Early hours of today,  one of the Nigeria billionaire business man E money shared his bet slip online for fans to see how much he splashed on the game between Chelsea vs Asernal which already on and Cheslea leading with 1:0, this brought me to the point of asking what your opinion on celebrities staking higher amount and still be ok to publicly show it and do not feel any thing even if the ticket cut just like what happened to Drake last few weeks back.

What is you view and analysis on this bet,  although I see that he be confident in his selections to have staked such an amount,  but since football is a game of unpredictability,  what then ks your views on this game even though the match is currently live.

I do not have anything against any celebrity or famous person gambling. A lot of them do it. However my stance on this is that when they show their bet slip to the public because of how much influence they have, the young ones who look up to them will most likely start betting. What these Young ones don't know is that these celebrities have more money than them so they can afford to lose that money and still be fine but these poor young ones who would  jump into betting because of a celebrity, do not have money to lose. And when they lose the game, we would hear stories of them crying and doing all sorts of irritable things on the internet because of their loss.

What's the big deal? You think because he is someone that he will influence others to bet? Isn't that what todays society is all about? There are influencers for everything. Hot tub girls, celebrities playing slots, video games, poker, and darn near everything else in the world.

Basically if a guy has the money, no matter who they are, they should be allowed to make a bet if they want.

When you see a rich person gambling, it is because they can afford to loose the money they are using to invest and still be okay. They play these games for fun, not because they really expect to win. The Nigerian socialite that we are discussing now is a billionaire, and since he is not even betting up to 5% of his net worth, it is no big deal and a risk he can afford to take. Bet according to what you can afford, do not be pressured to using all you have to gamble because you see what a rich man has used in gambling.

They can afford betting on a higher stake given that they are rich and probably won't hurt them even if they lost the bet. There might be another reason like doing promotions on the casino that they are playing and it might be a sponsored bet by the casino, we won't really know. There are many high rollers out there but some of them just don't really show it off publicly. They can go on a higher level so I don't see any problem with that. I understand that influential people are sharing it on public because maybe they want to include it on their figure just like how drake are doing it.

Gambling is for everