrities like the Kardashians are worth 100s of millions due to marketing nonsense.

It is given that Drake is a Whale Gambler and had been partnering with stake.com for long now and even obviously bringing His gambling activities , so there is nothing new about His post nor even those who followed Him already knew this.

But personally about my Idol? nope depend on the game they are playing because  if this is just against my circle of game? then sorry but never that I will follow him.

I will not be influenced by my favorite celebrity who is used to gambling because it will negatively influence my life. I'd rather just watch him gamble without thinking about following what he's doing. And even if I gamble, it's just for fun because the difference between him and me is so big. We must realize who we are and do not need to follow others, especially if we have many limitations in terms of finances. If we want to gamble, we must make sure that we are gambling for entertainment and nothing else.

Me neither. Celebrities have a confortable life and easy money at their disposal. Their reality is totally different from most of us who have to manage our monthly budget very strictly in order to survive and fulfill our appointments. We can't give ourselves the right to compare our gambling habits to celebrities' gambling habits, despite how we like them. I agree with you, we should just watch them playing, enjoy their videos and be entertained for that! After all, they are celebrities and they make a living from entertaining us, the spectators!  :D

A celebrity is already an influencer. An influencer is someone who has the charm, charisma and ability to naturally influence the decision of their followers, admirers, or fans as the case may be. Say for example, Idolize Drake and I am a newbie gambler who doesn't know his left from right, I would definitely have been influenced to play the same game knowing that Drake is a big gambler and has won a lot of money while gambling.

I will not influenced by my favourite celebrity and why? My money and my choice. I will not even believe if what they will be doing will be good for my money. Your incluencer may be wrong and you may be right when predicting something.
I trust myself no matter what happened with my money and that's why i must care with my money. I just try to do something based on my analyzation. I will not be affected by the decision that has been taken by others.
That will not give any impact to the my decision for my choice. Following your idol must become a bad thing.

Unless the celebrity that you're following is an expert on the sport that you both are betting I don't recommend patterning your betting to your celebrity idol, usually, celebrity bettors can afford to lose, they have a lot of money in fact many of them are receiving a bonus to bet and promote their casinos, in your case you're playing your hard earned money unless your status is the same like your idol, follow your own judgment not someone else even if it's your idol.

Of course not. I don't have a "favorite celebrity" and the fact that someone is famous doesn't make him competent, when it comes to gambling. Being "influenced by your favorite celebrity" to do this or that seems dumb to me. Are we sheep or something?  ;D
Drake is rich and he can afford to lose several hundred dollars on sports betting. I can't afford to lose several hundred dollars on gambling/sports betting. His bet on Barcelona against Real was a clear mistake. Everybody knows that Barcelona is in a crisis right now and their odds against Real Madrid aren't very big. The Barcelona defenders didn't stand a chance against Benzema, Valverde, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrigo.

What the favorite celebrity uses, fan can be quite impressed. Those who are use stake for gambling are greatly encouraged if their favorite celebrity is actually on the platform. Especially in the places where the celebrity will set the bet, some fans often bet on the same place without any analysis. And I think this situation is very common for some gamblers.

Of course: NO!
I will never follow some kinds of suggestions :)
First of all, I don't need it. Secondly, I cannot trust someone providing such kind of bets with bigger odds.
I don't care he is "famous" or he is a celebrity. More over he is not "an expert" on that field.
In fact in the end... he has loosing the bet :( I am really sorry for people that have followed this suggestion.
Well for sure... he is not payed for helping random people to make money :) but to help admins of platform to make money.

Look at that bet! I guess just looking at the size of this bet makes you feel like "this guy sure knows what he's doing"! But Drake also loses a lot on his sports bet, as we could see in the past... so I guess Drake is not a good tipster, but he has enough money to bet, again and again, each time with higher bets or higher odds, and in some moment he recovers. Anyway, Drake also plays other games, we can say that he is a real degen, Highroller degen!

This time he was unlucky, and all the people who decided to follow him... Well, I wish them more luck next time.

If you're a die-hard fan you will likely follow the bets of your favorite celebrities because this is what die-hard fans do they imitate the way they dressed, the way they talk, and their hobbies, but if you're a real gambler you will not trust your betting to celebrities, unless the celebrities happen to be an authority on the sports that you are both betting, in the case of Drake, he is not an expert so his fans who followed his bets will likely lose their bets.

Yes, I can be influenced by my favorite celebrity however it depends on the celebrity that I follow and what games they are gambling on. There are celebrities that are great with gambling strategies and deserved to be followed on while there are those who bet who only have limited knowledge of the game.

On the example you've provided with Drake, I would pretty much lean on my own decision, especially with Sports betting as I can make my own research as well as analyze which teams are most likely to win. However, if someone that idolize in sports have posted that tweet, then I could probably see myself betting on the team they've bet on.

If someone who has a lot of experience in betting, especially in this discussion is football.
In no way will it be affected, although there is a sentimental side to the choices that have been made by celebrities who are idolized.

I don't know for most people, but for me personally it won't matter at all. because after all, we have a way of judging our own bets.  there is an analysis that we do before the game starts, everything is taken into consideration in determining which team will win the match. however, not infrequently we will compare the predictions made by other members here.  then decisions are made in betting.

He is really using "real money"?
He is also a partner of that casino, maybe there is some agreement for showing such bets on a public audience?
I mean, generally speaking, we have any/real proof he is using money from his pocket ?
Make a bet with more half million of dollars seems a big amount even for a celebrity like him... it's around 1% of his "yearly" (gross) salary... just in one bet...

Nope, gamble using my own money so I have to think one to ten times to me place any bet. But if it's for fun with a small bet, I'll definitely it a try, depending on the match too. Even the best tipsters in the past not recommend following all the bets he shows, we have to think again about the matches we will place.

And the others choice is to copy what the celebrities they follow do. Well, it's different for me. I don't usually allow them to influence me but who knows, if that's my crush that's telling her fans to look at her bets.

Who I am to not look at it?  ;D

So, it's depends to the situation on who's that celebrity that's trying to influence their community. I'm sure that others are also easily influenced by their celebrity crushes.  :P

I am not really following celebrities so much lately, in the past I used to have a few celebrities I followed on social media. But since my new job I have less time and took a break from social media, it's too time consuming and a bit addictive. It's cool if famous people show their betting slips, I enjoy seeing large bets and it's make them more likeable. Usually there is not interaction between the big whales, so when a celebrity posts how much money he puts down in a single bets I am rooting for that event. Placing a small bet myself doesn't hurt and it's gives me the chance to win some money too. We don't know how much information he really has and maybe he got some special tip that leads to a nice payout. As long as we don't look at it as a safe bet that can't lose, everything is okay. There is always the chance for us to lose the money, and for a celebrity it won't hurt losing 500k or million. That's why I only place a small bet to not feel bad if something goes wrong.

Luckily I don't have a favorite celeb who gambles, so I don't have to bother to watch him gamble. I guess it's a personal choice, and I don't see that we should follow him to gamble on the same game. We have our own choices and don't need to gamble like him. The responsibility we have is also different from theirs. And if we lose, we can lose money that is very valuable in our lives. In comparison, the celeb will not feel the loss of his money, even though he also suffered a heavy loss.

I love Drake but as for betting options, it has never influenced me once in my decisions. I know before the game, Twitter Stake.com posted this and along with my bet for Madrid. Because I think Drake can influence his followers to bet on Barcelona but still Drake benefits as a promoter right? while his followers still lost. That's what crossed my mind.

I don't think that it would be a great idea if the reason why you would try and bet on something is mainly that you have a crush on the celebrity who's bet on that too.

It's best that you depend on each situation and if your idol or celebrity crush has a reason and logical meaning as to why they will bet on that for you to be able to have atleast some insights on copying his/her bets.

As a matter of fact playing bet has nothing to do with celebrity choice because at the end they are not going to determine your winning or loosing neither will they render little money into your account for compensation, those we so called celebrities that we don't even try yo know their personalities in real life, you will be surprised if you discover some of their morals they got addicted to, gambling is playing what you could best predict and if lucky to be thesame as exactly being predicted by you then you make a winning, celebrities are just people behind this games we play often and have make it a career and are being professional it doing it, but i wouldn't bring celebs into my own gambling because it has nothing to help with.

Like many people I follow some famous people, but only because I am interested in their activities. Of course I will not follow the recommendations of celebrities in gambling, especially if they have not achieved any significant success in it. In my opinion such promotions are done to attract new users to the gambling site and celebrities get good money for it. The main thing that bothers me about such promotions is a huge number of children among subscribers who may perceive such promotions as a call to action.

I believe, such action will be common to younger generation but for older ones, I don't think so.
They already have their own disposition in life especially if it is related to money matters.
They may have celebrity favorites but I don't think they will be greatly influenced by their betting habits.
They may check the bets of their favorite celebs but it doesn't mean, they will also place bets.
If they know and are familiar with the sports, they will select their own winners.

Indeed. We gamble or bet with our own money, not the money got from the celebrity. So, it is a wrong idea to follow a celebrity if we don't have an intention to bet on a sports match. Moreover, if we bet without any knowledge about it, we probably will end up losing money. Even if we are big fans of a certain celebrity, we don't need to follow every activity done by the celebrity. Be smart fans, don't blind when admiring someone.

I think we don't need to try if we are not interested. Although it is only a small bet, it requires money too.
In my opinion, there will be no fun if it is something not interesting.

I think that's quite rational, however, apart from the wagering partnership that Drake has, it's clear that he has provided tremendous benefits in addition to being a promoter. When it comes to betting, we really have to be careful if we follow influencers. Even though in the end our losses or gains have nothing to do with the promoters. It's just that this kind of phenomenon is common and certainly has a big impact on the best of his followers.

No sorry.

I more rather trusted or follow a stream casino, with a good reputation like (Let'sGiveIt'sASpin). Following from the bottom with reasonable money, not a paid streamer who playing with a hundred thousand dollars and betting like a few cent.

He also giving a good advice + make a his own spreadsheet BJ & momentum strategy.

I don't understand how people can follow the example of celebrities, unless you really are under their influence, of course there will always be followers among the fans, but this is a very unwise act. You can have a favorite hero, but to get attached enough to copy his actions is too much.

Those whom have been betting don't just bet any game showcase by influencers and moreover I think Drake is somehow partnering with stake so I believe he does that to promote stake.com not just showing the games but doing his job as a partner. Even if I would play the game there should be some certainty believing that the game would likely win as predicted.

Drake’s Stakes: The Canadian Rapper Who Wagered Over $1 Billion In 2 Months (https://www.casino.org/blog/drakes-latest-bets/)

Also interesting, from the same article:


I'm not sure what to believe, it's not impossible that Drake is a compulsive gambler who raises the stakes over time, and he's definitely rich enough to afford something like that. On the other hand:


Is this just an advertisement, or does he want to show how he is the biggest gambler ever and just goes crazy when he streams and front of the audience? I really don't know, maybe one day we will know more about that... I would say 50/50 at the moment, both can be true.

if they are already true fans they will follow suit, never mind the gambling apps they use. the lifestyle that celebrities do they also follow. But for those of us who don't idolize him, it certainly won't be relevant to follow what he shares. Especially about gambling, most of them will plunge into a project that is not profitable for us as fans or ordinary people, but will be very profitable for them celebrities. and of course they get paid for the ads they make or for the promotions they post on their social media accounts.

It's not because of the celebrity who posted something like that, it doesn't mean to say that I will win gambling there in the stakes. Of course not, we know that's not the case. Apart from that, most of them, almost all of them, are just doing it for hype, but in terms of earning a lot from the stakes, that's nonsense in my opinion.

Also, if there is someone else who can be influenced, of course, we can't do anything about that because it's their choice. It is better to gamble with your strategy and method, not because of what the celebrity did, we will copy that.

Shit happens. Although, he had his winning moments too.
Will I be influenced by him? Yes, I might. These guys have some sports analysts helping them decide which possible winner might make it through so that lessens the risk of losing.
And, we all know he is a big fan of sports. From basketball to football so I guess that is also a plus on why he should be followed by some gamblers.
I would not mind copying a bet from him, but I will not expect too much. I'll do my own analysis too to strengthen the winning chance.

I gamble not on the encouragement of others, gamble on my own volition, for that even though I have my favorite celebrity / idol, of course it has nothing to do with me, I idolize them not because of their actions, but the dramas they play I like, be it singers, actors, football and so on, such as: Ben, Tobey, Matt, that doesn't mean I have to follow their way of betting in the world of gambling.

For that each of us has a vision and mission to live life, we are aware of which is the best and worst for ourselves, each individual has his own lifestyle for that favorite celebrities are not an encouragement for us to follow their lifestyle, they have a lifestyle of their own choice and also ours lifestyle can be different, everyone's choice idol.

I think this is pretty much normal for Drake that has a partnership with Stake.com, he surely is advertising it on his social media, but given these things do you think it is OK if a celebrity will influence you in taking up gambling, I think it is always welcome for a celebrity to be the one that introduced you to certain gambling casino or sports, but even though they are the ones that influence you,

You will still be the one that is in charge or in control of your betting strategy, betting amount, and betting ideas and will be in charge of when you will stop because no matter who is the person behind why you started gambling they are not the one that will help you stopped when you get addicted to it, It will always end up in us,

Drake is one of the most influential personalities in the world of gambling. His online presence is large, and he has a huge following on social media. It isn't surprising that many are drawn to his style of play. The key when watching Drake or any other casino professional or celebrity is to stay focused on your own game and not get caught up in the often-sensational statements they make while they play. The betting behavior he exhibits on camera may be entertaining, but it also carries great risk. While it can be fun or interesting to watch him or others play, it's also important to stay focused on what's best for you and your game, and remember to walk the line between entertainment and mathematically sound way of gambling.

My favorite celebrity could influence me in terms of fashion but not on gambling or any site or game that he's promoting not unless he's a huge personality who is well known for his gambling skills. I will rely on a celebrity's influence like Drake because he already has a good background in gambling and his suggestions and promotions would be reliable. I think getting influenced by our celebrity should depend on how they're involved in gambling and if their influence would be helpful to us who are striving to grow in our gambling journey.

People will copy their favorite celebrity without worrying much about the win or loss.

We normally follow our role models and celebrities. Often we see people adopt the habits of their celebrities and even copy their dressing and hairstyles. So if a Celebrity play gambling, people will definitely be impressed by him and try to copy him. Not only they will try to gamble the same game but also use the same platform to gamble.



There is a negative aspect of this because if a celebrity won a big amount of money in gambling, this will give a message to his followers that they can gamble and win big too. but usually, people will lose in gambling.

This can also be treated as advertising whereby a famous celebrity is shown playing and winning high amounts in gambling, tempting other people to follow him.

Interesting question- while I want to say that no celebrity can influence me in my choices or convince me into gambling, there is that possibility that I might actually attempt to gamble just because a certain person (not necessarily a celebrity) gambles.

For example, I watch and play tons of competitive online games ever since I was a kid. I also do watch streamers play the games that I play from time-to-time. Whenever I see them gamble some crates, I somehow get influenced by their actions seeing that they win some rare in-game items.

While a celebrity may not influence me from gambling, a certain person (e.g. streamer, famous player, etc.) may influence and convince me to gamble out of curiosity and luck.

Base on your question for me that's a bad idea so absolutely no!. because to be honest they are not the one who will suffer at the end of the day if what ever happened while you gamble. So much better to do your own work and make sure everything will be fine afterwards .. And obviously they can lose money and it's nothing for them because surely they're paid no matter what, but what about us? Lol

Celebrities are paid for everything they show, they made a name and people follow them - they use this to sell products and names they are paid for. There should nothing personal to this, some thing that people all over the world should understand by now.

I am least influenced by what celebs say but I am tactful of watching over what they mean to say and how the market might react to it. Drake promoting Stake is still manageable but some other celeb promoting coins gives the market a whole new level of gameplay.

Honestly, casinos pay their promoters well, hence any influencer or wannabe influencer should try to pitch and join them. But never gamble just because your fav celeb played it, it is a game of chance after all.

Personally, I'm already experienced in gambling, so I'm unlikely to be influenced by any celebrity, even if I follow him. But I admit that some part of the fans may succumb to such influence and even make bets. But even taking into account the fact that Drake’s bet lost, I don’t think that anyone has the right to blame him, since having a minimal sense of common sense, you are, firstly, responsible for your own actions, and secondly, you must understand that a bet with odds of 4.68 won't work in most cases.

I don't think it's too much, actually many fans are fanatic which they're will do anything in order to become like the celebrities. I think everyone are know Ronaldo which is a football player, his iconic celebration "SIUUUUUUU" already copied by many people including other football players.

With social media, celebrity has a huge power to control the market and I think it's make sense why many people can be influenced by the celebrity they fan.

Somehow yes but not to extent that it will be turn into an addiction, imagine your favorite personality/celebrity doesn't do much too on gambling or playing this game, it's just for exposure. There will always be an influence but I think that differs if you yourself really do well in this game, the Law of Diminishing Return will apply here.

The spread of the Internet to the masses created the concept of social media. Billions of people are using this technology today. In addition, it is not difficult to predict that the number of users will increase in the coming years. This world has now become an indispensable part of daily life. We shape our worldview and hobbies in this world. If someone I love and follow with confidence makes a suggestion to me, I will gladly consider its suggestion. Because classical marketing methods have changed now. Brands' advertisements are no longer decisive for consumers. The consumers themselves are decisive.

When it comes to money I don't really follow people's prediction, I always do my research, because he is my favorite celebrity those not mean I will just follow him blindly, I will have to do my research first, if am not satisfied with his prediction, then I won't follow his prediction, I think we should all learn how to do more research and should just follow someone blindly, just because the person is your favorite. He his a celebrity and it those not mean he is right, just like what happen to Drake. Am sure lot's of people will just follow his prediction even if they know he is wrong just because they  like him.

I will not be influenced by any celebrity even though they have placed bigger bets of course I can't follow in large or small amounts of money but I already have my own predictions with the research that has been done before placing a bet.
Maybe for those whose followers will try what is at stake but for me it doesn't pass, whoever celebrity is a favorite but I will not follow his influence.

For me, betting is an absolute freedom that is my right, but in general, betting is luck, but I prefer to do it myself instead of following other people's bets.

Celebrities are already rich and they are betting maybe for fun without doing any research or just picking as they please, and that's a possibility. So I think celebrities won't regret it if the bet fails.
and I declare that I will not be influenced and will not follow it, I prefer to bet on the results of my personal choice and research, lose or win I have my own satisfaction and my own results without any encouragement from celebrities or anything.
but for today's younger generation it will most likely follow, because I see many young people who really idolize celebrities who are very excessive and also too fanatical.

If you are just a fan of the streamer without having a  background to the game you are betting with I guess you are just a follower bettor and waiting for the odds given by other people which is like you are letting them play with your money that's why it is good to make a check too with the teams are playing like at your self it is good to become analyst too so you can now manage what are the possible outcome with the game and what are the possible games needs to skip because of the odds and risk. Also choosing gambling casino is ideal so it supports your gambling habit like bonuses.

Social media has made matter worse by publicizing whatever these celebrities do. However, most of the times when celebrities gamble openly, it could be for advert purposes. I don't think any celebrity wants to be associated with the context of being an addicted gambler.
Every gambler should gamble at his or her own pace, not by being voluntarily or involuntarily influenced to follow through.  Most movies portray gambling scenes with an interesting theme song or characters, I wonder if the coy is to make gambling appeal graciously rewarding.
For my favorite celebrity, I do not however have the kind of resources they possess, therefore, doing as they do, simply for reward or fact of doing as my celebrity does is not even feasible.

Betting means taking a risk with your money. If you feel that it is not right to do it with emotion then you can bet according to your research. But there are exceptional people who value celebrity more than money. They may behave differently. But as a gambler I will give more priority to my personal opinion. Because if I lose money, no one will give me that money. Also think everyone should do responsible gambling.

It maybe will influence me to play the same slot that he/she plays if he/she is a slot player like I am but other than that,I would never follow or be influenced by someone whoever this someone be to tell me what should I do,how should I gamble or where and how much money,this is out of question,no one can influence me to such things.I have my own habits,my own bankroll and I of course have my stop loss order (in gambling meaning when to quit) so no I will never be influenced by my favorite celebrity except to only maybe try a game they like.

I always instill in my mind that don't trust anyone 100% so you won't be disappointed. artists or anyone we idolize has their own thoughts about their choices, if we follow that then it's the same as bringing our choices to the brink

the feeling will be better if we lose gambling because of our own choices than we lose gambling because we follow the choices of other people who they don't even have good analysis

It is a little bit sad that celebrities sell out, but then their whole career is effectively built around selling out and lowering themselves to get whatever roles are required to break into the big time. You could argue that it is just another object to advertise, but it's a very dangerous thing for idols to be teaching younger generations about these highly addictive gambling sites - especially when they are still learning and won't necessarily have a solid understanding on the financial implications it can create. We saw Drake pop up before this was all advertised with a "massive win" at Stake.com, before it was ever declared that he was in actual fact running a partnership with them and that really was the dirtiest tactic of them all. He really deserves discredit for his slimy way of approaching this.

When I was just a child I was influenced by the Spice Girls :D: I remember myself buying Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola because they advertised this brand and not the other, and collecting anything British that came into my possession because it was their style.

One year later I realised what stupid I had been and learnt the valuable lesson of never getting influenced by any celebrities again in my life. Don't forget that they usually only show what they want to be seen, and generally to reach certain levels of popularity you have to be a bit shady or have an oversized ego, which is something that I personally don't value.

I saw this bet before the matches were played, but it was not the type of bet I would make at all. A few UFC fighters I follow share their bets, I'm not impressed at all because I usually decide on the bet I will make before I see the post of the person who shared it. Just as it is not good to get investment advice when investing in the stock market, the same is true for betting. It's best to act on your own analysis.

If I was still in few years back, maybe I would, but right now, I've grown pass the stage where I would want to do what someone else did in the name of he or she bears the title "celebrity".
No body can do my thinking or take decisions for me, they have their mind and I have mine, they do their thinking and take their own decisions while I do my own thinking and take my decisions as well.

I call it foolishness to allow a celebrity influence your sense of reasoning, that can never happen with me, if I ever play the same game a celebrity played and posted, that would be because I did my own analysis and decided within my self to play the game, not influenced by the celebrity.

When you are popular then expect that there would be lots of followers and even on the things that you've been doing whether those do came from their career fan or simply when they do saw someone playing big

on a gambling community and does really have the fame.It cant really be denied there's really a certain hype that you could felt whenever you do see those kind of betting behavior.

If you are really that experienced towards sports betting then you wont really be easily be fooled on following on bets which arent that good
for you to see on.

If that celebrity also plays on the site I’m playing with right now then why not, but some are really being followed by his supporter and that’s the reason why many started to accept gambling promotions, but the government will not let that happen easily. You heard the incident of Kim paying huge amount of money because she didn’t disclose her deal? This might happen to some celebrity as well. Also in some country they already bank promotions for celebrity.

No, I don't think I would get influenced by any of the people I follow on internet (which are not many) into doing thing as they do... and if they managed to influence me it would take a while..
In this digital era where advertisement, social engineering, social media and influencers are everywhere, one needs to be aware of how easily one could bet entangled by all of these things and try to keep the focus on the things one is planning or willing to do. It is not always easy, If the musicians I follow started to post earnings from their gambling sessions I would end up taking a look to the web page, but I would dismiss their pictures as possible paid advertisement of some sort, specially if they only shared very good results and no loss.

Even me isnt really that a fan on following someones action even though im a fan of someone or does appreciate but doesnt mean that i will be following their actions.Just like the rest been
saying that nothing beats out if you do really rely with your own skills and analysis even we are speaking about gambling considering that luck is a great factor then it wouldnt be still good
to feel on losing your money just because you had followed someone.It doesnt really give out the best feeling but rather it would really be giving that regret.
When i do play then i do solely play on my own without being influenced by anyone.

That's a good approach, don't let someone affect your betting strategy. If you're betting, do it wholly on your own and don't be influenced by the celebrities.
These celebs don't mind betting a lot and losing it on an instant because they've got a lot of money to bet with and somehow it could just be a promo from the casino that they're partnered with.
Don't be too careless when it's come to your betting needs and as well as being a fan boy of a celebrity.

No I  have my own preference, besides the person become my favorite celebrity not because of gambling but because of his talent.  So I wouldn't get influenced by my favorite celebrity to do things he is promoting or play the game he is promoting unless that game fall to my interests.

It's not really a good idea. But it also depends on what I think if I'll do it or not. But if I'm convinced then, that's it.

At most times, I don't allow them to tick me in with my gambling decisions and it's like when I'm in mood then I'd do it but if not and then so be it.

It will really depend on the situation and like the others are saying, on the mood that I will have during that time.

Every people had their own way of influencing people.Some people was interested in sports,So if the sports person made some gambling advertisements.Surely huge people get into gambling from that influence.As you said some people are most likely to influence by the musicians.Like Canadian Musicians Drake was liked by huge people in this world.Even I like him very much.So Drake game will influenced enormous music addiction people for sure.

I would be curious, so somehow my favorite celebrity will influence me to play the game he is advertising but of course, whether I will continue or not depends on the personal experience I had with the game. If it is satisfying, then of course I will continue playing the game and if not, no matter how good my favorite celebrity presents the game, it is still the personal experience that matters.

The point when hiring celebrities to advertise casinos isn't to make people copy their steps, but to make the public of that celebrity  become aware about the specific casino brand being advertised. So people who enjoy gambling (despite the celebrity betting or not), will have that alternative in mind when they want to play. Other fans who don't have interest for gambling will continue not having interest for gambling, while still enjoying the celebrity on the internet, unless they have some self-confidence issues which lead them to do what others are doing for acceptance inside a social group.

I would say, it depends since not everyone are into gambling, they may like his songs but that doesn't mean they like to play gambling too. Just like how these celebrities advertise their products like soap, shampoo, food, etcetera, you probably don't want to copy all of that just because they were your favorite celebrity but there are some people who would like to be like them that to the extent they will copy everything about of their favorite celebrity just like MJ the way he look and how he dance on the stage.

It's like them trying to 'leave a mark' on people's minds by using celebrities and taking advantage of their fame. It's not really something that 's new per se, but people often idolize celebrities so much that whatever they do are copied by the fans. Kinda like worshipping celebrities just because they think their idols look cool when doing X and they think that also applies to them. Obsession is scary, and it's a real thing which leads to a lot of devastating effects to those fans who do not have their own decision when it comes to crucial things.

Imagine if it happens widely in the gambling scene, good lord.

Things are also different when it comes to gambling. People can follow that celebrity in those you mentioned examples but here in gambling, or specifically sports betting, we should know what we are doing clearly and not just follow anyone's pick even if it will come from our personal favorite.

It's difficult to imagine for me that some will put money on sports betting and they don't even know if their respective bets are good since they just followed it.

Gambling is way different to the others since it requires some money in order to do so that has a risk of becoming a habit in the long run. And who in their right mind to just randomly bet something just because they like their celebrity that doesn't mean it's a win-win to them also. It's just a newbie style of doing something like that without doing a proper research that requires a handful of skills plus and experience.

That fan might be obsessed with their favorite celebrity and it doesn't look good. If I were them I would choose what's best for me since our whole life don't need to be centered around them.

No, I have my own choice on what games to play and where casinos to gamble. But it depends if we have the same interest or I also play that particular game. I have celebrity crushes too but not to the point that I follow everything they do or use the products that they advertise.

Probably many people are influenced by their idols and this is the cons if it's about gambling. Because if you're a fan who dont gamble at all but wants to follow your celebrity idols then you might be tempted to try playing the same game. But if things didnt turn out well, it can lead to gambling problem and often it's about the losses.

OP one can follow anyone, see what they do, in fact there are users in this forum that in the sports (bet) field one could follow them, because they really have successes, but I would not follow them in their bets for the simple fact that they are good or that I becomes a "fan" or follower of a certain expert(*) (spreading the idea to anyone), that includes of course any big bet of any celebrity including Drake, that is, the final decision always has to be yours, anyway the fun of betting is that one has the power of decision and that's the fun of it, if you're not able to make your own betting decisions, it's better to entertain yourself with something else, maybe just listen to Drake's music.  :)

I will not be influenced by what my favorite Celebrity does because not everything he does can have a good effect on me, especially if it is gambling.
I'm just worried that if I get influenced and follow what he does, I could spend a lot of money and not know if I will win or lose.
But maybe if my favorite Celebrity plays a slot game, I will try to play it but of course, I will not play for big money.
But other than that game, I can only watch him and if he wins, I can only envy seeing him earn a lot of money from that gambling game.

I do not really care about something like this, I like what I like and I am not going to let myself be influenced just because a famous person prefers another game.

However it is obvious that I am part of a minority as if that was not the case then stake will not pay someone like Drake so much money and make him one of his sponsors, however I will be honest when I say I do not understand why that is the case, as even if someone admired Drake for his music that has nothing to do with his gambling abilities.

Never, because I don't think that's a good way to get a win in gambling even though when betting based on my own analysis doesn't guarantee that I will win but at least it won't make me blame others for the failures I get.

Many people bets because they are influenced by famous people, usually they will follow their social media accounts to stay updated but that shouldn't be done because I think this method will make us even lazier to get knowledge, especially in sports because usually, bettors will look for as much information as possible before placing a bet to find out the possibilities that occur in the match.

IMO. in this case it looks like the celebrity is not in the middle of promoting casino STAKE.
coincidentally, he made a football bet on the Stake casino site. however, as you said it will depend on the game he is playing.  however, what he featured was football betting where he picked one of the best matches of La Liga and Premier League. meaning the choice he makes will not directly affect his fans, unless we favorite the same team, with the one he favors betting on.

if the person who gave the reference of choice was an expert in the field, I am sure it would have a considerable influence on gamblers.

I am sort of weak when it comes to influencers honestly. I even bought computer system from website promoted by streamer on Twitch. Bad memories indeed... Anyways I think I would be influenced if I saw person I saw gambling. Like football player, streamer or actor/actress etc. But it wouldn't make me play same game. I would be more like using the service. Wondering how it works. But I would play my own thing.

no really, sometimes not all of my favorite celebrities that I follow on social media like gambling games and hardly ever see them posting what games they play or maybe it's just me who doesn't follow a celebrity gambler, if there really is maybe there are only a few who post that even though I will not be affected by what they play, there are 2 goals of many people who play gambling games, namely to make money and there are also those who want to play just for fun, I prefer to have fun filling my free time to playing gambling and not being influenced by the people around or the celebrities I follow

Some  people are easily influenced when someone they like deoes anything. I am not in this category. I am hardly influenced and I don't like or admire celebrities easily. But the main point of Drake posting his gambling slip is for the fans to know that he gambles with stake and not to tell his fans to play the exact options that he chosed.

Personally, I won't be influenced that easily by my favorite celebrity to try something new or even to try some things I'm interested with. I will still conduct a background check to know if it's worth the shot before I actually engage to it. The celebrity's influence might make me curious, but it won't suffice. I'll still have to do my thing which is gather information about it and see if it will be worth my time and money.

When it comes to gambling, a person must have a credible personality first before he'll gain my attention. Having a good reputation and credibility of the endorser about gambling can make someone's confidence boost to try it too. If someone is known to have a good reputation as a celebrity and a great record of being a responsible gambler, it might be a positive sign. Because you will be curious why that person is endorsing a certain gambling website. If someone as good as he is, is supporting and working for that casino site, then the reliability of the casino must be good. That will be the analogy of the people especially the fans.

Perhaps some bandwagons would join too, but that would be up to them. Afterall, there are people who are easily impacted by small things. Some prefer to join the hype and some prefer to support all the way through their liked personality.

not in me mate , yeah i have idols but i know how to distance myself from losing if i will just follow them , and besides we have different interests at all and also maybe different teams?

but I would love seeing them bet together because this will inspire me into betting and playing more.

I play gambling so yes. Ill be glad to join my idol on his game, it is like another way of showing a support. I am not that good enough when it comes to sportsbetting and I mostly follow my friends' bets. If I can follow them then why not this one?

When drake is more superior to them. This isn't the first time drake posted a bet slip, and his last game were also a win. That is why many people likes to ride some of his bets, thinking that drake already have a good experience on this game. He also risk huge amount of money, which can be a sign that he is confident with his picks. Unfortunately, the recent game is a loss but we can just assume that it's part of gambling. Not all times we can be a winner but we can always try again next time.

Almost all of those who responded to this topic do not want to be influenced by a celebrity when it comes to their own money to be used for gambling. And I don't think celebrities care about us gamblers on gambling platforms
of cryptocurrency.

And you're right dude unless we also like the games he's promoting. But even so, at the end of the day, it's still our money that we will lose, not a celebrity.

OP, I have watched all Drake's streaming sessions on Stake.com and he has always lost all of his bankroll at the end. The Millions he is losing ...is but a drop in an ocean of the money he is making from his career. (Like you setting aside say 1% of your Net income for gambling as an entertainment budget)  ;)

Drake just love to repeat the same pattern of numbers in Roulette and he stays on those patterns, even after a lot of losses. (His favorite number looks to be 11)

I would not follow his example, because he has millions to waste on gambling ....but you might find some useful strategies on Youtube that might help you to extend your playing time.  ;)

A celebrity is just a regular guy who is more famous than I am, why should I have believed his predictions because he said so? I am wagering with my own money, not any free money, it would be silly for me to do so. These are not the regular types of minor leagues or matches one will assume he may fix since the amount he bet is eye-catching, this is Premier League we are talking about and also one of the greatest Spanish Leagues(El Clasico), so anything you don't expect may happen.

Arsenal was a sure bet that they would win, if not for the technical problems they encountered, they would have defeated Leeds United more by a large margin of goals but why bet on El Clasico and think Barcelona is going to win when Real Madrid is also prepared and even the records show that Madrid has the highest winnings? Maybe the influence of a fan affected him and waste money.

Celebrities can be well known and they can influence a lot of things, but they also are the ones that do mislead people, not kind of person like me they misled but people that have little knowledge and no experience about something. Just like in gambling, anyone that just go for Drake's prediction without making analyses of his own is just a fool and such person can not have good gambling strategies. I was very surprised that Barcelona can be chosen to win Real Madrid when Real Madrid is not bad at all while playing and it is Real Madrid's home.

That's good to know. I have never been influenced by Drake's bets and after reading your post I must have done everything right. In my view, a celebrity is not a good advisor for a bet. He's not an expert on betting, just someone who bets for fun.

I'll never start listening to celebrity like that either. That would take the fun out of me and afterwards, if I lost, I would be annoyed about it.  ;)

Definitely, what do you expect? celebrities are there enjoying their weekly pay by the various sport organizations and that does make a drop of one penny to us, we would rather still go out there and oay for their viewing on live marches, I think taking a step needs enough calculations and reasonings before if will end up on a regret, these celebrities been talked about have nothing different from us than fame in their field of proficiency.


I rarely come across a football or any other sport celebrity on charity mission, they don't usually help or give back to the community that birth through thier career path, most of them don't even gambles, some do worse things that you could ever attempted doing and after their season of fame ends with their signed contracts, they become useless and irrelevant to the world except for those that has helped humanity during their pick of fame.

Perhaps I would be interested to hear the opinion of a celebrity on an event that interests me, but only to listen to his opinion. In fact, it is enough to listen to a few dozen of his forecasts to understand how good he is at this. But in any case, I will make the decision myself, so what impact it will not have on me. And if I see that his predictions are bad, then I will no longer watch him, because there will be no point in this. I am responsible for my bets and I risk my own money, so I do not listen much to other people's opinions.

Depends on the background of celebrity since if they have experience and known to be a example gambler then maybe he's advices given is valid. But if the celebrity doesn't know about what he do and just randomly promote some platform without even thinking then I guess I will never believe them since for sure there main intention money and all they made is for their personal gain only.

The only person, whos advices I will take into consideration and listen fully are my parents. Parents are the only influencers a person should listen to. All other people are either fake, or get kind of profit for themselves when they suggest or advertise something, rare person does something for free. Parents will never want anything bad for their kid. With Drake as an example from first post - he is paid by stake. Even if his bet looses, I am 200% sure stake will pay it back. Definition of word celebrity - famous person, usually a person whos is connected with acting. I would not trust someone who is good at acting, as it is impossible to tell his true motives.

I shouldn't be influenced by any games that other people play including famous artists. Of course I have to make my own decision to choose which game I want and most importantly based on my own analysis. For example in El Clasico, I think the correct bet is Real Madrid win because Barcelona are not good at defending.

So basically they won't influence me about the game selection, but it's possible that the choices could be the same if I was really sure about it and certainly not with their influence.

I absolutely agree with you. Gambling or betting gives real emotions only when we make our own decisions. I have followed someone else's betting advice several times in my life and have been disappointed in the outcome of most of these matches. In my opinion it is more interesting to analyze the result of a match by yourself and if the analysis is done correctly, this bet will bring me much more good emotions than I would bet on someone else's advice.

Yeah, at times when we go with the bets against the odds and winning will be really enjoyable than the winning amount. This means, based on the prediction specific team have low odds. The opponent will be having higher odds, which shows the winning chance of the respective team is low.

Usually good celebrities are endorsing only good teams, and that's why many got hyped because of that promotions.
I always bet with my own analysis, I can't find any reason to rely on someone though I can admit that those celebrities affects my decision sometimes, but I still make sure to have some analysis, betting is indeed more fun if you understand the sports and you bet with your favorite team. Just bet carefully, know where to put your money safely.

It's hard to rely our personal gambling decisions on the suggestions and promotions of famous celebrities and influencers even if they're our favorites. It's better to have our own analysis and critical thinking about our gambling moves and choices. Most of them are being paid to promote sites but that doesn't mean that their promotions are always applicable to us.

I think it's high time we differentiated between a celebrity and a role model. As for me, there is nothing a celebrity would do that would entice me, 'I am just me.' But for a role model, you might be caught unaware if they are engaging in gambling and you care to watch their lifestyles more often. One day you might want to give it a try.

Regardless of what influences you, one should be careful of influencers, 'don't smell what you don't want to eat.' If you do, you might not know the time what you dislike will be your usual habit.

It was a good attempt for sure and I cannot really say whether if it is a good idea or not to follow these famous celebrities who bet huge amounts and gamble regularly just like Drake because as a gambler, betting which team, fighter or player is our sole responsibility. What I'm trying to say is we cannot really put our fate in their hands just because of their status, we should weigh the options and possibilities first while comparing our bets to theirs before putting our final decision. Just like what the OP have said, people followed Drake's bet without thinking twice which led them to losses.

Depends on how great is your favorite celebrity in sports betting, if he do it solely for endorsement purpose because of he is a brand ambassador of a bookie, I have to say it is a mistake if you follow his bet.
But if he is doing it because he is also a professional sports bettor with a great experience, it is fine to follow his bets.
I myself prefer to bet with my own prediction and analysis than following others because it is more challenging when I bet with my own prediction.
 

In general, some basic skills are required in sports betting. If not, the chances of winning the bet are slightly reduced. Both luck and skill are required. If one's favorite celebrity is betting on a game, some fans will prefer to bet on the same site. Again many will give importance to his own analysis. It basically depends on the personal preference of the gambler.

Maybe. It wouldn’t hurt. To give an example, I started wanting to promote stake.com after I saw some of my favorite influencers doing the same. I guess it made me feel sort of cool to be on the same team as them, even if my paychecks were considerably lower. Not to mention it also lends credibility to the operation to see someone you respect showing that they trust them.

But I see celebrities always make bets because they are bookie ambassadors so I guess it's not good even I never follow him even though he is a professional in sports betting if still in bookie ambassador.

And it's true that the skill we have to have in predicting it is much better and challenging I prefer what I believe in myself than seeing celebrities who do it.
For me it remains a big mistake if the bet follows someone else.

Actually I can be influenced in some of his life style but not in gambling. He is a professional in singing, not in gambling, this will make me not play the same game with my favorite celebrity because I know that I might lose. I know of a case that this guy is always forecasting numbers and winning, also predicting matches too,so every morning so many persons will go to him to forecast the day game for them or they play same game. It was working initially that I was also tempted to get numbers and scores him but I said no,that day his prediction was wrong and so many persons lost with him. To my surprise the game turned around to favour me so since then I learnt to always believe in yourself not someone when gambling because our lucks differ.

When you are fan of someone and then they do really make out some bets then its not really that bad to go along or would really be betting on the same option as long it do get in line on what you had analyzed too.
Its true that it is really  that better if you do really make bets on your own which it wont really be leaving out negative thoughts and impressions which you might really be regretting if the outcome would be a lose bet.
Never get yourself that influenced nor been affected the way you do bet just because your favorite celebrity had really made out some bets too.Always stick with your own ways and never
be that dependent and also, making out your own bets is more entertaining and enjoyable compared into those situations which you arent the ones who do make up some choosing.

If you can be influenced by a celebrity, I think it will very easier for them to persuade you to do what they do, that is one of the effects of being influenced, you will want to do what they do in replicating their lifestyles, you want to wear the same brands even if are fake ones just to mimic them, you do them without seeing the bad side of it but in this case, losing bets.
Let me use Elon Musk as another example, Elon has achieved that state of wealth where he gets people to do what he wishes in a matter of minutes, just like 4 days ago, he sold out about $2 million worth of burnt hair perfume with a single tweet, the sells might increase as I am writing this and that is what the power of been influenced can do.

Indeed right, if you are being influenced by other people you are following them blindly, in most cases fashions or something related are the
one that celebrities influenced their fans.

But in terms of gambling, maybe there are also some but not that many, gamblers have their own ways of gambling, and they are really
taking things seriously, those who are taking this business as serious venue for making money.

They are not that easy to influence since they are using their own styles and strategy.

Even in his singing career though, lol, I don't know how you can be influence by Drake. However, I can't judge you by that, maybe we are of different age. But as far as gambling, I don't look up for this celebrities, Drake could bet as much as he can, but if that is not my favorite sport that he is betting then obviously I won't be betting. And even if that is the game that I usually bet, I still not going to follow or influence by him.

When I was a crypto newbie I used to think that the best projects always come from celebs, if the project isn't shill by a celeb I have no interest until John McAfee shot me in the leg, I trusted this man but one project I released was scam and I lost a lot of money, your money is your money do not trust celebrities.

Bad experience isn't it? if you try to listen to this so called influencers. Maybe it's really the psychology that this celebrities are bringing in the table like Drake and others that we have seen in Youtube or in Twitch. Watching them bet huge and makes us do the same.

The outcome though might be different, so yes, it's our money, so we need to be careful where and how we spent it in gambling and not just listen to this influencers.

Majority of fans always wanted to mimic their idols.  So  there is a huge possibility that a person got influenced by their favorite celebrity is very high.  Fans like, respect and follow their favorite celebrity especially when a person is a die hard fans of that celebrity.


Nope, I think that is the power of a great marketer not an influencer.

Influencers are also promoters and they are just making a money thru the video they created so listening on what they are saying or doing then follow then is kinda not good to take. Maybe its a good basis to look at what they do but don't get hook with them since for sure they will not cover you up once you lose all your money. We need to be more careful on following them and only trust our instinct.

^Definitely right and I never follow them even though they are my favorite.
It seems like the same on my favorite vloggers on social media that I always updated their new funny videos come. At the end of the video clip, they had advertisement games apps that they played, I skip that video or never watch it. Because I know that it is gambling and I don't want to download any gambling apps to my device which is I prefer to use gambling casino websites. So they cannot influence me in that way.

If it's my money I won't follow the celebrity or the person who give suggestions, and I'll go with my choice. If the celebrity have distributed some bonus out of some special promotion or done it to make the game more interesting I'll think of going upon celebrities pick. As most of the users mentioned, when a celebrity expose his gambling picks surely he'll be granted by the respective platform as it brings more users to the platform.

Luckily, I don't have a strong celebrity idol. Just ordinary.
And even if I have it, I don't think I will depend on what he/she chooses. Not necessarily if he's good at gambling right? It could be that they are just endorsers.

In this case, whatever we do, it would be better if we have our own opinion, based on our analysis and also our abilities, when it comes from other people, including favorite celebrities, it would be better if it is used as one of the considerations. Not to always follow it

It's caused by you were thinking that if celebs will bring a good impact to the project and said the project was legit while the truth was not always like that. So many newbies were blindly following him but it seems like that this is related with gambling platform. The problem is will you try to bet on something that you doesn't even know about that while your favroutie celebrity was telling your to do that through updating their feed about their choices? The mistake that is always be made by newbies are the same.

One should know what's right from left, good or bad advantage and disadvantages and should not let what people say or do control you.
I know this will be all about Drake also know as Champagne papi who lost the bet as a result of Barcelona failing to win that game.
What he does can't move me at all as a gambler one should be focused on what gives him money at all cost.
That have had to do with a little agresion into the game next

It all depends on how long I know the celebrity and how often I have seen his winnings. Most times some of the betting companies give endorsement deals to celebrities so they could attract most of their fans to choose their betting platform, in this case, I can only play a game that is posted by my favorite celeb if he's not in any deal with the betting company because he wouldn't want his fans to push the betting company into bankruptcy so the celeb will always do things that will favour the company and I think playing a game posted by him will end up losing and nothing more. But in the case of a game posted by my favorite celeb who is into gambling and knows how to make the right selections which am aware of, am going to play his games with the amount I can endure if there is a loss but not all the games and all the time though.

If I like a celebrity, I can use the betting site the celebrity is using, but that does not mean I will use the celebrity predictions. I may check his predictions, make my own analyses and see if it is good or not. But I have never done that before, I use prediction sites sometimes, but most importantly is my own ways and analysing the both clubs that are playing, checking their recently past performances, their players that are playing and checking their head to head. It is just foolishness to solely depend on celebrity endorsed by a betting site.

Those are investments. It's different when it comes to gambling.
But it's true, you don't have to follow them fully, just use them as a basis for your bet but the final decision should be up to how you analyze the game. (if it's sports betting)
I always use just google for looking at favorites and betting predictions. Now I am following celebrities to see their picks. Most of the time I end up going against them because I am an underdog fan but I also end up losing my bet. It's not that they are always correct but these guys also have a group to analyze the game especially if they are putting in a lot of money.

It's true we shouldn't let other people take advantage of us and follow their lead blindly. The first question that comes to mind when I see more and more celebrities post their gambling slips online, if they are being paid for it. It could always be a marketing campaign by the casino or bookmaker to promote their company. Millions of people are following the celebrities on social media and might be convinced to do it themselves. With Drake we already know he likes to gamble and posts his bets regularly and of course it fits to his lifestyle of being a rapper. Another thing is these huge betting slips look cool, but we always need to bring them in relation to their total networth. For any normal person these are insane sums, for a celebrity it's only pocket money. That is also why we shouldn't be betting large sums of our money only to follow a celebrity on twitter. They are probably not so heavily invested like us in the bet and don't feel bad if they lose their bet, whereas for us it could ruin everything. Also celebrities might not have any additional information and their bet is probably based on gut feelings, so they don't give us an edge for making a quick profit.

Well, yes, if Jennifer Lopez gives a prediction for El Classico, then it’s clear that I won’t watch it, although I’m sure that he will be able to get millions of views. :) Sometimes I can watch the predictions of some well-known privateer, because they usually have the latest news about the upcoming event and this can be valuable information before the match. But in fact, I very rarely look at any forecasts, whether it's a celebrity or just privateer...

I agree with this.

We should be responsible for our own actions. Basing our decisions solely on what we see and feel might really cost us a lot later on. If we are not going to be vigilant, then probably we'll also fall victim on too good to be true opportunities. I have the same mentality everytime I see a good feedback about something. I always think if they are being paid to give compliment and good reviews about the product or the experience. This is why I do my own background search to satisfy my curiosity.

Although there are some celebrities that put a disclaimer in their post whenever it is sponsored, but not everyone do the same, so sometimes I politely ask about it including the cons if they experienced any. And if they won't response, then I'm going to do my own thing which is to verify the information provided to see whether the claims are all true or just made up. It's not really a bad thing to be meticulous. In fact, in can save you from so many troubles, so we should all learn how to properly distinguish which is true and which is fake or paid.

It is a good thing to learn or follow up with the celebrities in sport generally because there's a taught that could be learned from their professional charisma but we must be very careful through which what we learnt from them, take the good and drop the bad ones, negative influence is bad and must not be encouraged at all means, we got some people who has been under follow up with their celebrities and later build their dream from it, we must only be vibrant enough in deciding forbthe good and not the bad characters from whom we follow.

I absolutely agree with you. Following the bets of a celebrity whose main income has nothing to do with betting is like flipping a coin and depending on which way it falls. Like you, I believe that analyzing your teams, lineups, and players before deciding on a bet is one of the major factors that may not only help you win, but also improve your analytical skills.

I have some actors that I like right but if they make a bet I won't follow their advice because I know it's not their forte. most artists bet based on their feelings alone not with careful analysis, that's different from the predictors that are spread out there. despite the reality on the ground that luck has a big role, in-depth analysis is very important, besides that odds also affects.

Nobody is arguing that being influenced is bad, but when do you believe a fan should disregard that influence and follow their own judgment? Gambling is just one of the decisions that some people find difficult to make as a result of celebrity influence, as Drake has proved with the recently concluded EL Clasico. This wasn't the first bet Drake has placed and lost, and many of his fans have copied him in the hopes of making Gucci belts out of it. Who knows that it is a condition of agreements signed with stakedotcom to use Drake's name in marketing to sell a few tickets; in reality, Drake didn't lose any money.  :'(

That's good because at least you can choose what's good for them and not always follow what they suggest. They are people who have more money than us and they will easily be able to get money in many ways while we have to work hard to earn more money. They can easily place bets because they have the money. If they lose, they must still have a lot of money. We cannot follow what they are doing because we have to manage our own money and not take risks like them.

Gambling should never be conducted by following a favorite celebrity on sports betting or other gambling platforms. We all believe that winning and losing in gambling depends entirely on luck. So before following someone compare with your own standards. If it matches your criteria then no problem but if not then research between the two opinions ‍and then you can bet wisely.

I definitely agree with this, we must not forget what these influencers do for a living. Companies are seeking for them because aside from their fame, they can promote their products as they knew exactly how to sell it by using some sweet words to the public. In reality, even these influencers rarely use what they market, so it's not really a good idea to follow what they are sharing. It's still good to find the answer yourself because it is your own responsibility, not theirs.

This is a sound reasoning, but an interesting nuance is that if we take a professional in some field and he tells us his opinion about the bets or shows his bet on the upcoming sporting event (boxer on boxing, football expert on football, etc.), then we shouldn't listen to him anyway. Firstly, this is a money issue and here we can rely only on ourselves so as not to shift the blame on someone else. We must clearly understand that we ourselves make the decision. Secondly, even a professional in some kind of sport still cannot beat the bookmaker. Otherwise, we would only hear about how professional athletes or experts do it.

Influencers/celebrities promoting a gambling platform became a trend nowadays since most of the people now have access on the internet.

Same as trying new product, I would definitely try the gambling game they promote and I guess it's normal to be influenced by the people we idolize. It's also hard to resist the temptation of not trying if those people are showing some good gains.

Honestly, in my country promoting online gambling platform from celebrities and vlogers are very trend as it was some project facilitator pay them to introduce their game. Which is when other people's see that their idols or thierb favorate celebrity promoting that then they will also try. So as I say that many people in my country got influenced in their idols in the internet or in the TV show.

So true. If we just follow what our favorite celebrities do, I'm afraid we'll suffer a loss that we can't even accept and maybe we'll get depressed seeing the number of defeats we get. Maybe it would be better if we gamble only using the money we can afford so that if something bad happens, for example, we lose, we won't lose for the big amount. That would be more acceptable than following favorite celebrities because they have money, whereas we are not like them.

Influence is a broad thing. But given 'idols' have the power to encourage people towards or away something, there is a high tendency that some people would be affected or influenced by celebrities into such activities. Gambling perhaps is an example; those who are not into gambling could be persuaded to try which means there would be a chance for them to be hooked up with such activity one their attention is carried away. Factors such as trustworthiness (which I deem to be the biggest), could boost the confidence of those who are not really into it. There are many gambling sites to choose from but given someone they know promoted it, it could be something which could make them choose that specific website.

Seeing some celebrities were wrongly predicting the result of some matches in EPL. that proves that if we shall not even believe with them. They were judging based from their opinion and we have the same right as them even if we are not influencer like all of them.
I will never try to believe in others. I trust myself more than anything. That's enough for me to have  very good decision based from what i have gotten in my analysis.
I think that we have experienced so many people can be influenced easily if they were blatantly believing without doing any research before.

I’m influenced by my favorite celebrities to a point. For example, I’m a big fan of Shaquille O’Neal so when I saw him launch an NFT charity project, I wanted to buy in to support him. I didn’t care about the performance of the NFT or if I made money, but you could say I was influenced to buy it because of his celebrity status. Does this mean I would invest in ShaqCoin or use a gambling platform just because Shaq promoted it? Probably not, but it would likely get me to check it out.

I believe professional influencers are a good type of people one can choose to go after with the acknowledgement of their delightful and deligent service in the field of their expertise, everyone want to live big, grow and develop in every aspect of life and so are people desperate enough in looking for whom to look on as a model for them to achieve theit m target goals in life, it has worked out for good in many cases for gamblers or any other person found involved inbthis category of being influenced, time will evident it how they have been through together with the celebrity they chose.

In short, we all could be influenced by our favorite celebrities in whatever they endorsed, advertised, or what they even do on a daily basis. However, it will be our own decision and critical thinking if we will do, copy or even buy what they are promoting. Just as you've said, If Shaq has made his own token such as "shaqcoin" or is gambling on a certain gambling platform, then it will be our own decision if we will be investing or gambling on the same platform, but we have already been influenced by them to check those out.

When it comes to public opinions, the people also like to go with the known celebrities and there's no doubt their influence is as such that perpetuate OgNasty as well to buy and jey into the token been adverticed, cebebrities have this public influence that can move and persuade people for a particular thing as long as the celeb has the interest and mind of the people along, we could see also in gambling that many casinos now use the influence of celebrities to launch thier tokens and advertise their website all because of influence.

Celebrities are ordinary people like you and me. The only difference is the money or exposure they have that I do not have. It does not mean that they are more intelligent than I am or that they are all knowing. I will not make my decision based on what any celebrity says. Turn the question around and ask anyone if a celebrity tells them to put their hands into fire will they do it? And see the reaction.

They’re human like the rest. They’ve just got more money to spend than the average human does. That does not make them smart or a role model to others. Celebrities sometimes make the dumbest decisions.
Besides, no celebrity could Influence my decision on what and whatnot to do.

Actually its undeniable that there influence can really convince us to try what they are doing but for sure in short time span we will realize that they are just enjoying what they are doing while us trying to get some money base on their suggestion. But still it will all matter to us on how far we can take what they are promoting since for sure if we been realistic here we cannot copy what they do and for sure it will be different scenario to us then we may struggle while playing.

If you're just influenced by a celebrity whose skill is inferior to yours then you're just wasting your money, adoring your favorite celebrity and playing with your own money is different, you can imitate your celebrity, dress the way they dressed but play and getting influenced is very different, you should check if he is better than your analysis if he is good then you can go for wat he's betting, if not then do your own analysis.

Drake is very popular and that bet was shared many times which I also noticed. Arsenal won over Leeds but Barcelona lost to Real Madrid. Drake lost near to 50% of his bet. I am no fan of Drake, I don't like his music and his genre. I am also not following any of my idol celebrities bets if they were showing tickets and betting advice. The only chance I follow a bet from someone is when their betting and advice history are having high winning record.   

Not really. I still play with what I think I’m good and skilled at it. But if we share common interest, then maybe I will try to play the same game with him. After all, I never gamble for huge amount, just an extra amount from my budget, so that if I lose, I won’t be fully regretting. The fact that my money is at stake, I’m sure I won’t take the risk gambling in a game without thinking, even if most of the games are still luck based.

Yeah.... that seems true to you, doesn't it? Infact, that's why they're called celebrities; cus they could influence you in the least, possible way/ time.You'll see 'em -- a couple of times -- pulling up on a video with the newly-fancied Gucci model brand, now all you'll do is to get yourself that brand if you're really his fan, just like Drake himself.

I don't think he posted that for anyone to applaud him? Do you think so? Why should he post 'em in the first place, if he'd never wanted his fans to play alongside? Or you think he's just tryna showoff? IDK.
But I bet that 90% of his fan base will get on that.

But never follow your favorite celebrity if they use a lot of money to gamble because we are not the ones who easily raise money. We must know ourselves and our limit and not always follow their way because our life is very different from theirs. Maybe if they provide analysis and invite us to play together, we can follow it but we must always be able to regulate the amount of money we will use to gamble. Never spend money that we can't afford because the risk of losing it will still be there.

First of all; I used the Stake platform. I know they are a successful and good platform. That's why I think Drake is collaborating with the right campaign... If someone offers me something and I have the opportunity to test it, I take a small risk and test it. So even if I didn't know anything about the Stake platform, after Drake's advice, I would take a small risk and test it once, because I think this type of ad collaboration is very normal in our age. I don't see a reason enough to find this method strange because it is used by everyone. As a result, I am not influenced by the celebrities I love, but I take their advice into consideration...

I wouldn't influenced from anybody if im going to betting. If its not happened as predicted i can blame myself and it wont change my playing habits. But if there is a someone to blame it will be effective on your decision when you are betting next time. You will say its her/him fault not mine, I can do it better bla bla bla. If its nonsense to you check that gamblers who playing against live dealer. You will see their anger and losses on the chat box :)

Betting cannot be blamed on others. In this case, your role is important for winning and losing. I am never influenced by others in my betting but sometimes like to keep my bets with other people's influence. If both agree, I place that bet. And i think anyone should not do it particularly influenced by others.

I will not follow pairs taken by celebrities without even researching / seeing previous predictions, because we know that we will suffer defeat, when I am going to place a bet I better look at the predictions and make conclusions about which team to play. if it's the same it's just a coincidence,

It seems to me that there is a certain share of bettors who follow other people's opinions, and to a greater extent this applies to beginners because they are not able to take responsibility for themselves. If they win they take credit for their winnings and if they lose they just blame the person or organization they were advised by.

Personally, I don't see the point in this kind of betting because in this situation the main point of betting is lost - personal analysis. 

Celebrities are known for different things in their different careers in life. We have football celebrities, music celebrities and more. If a famous gambling pointer makes their bet public, I can follow him because he knows what he is doing and not a music celebrity who doesn't understand the secret in gambling.

If this is about Drake, who plays in stake and they are basically trying to influence people to play there, it's not the drake gambling there that makes it a big deal, it's the idea that stake is doing some sort of marketing at that level which matters. I personally believe that it could have been another person too, doesn't matter, drake, jay-z, mgk, eminem, or football player, or ex one at least, basketball, famous celeb on Hollywood, some big name actor, it doesn't matter who it is.

The "idea" is the thing that took interest with people, Stake works with some famous person while no other place does. It's not the celeb that influences you, it's the fact that stake is big enough to do that which influences you.

Celebrities are influencers and it's their job to influence others. When it comes to Drake, he is a promoter of Stake.
This is why he gambles on Stake and posts it because he is being paid to that.
I would personally not follow any influencer for any of my gambling and I would gamble however I want.

As far as i know FC Barcelona even was wearing the logo of Drake on their jerseys during that game against Real Madrid. So that was definitely a coordinated marketing action of Barcelona, Stake and Drake because drake is also advertising for stake. Well in the end it was a pretty bad suggestion from Drake because Barca have lost that match.
To answer your first question: No i would never be influenced because some celebrity showed their bets or something. The main reason for that is that i am an adult and i know that this are just marketing actions and not genuine bets placed by them. Also i don't really have a favorite celebrity. I don't care about celebrities and i thinkt that people that are totally admiring some celebrity pretty cringy to be honest.

We think they are simply a celebrity and they have no talent in gambling but why there are so many celebrity who are on the news because they are spotted playing a gambling? This could mean that they also developed this hobby even before and they only don't show it on public. They already built a good skill on it so they are also worth it to follow.

I think that many people are going to follow the bets of their favorite celebrity if the game they play are sports betting because sports betting requires analysis in order to increase your chances of winning but for the casino games, I guess many will hesitate since it was only based on luck.

Exactly, that they work from a marketing contract so they publish on social media according to the deal contract they want to promote, unless he gambles at any top casino and he is often recorded gambling activity in offline casino, so without him posting anything about gambling activity then we already know him as a real gambler. Agreed with you, I also don't have any favorite celebrities related to gambling and I don't care if they promote any casino because they are only advertising because it is related to a marketing contract to promote the casino platform.

Gambling is risky already and if you bet based on the hype of that celebrity, you are just increasing the risk of losing the money do I agree with this one, we should always make our own analysis as well. We cannot just rely on those promotions, and even if they claim to be good at betting I will still not follow them because I have my own standard on betting and I have to follow that strategy, that’s self-control I guess it’s a big help for your gambling activities as well.

I think most gamblers won't follow their favorite celebrities because if you know the sports, you will bet what you think has high chance of winning.
You may follow what those celebrities are betting but I don't think it will come to the point that you will also follow whatever they will bet on.
We don't also know if these celebrities are promoting something or not, being paid or not. So we don't know if this is their own disposition.
Most long time gamblers won't follow their favorite celebrities but maybe for youngsters or die hard fans, it may influence their betting habits.

This is your point of view but in general, people follow celebrities and do whatever celebrities are doing. That's the reason we see many companies use celebrities in their marketing ads and pay a large amount of money to them in order for them to make an ad for their company. They know that the company product will gain attention if a famous celebrity talks about it.

So if any celebrity talks about a gambling platform, this will definitely increase their traffic, as the celebrity fans will also follow him and will play at the same casino. Marketing using celebrity influence is modern day technique to gain customers and gamblers in this case.

You might have a point in your first statement but on the last one, we are talking about gambling here and not a usual product endorsed by the celebrity. Since it's about risking money thing, I doubt fans will follow that celebrity even to the point that they will consider gambling.

It also depends on the chosen celebrity as if that person is not a gambling enthusiast then become a endorser of gambling platform, the marketing might not be clicked to the viewers.

That should be the case here since gambling is not a joke. Even though my celebrity now turned into marketing a gambling site, my decision still depends on me.

I'm only trusting my bets and no one can influence it.

I just hope though that the said gambling site will be successful in hiring that celebrity.

But there are people who doesn't like to listen with their parents because they think it is a hindrance for their success because you know, our parents are sometimes over-protected and don't want us to do the things that we love but I guess it can also depend on what type of parent we have and on what type of activity we are planning to do.

If it's something illegal then it's normal that your parents will restrict you from doing it because they only want to avoid you from trouble. We should obey it if that is the case. About drake, you are right. He is an asset of stake casino so it is hard to believe on what he is showing or saying but if it's other celebs then I might consider following them.

I'm shocked that you can say this, don't you know that celebrities are like idols to some fans? Many fans are worse than dummies in practising their favourite celebrities or in following their advice. What is happening on social media these days should have informed you of many things, to the extent that some fans would dress like them, walk like them, use their exact products and even the same apps and bank account. So, celebrities influence their audience more than you think, though some still have their minds.

You are absolutely right about that, because today's celebrity is an example who will influence his fans. Regarding gambling advertised by celebrities, of course, they already have a wider target market, their target market is adults who really like gambling. Even the celebrities chosen by gambling companies are sexy celebrities and have a lot of followers. indirectly it will attract attention with her sexy body and the products advertised. Celebrity lifestyle becomes the lifestyle of his fanatical fans as well.

In my country it is illegal, but there are foreign famous people, some even as high as A-List Hollywood people, and that doesn't really matter to me. There are some things that celebrities could influence me with, like I once donated to cancer hospital to be built, the biggest in my nation, and many celebs got together to make both ads on tv, and all shared it on their social media accounts, and we as a nation all donated to it, and that hospital was built, it’s now saving dozens of people per day, it was a great thing.

But when it comes to gambling, I look at the facts, the odds, the house edge, the rewards, the trust rating, those things matter more.

Definitely, if you'll get an endorser who are not known with the business that they will going to endorse even the person is really a well-known celebrity the impact is not that much, but if you will put someone like Drake or someone who are also involve into gambling the impact will clearly shows with how the traffics that will be gained.

It's logically true that celebrity can influence their fans as long as they are into the right business to promote.

The good catch, promoters understand the drill and they are good at finding the right people to advertise, so it will be a win-win for the business.

If this question is for every individual, then my answer is yes, because most likely I will be interested in following what he is betting on, of course at that time I will think about this moment of togetherness with one of the idols, so it is very likely to follow his steps , although I already know what the risks might be.

It's ok to be influenced as long as you first did your analysis then if you are not sure of your own prediction, you take your favorite celebrities' bets because we must admit it, these celebrities are betting huge amounts of money, they are not just throwing away their money, they ask expert's opinion and check other people's predictions sometimes inside knowledge of the condition of the games and players, celebrities are also getting insider's tips, but celebrities bets are not perfect bets sometimes or most of the times they screw up.

Yes, if we look at it from a business perspective, what you say is absolutely true.
There are many gambling platforms that use the services of celebrities to advertise their companies, as you describe in this post.  however, in the OP's post, the celeb made a soccer bet. which is where he shows a screenshot of his defeat.
Obviously, this wasn't part of the plan. maybe for other types of bets for example slot machines, dice or others will have an effect on the fans. maybe, I don't know for sure.

however in soccer betting sessions, there are more technical things to find out than referring to the choices that celebrities make.  As far as I'm concerned, the choices that celebrities make will not have a big impact on soccer gambling enthusiasts.
because after all we have our own analysis that will determine the choice in betting.

Because someone is a celebrity does not mean they can be good in business. If it is about using them to get mileage in advertising products and services that can be true. But if it is to make business decision, I will not advice anyone to follow a celebrity on that. Except it is a celebrity you know has a career in business. This people have lots of money that they risk alot. Losses may not affect them like it will affect anyone who takes a decision based on what celebrities say. The game and gambling industry find them attractive for adverts because they know most celebrities are care free with money.

Yes, they are just a humans just like us, the only difference is our status compared to them but that doesn't mean that they are much wiser than us. You know, bets are not always guaranteed winnings, so these famous influencers/celebrities are also vulnerable to losses, just like us. It is much better to do your own research and analysis while comparing yours to theirs, rather than putting the fate of your bets in their hands.

Yes, i agree with you. Everyone needs money. Someone would be big celebrity or something. Since they are also human, the knowledge difference between a celebrity and a normal gambler will not be much that can be slight difference. Even other gamblers may be wiser than the celebrity. So never underestimate own self. I think the best thing to do in gambling is to give the highest priority to own intelligence.

When we do talk about gambling then such differences wont really be that much noticeable or something relevant specially if we are dealing with luck based where odds would be totally random.

Doesnt matter on what is your reputation or popularity.Odds on winning the game would really be just the same.Some people are easily get hooked up into their idols been doing or

things which they are involved with.In my part then its better to play with your own preferences and choices which in case that you do lose then you cant
really point up fingers on where you do blame on.

Therefore, if we think we are already good at gambling, then we don't need the influence of this celebrity regardless if we are fans of them or not.

For example in sports betting, let's say we are good at it (and I can say I'm good at it lol) and suddenly I saw my favorite celebrity promoting a gambling platform and even sharing their sports pick. My quick response is not to just follow it because I already have knowledge of it.

For let's say my favorite celebrity shared a football pick, I won't follow it because I don't know football. I will just stick with the sports I have knowledge of.

It's a good choice not to be affected by gambling posts from celebrities, but there is no denying that there are things that make fans can be affected by these posts, namely the amount of value he won, just like in trading how many traders post trading profits so that it attracts people even though there are many losses they hide, so celebrities can be wrong and they are most likely not to post bets that are losing.

I did not hear many tweets or posts from celebrities about gambling ? This is because gambling is not considered good in some parts of the world and people think that gambling is for the riches or who have a lot of money to waste or spend whatever.

I think responsible celebrities should tell both sides of the picture that they lose also in gambling as well as winning. Famous Celebrities should not represent gambling as an easy way of making money, though gambling houses want people to think like this. Since people listen to and follow Celebrities, a lot of responsibility lies on their shoulders to present a true picture of gambling.

Only loyal fans that will be following them. People with sense will never try to do that caused by it's about your money. Myself was caring so much with it. I meant let's say that when you are betting following what already told by others and that's pretty much the same like your celebrity who has been betting with your money and it's not you with your money that already made a bet. When you are suffering the lose and then you will be losing your money. I do believe some may be affected to follow what him.

See this logic:

Only loyal fans will follow celebrities
People with sense will not follow celebrities
Which means fans are not having sense.

That is the logic, but I am only just joking, but that is just what you said, but not what you meant though.

It is not even about if we think about it, it does not make any sense to follow celebrity and stake the clubs they stake to win. This is football, we can do the thing ourselves, not that celebrity are better than us, they are only just celebrities. If care is not taken, they will mislead us.

I somewhat agree with this.

You'll seldom see celebrity broadcasting their gambling ways. There are very few who go publicly because of the stigma that comes along with gambling. Gambling still has a negative connotation and we can't really deny that. This is why most of the big personalities who gamble keep it hidden from the public because they might face scrutiny.

As a celebrity with a wide reach and influence, they really shouldn't just present the one side of gambling to the people. Because doing so might just cause trouble to those who follow them and do as they say. Indeed, it is the celebrity's responsibility the moment they get to speak about gambling on their platform. They must showcase the negative and positive side of gambling to make the people aware of what they are getting themselves into.

I understand what he meant, let me try to explain a bit.
He said only loyal fans follow what celebrity do that people that has sense does not follow,it doesn't mean that the fans does not have sense, what it means that the sense of judgement of the fans is beclouded by their loyalty. This means whatever the celebrity does is right and they will tend to replicate them. Take the case of Ronaldo and Manchester United, if Ronaldo punches the coach of Manchester United and kill two players, the diehard fans of  Ronaldo will still defend him.

Common sense, right? Why bother following someone even your idol if you don't have enough knowledge with the game that they are betting, I will follow you with your logic, it's better to continue with the game that you know well and you think that you have a decent chance of winning instead of following someone with their bet from the game that they understand.

Though, it's not a surprise if there's someone who will blindly follow those celebrities, so much idolizing to the point that they
will follow and join the gambling site that the celebrity will use and place their bets.

Although I dont like to follow other's bet including my favorite celebrity but it does not mean that those who are following celebrity has no sense. We cant generate it like that even though the fact says that most loyal fans do follow their favorite celebrities. It is actually fine to follow as long as we also know about what we are going to follow. Following it blindly just because we are fans is stup*d obviously.

I consider celebrity and my betting are different things. Some may follow a celebrity blindly. They may be very talented but a decent gambler will never follow anyone. Since there is a win or loser situation in gambling, the celebrity can also lose. So there is nothing to look down anyone in gambling. It will be better if anyone manage the gambling with his own intelligence.

Yes some may follow influencers or celebrity but I think those people who did this are just new in this industry that is why they will follow all their tips  , i know that they will not give precise solutions and strategy but at some point they can teach their viewers and followers the basics of gambling , and it is up to the gambler what will he do.

till now i bet on gambling never follow anyone's analysis even if it is my favorite artist. because for me the gambling game is the absolute right of the authenticity of the analysis from myself without having to follow the predictions of others.
because in the past i once bet on soccer betting by following my friend's prediction and in the end i lost and at that time i would not trust anyone for gambling predictions. and for me everyone's predictions are different and my own predictions will be better when gambling. because sometimes predictions from other people are misleading and will lose money in gambling.
betting to follow other people's predictions for me is one of stupid things

There's really isn't nothing wrong on following your favorite celebrity's gambling activities as long as they know what they are doing and they have already proven themselves before. However, blindly following them just because they are our idol without knowing if they have any legitimate gambling background, then it's really wrong to do so. It is much better to do some analysis to the people you follow or the gamble you'll be taking before doing anything or acting rashly.

I believe there is nothing wrong in following celebrities' steps if the person enjoys gambling by himself and not just because the celebrity he is fan is gambling on the currently moment. Moreover, this person has to have enough budget to gamble, without compromising his daily expenses, what means a cheap budget isn't enough to cover gambling habits, because it can be a expensive activity if someone is willing to follow his idol's movements betting frequently along the month. Important to notice that although celebrities display a wealthy lifestyle, they didn't achieve it through gambling, so their fans must keep it in mind when daydreaming they are going to earn big and achieve similar life standards by gambling...

I thought as much that how could i be that so influenced in my gambling bets by the celebrity i follow if not a newbie, i can have some of the celebrities as favourite and give them some follow up no issue with that but they can't determine the state of my choice in gambling for me, they play the real games for live and i gamble my money for their performances display and they will not add or deduct from every potential winning or loss i stand to take from my gambling decision, so their role shouldn't come in with my choice in gambling because they are two different dealings.

The first thought that comes to my mind is that it's probably a paid post. Basically an ad. I usually don't make any purchase decisions based on what I see on ads, so gambling wouldn't be different for me.

But I'm sure that many fans would just do the same that their idols do, including gambling.

It's interesting to see ads trying to become more "natural".

No one is influenced by celebrities if it's a problem in gambling because it's not their domain, if it's a problem in betting we ourselves know better, because if we want to make a bet, of course we will bet on the branch we like, I watch football more often I'm sure I'm more interested in placing bets on football matches, because I can predict every game myself, but if it's a matter of style, clothing and acting, we'll definitely be affected by them.

Advertisers are trying to make their ads more natural because people have been exposed to their tricks now for generations, so what worked decades ago probably does not work anymore as people are way more skeptical now.

It is because of this that now ads are inserted directly on the movies or shows we watch, after all if you see a character drink a soda it is obvious this is not by accident, but instead this scene was added by the brand behind the soda to promote their products, it may seem like a harmless and innocent scene but it is nothing more but a disguised ad.

-  If there are celebrities who promote gambling sites here in cryptocurrency or offline gambling, usually almost all of them don't say anything about how much or if they lose gambling, you will hear only good feedback from them, that's because maybe they are paid as an advertiser's tool because they can also be endorsers, it's just that simple that most celebrities do.

So it is right that on the other hand, it is not good that minors see celebrities campaigning for gambling in this industry.
But it is still nice to see if some of the celebrity will become balance unto it. Isn't right?

Winning isn't certain in gambling and that's why it's called a game of prediction.
Most times we come across paid adverts on pages and social media of celebrities, and this adverts are paid heavily for by the company doing the advert, this is because the understand the power and influence of celebrities.
Most times in a country like Nigeria, people just wait and look for someone to point fingers at or push the blames to when something goes wrong and by so doing if they get to see a game been promoted by a celebrity, especially the ones they love, without hesitation they go ahead to invest in it hoping for a good turn up.
So personally I will be influenced by my favorite celebrity especially if betting it wouldn't cost me so much harm.

But it may happen to some people who watch their favorite celebrity gamble that they are lured into following him.
Even if some of them follow, if it is us, we must completely avoid them so that no trouble will happen.
But if it doesn't do us any good other than just watching it for entertainment, it'd be better if we could at least get something useful for us.
And certainly, we can avoid gambling addiction problems because we can control ourselves.

Why? What if Drake just took Barcelona to just mislead people? I can never think of Barcelona to win Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. This only makes me more to be annoyed that celebrities can mislead the people that are their fans. I am not saying Drake intentionally did it, but who knows the truth. To put away any doubt, why following celebrity, only what could influence me about celebrity is what is advertised through them and nothing more, not about the matches I should take while gambling. I hope what happened to the bet Drake played and lost will make some people that follow him to be foolish to themselves that Drake is working with Stake and he is professional in music and not gambling.

Why do you think gambling businesses employ famous people as their brand ambassadors so frequently?? That is because they usually want to make an outreach to their fans and people who see them as role models, in fact, they sometimes don't have intentions toward gambling or may not be a fan of gambling but for the sake of bag, they do accept the deal and indirectly or directly they are promoting gambling and that is what Drake is doing with stake dot come even if I have known him to be a man of sport, for him to be trending on Twitter with stake banner has done the job they want him to do even though he lost the match to Real Madrid, that is the power of being a celebrity.

.

You have a point in your opinion, there are people who can blindly follow celebrity endorsers same with your example people form some places who believes that those people/celebrity may bring them good luck and they will just follow what they are sharing in hope that it will make them win.

There are also gamblers who think that celebrity who share their picks have some good knowledge of the game that they are playing, considering that they are bragging their name into these activities, they are some that may follow and some will criticize their participations

I'm not impressed by anyone when I gamble. Everyone gambles for himself. Yes, it would be ridiculous to follow his advice just because he is a famous person. Many shares are made on social media to advertise. That is why we should not act trusting anyone in serious matters such as gambling. Only if there is something that escapes my eyes, he will help me to see it.

I'm curious as for those who are impressed by a favorite celebrity, who is it and why is it impressive to you?  When it comes to gambling I'll never be impressed or swooned by any celebrities, and I'd like to think this is probably the case for most everything across the board, but I'm guessing if I thought hard enough I could find some sort of product where a celebrity has impressed me enough to give it a try.

Celebrities are sponsored by product companies for a reason, because product endorsements of a notable personality whether it is from notoriety or honor works. Drake right here could be or could not be sponsored by Stake, but by all means it works so well, just the fact that we are talking about it is more than enough proof that it has broken grounds on multiple levels and is already a sentiment to how celebrity endorsements affect the laymen's way of thinking especially with stuff like best site to gamble on. If my idol bets his money there you bet your bottom dollar I'm placing my bets there too.

That's right, I mean it is okay to idolize someone because of their status but as a gambler, we need to separate them from our reality because they aren't the ones who will suffer if we will get some losses along the way because we put our fate on their hands and surely they won't even benefit if we will win the same bet. They are just there trying to make an example from their status, we shouldn't let ourselves be fooled from what they are doing because we do have our won lives.

For famous celebrities, they really are effective product endorsers and that's why they worth a buck for these companies that would hire them just to mention, be partnered and give them the exposure that they need.

And that's why they're doing it and very effective as their fans would follow their bets too and do the same.

Differentiating products to services then there might really be some recognition whether it would be worth for you to deal with or simply skip out.When we do talk about gambling then it would be entirely

not that sensible nor worth on following or idolizing someone on what they are doing.Of course you would really get amazed on how they do bet and how they do won.This is where it do triggers out that kind of

interest or boost up on emotions that you would really be doing gambling too.This is why its really that important that you do really have that self awareness in towards
on whats happening around you.

Just imagine someone that got impressed with this bet slip just because of being a fan of the celebrity and went ahead to place a bet with all their savings following the same games selections as that of Drake, what will be their condition now because with the selected games displayed on the screenshot shared by ops it obvious he lost the bet.

Which is why in betting you don't need to copy anyone because of the predictability of football results so it is best you do your own personal analysis and select your odds the way it will favor you, for me, I could have gone for both teams to score for Barcelona vs Real Madrid and not a straight winning.

That's good because it will only give us a loss. After all, if we lose, we lose our money while the celebrity still has the other money.
They can get money from sponsors to use for gambling and entice people to follow in their footsteps; we don't know the truth.
And maybe if they win or lose, they will still get paid by the sponsor so there is nothing to lose them.
We must be able to keep ourselves from being tempted by things like that and even if we want to gamble, we can gamble right away without having to follow anyone's steps and always control ourselves in gambling.

Be wise in making decisions, like what you mentioned. It's your money that you are staking, win or lose. They don't benefit from your bet, they will just continue doing their business whatever the outcome of their gambling activities. If you understand the game and you know that you know how to assess the games maybe you can compare just to see the basis if they shared some pick, but along the way it is your own decision making that should be followed and not the influenced of anyone.



Another fact here, if we lose following those celebrities, we will be affected by the amount that we let go, while those celebrities, especially those who are affiliated with the casino, will just continue and still got a lot of money to enjoy. Don't let yourself being influenced by anyone but always be on the side where you are enjoying and might have a good chance to win some amount from your gambling activities.

I understand, either way, they are still humans who wanted to gain profits from that bets they made but we should still be careful though because we cannot forget the fact that these famous celebrities or influencers are endorsing the ones who signed their checks, they might pit us or lead us to losses. We should do our own analyzation first so that we can compare that probabilities.

And the number of defeats we experience will also be large, although compared to celebrities, it won't be as many as them.
And we will regret seeing the loss while the celebrities will be fine because they got their paycheck.
It's better we watch them play and enjoy it as an entertaining show and if we want to play gambling, set a limit and never exceed that limit.
Thus, we also get the pleasure of playing gambling like them by not crossing that limit and who knows, we will be luckier than them.

Some fan of the influencers wants to get ride with the same bet their idols because we know how they promote most of the big wins they bet is posted through their page and other platforms so their followers are getting courage to make the same bet as well so they can get a profit but of course not all the time the influencers have a good prediction regarding with the game so better or ideal to do is make your own bet in the game and background research which is the real deal to wage or not.

The major job of an influencer is to promote the brand and  as they test the platform through their bets and if they fine them interesting and profiting they can also copy such influencer bet, but some countries have ban the use of celebrities as gambling influencers as that could aid under age gambling and avoiding addiction to gambling at young age.

But the for general visibility of the company, some celebrities still run promotion but those are strictly in stadiums 🏟️  i have seen quite a few of them.

If we talk about influencers or famous celebrities who are always used as a marketing tool from the company's strategy.
it's very common and there's nothing wrong with that, thanks to working with a famous person or artist, every company gets the benefits they deserve, so does the artist.

considering the marketing strategy of using the services of artists is so common, so are gambling companies. inseparable from using the services of artists as their marketing tool to be widely accepted by various levels of society.
in this case, either he is doing a job posting it as an endorser influencer, or he is purely gambling. but for sure, he lost the bet.

IMO, without him being an influencer for one of the companies.anything related to it, will always attract the sympathy of its fans.  unfortunately, in this case. looks like he's purely gambling, because if he's an endorser.
at least he would display a banner with victory after victory.

In other words, they are all a human being just like us, their social status in life doesn't mean that they will get the right path most of the times because they are also vulnerable as they are just a humans. If I were going to follow somebody, that would be the secret millionaires who worked hard to get what they have but that is a challenge because most of these millionaires aren't making such noises in any social platform as for them it'll be just a waste of time. As far as bets are concerned, I prefer to work on my own analysis and gather the data on my own.

Exactly mate once a site want to be famous as well then they hired some famous celebrities to introduce their sites or projects. But all of these are not good because we all know that celebrities will advertising project is the owner will pay them even though that what they are promoting is a scam projects because what other celebrities see is that the money they earn and not Thinking if their sites that promoted are legit or not.

It really happens that fans are just straight up copying the influencer bet straight up. At that point, Casino and the influencer automatically win because someone were caught in their marketing strategy and achieve their own goal which is get someone to play. I also think that influencers are trying to do their best to make their betting choice win given that it might tarnish their reputation because of just showing their bet choice in the public. I believe that whenever you bet or gamble, It is your own responsibility on how you do it. Blaming someone because they share their insights or bets is just wrong for me. I don't see any wrong thing on sharing bets predictions and copying it. I personally copy some bets before and some of it came from social media influencers I followed.

Even if he is famous, he may prefer to make money the easy way. First of all, no one can blame them for this. We are all free in our choices. Even if he is a celebrity that I love very much, I don't think he can influence me in this way. If there is someone to follow, these are people who have truly proven their success. Being famous nowadays is simple. A person who takes a camera in his hand can become famous and have many fans. Here, all responsibility belongs to the fan. He needs to know that no one will be perfect. As a result, I am not influenced by a celebrity I love, I just like what he does.

I generally agree with your comment. It is necessary not to follow them when they go out of their area of ​​expertise, because this is also a very common logic error (appeal to authority). Nikola Tesla's speech in favor of the existence of god cannot be a proof of the existence of god. We should take such advice into consideration as much as we take into account the famous rappers who say the world is flat. :) I think such posts are shared to advertise the platform more than match predictions. I don't think it's the right marketing method, but that's how things are done nowadays.

More precisely, do it according to what we are good at, it doesn't mean we don't want to learn, on the contrary, we have to learn first if we want to follow someone who is said to be a celebrity, influencer or whatever it's called. If we follow it just because we see big wins when they gamble then it is a wrong move in my opinion. We can be free to do anything but it must be remembered that we must be able to master it first. Now many offer demo accounts for us to learn, so get to know first before trying it.

does their fame make us have to obey and believe with every word that comes out of their mouth, the answer is no

each of us have idols that even make us feel crazy about them but if they suggest to follow their every word especially when we want to bet or place the lottery then they are exploiting our minds

Gambling is simply a game made for fun, but it is quite possible that its main purpose has been abused due to the greed of the players to win. In my opinion there is no need for anyone to have to influence the choice in making a bet, it is completely meaningless because they are actually betting for themselves. I don't have favorites that can influence my choices, my choices because I and their choices are for them even though on paper the same.

What about sports betting, do gamblers need to learn with a demo account?

a wrong move because most of the time they are just enticing their viewers and once you follow them you are going to lose your money, learn to do things according to your own knowledge, let those celebs to play on their own and you as well play with what you know and understand, the chance of winning is way better if you are just playing the type of game you fully understand.

You can use your knowledge while playing the game, giving you a good chance to win on your own instead of waiting for some luck
when your favorite celebs shared their picks.

Sometimes, talking about things out of their area of expertise is just because of money, but in other cases they are so famous that, in the end, they end up believing that they are superior in all fields. When everyone around you flatters you, I think that this can happen.

In both cases, it is not reasonable to believe them. But the human brain likes to associate ideas, and when someone we like promotes another product (something or someone), we get blind and think that it is also appealing. Most effective techniques are the most simple.

I didn't even know there was a demo account in the sportsbook.
Here is a different story because in Sportbook we are required to analyze and see from various perspectives. We can see in terms of bets that are there, such as when betting in football, of course we have to know the clubs that will compete starting from their strengths and weaknesses as well as their statistics in the previous match.
You don't need a demo account to make this happen.

I would say that some of personalities such as celebrity, vlogger and etc. promoting some gambling site and it is really effective to persuade their fans or supporter to play online gambling. Personally, If I am a fan of celebrity who loves gambling, I will bet on gambling sites that same with the celebrity platform used to experience what he/she experienced.
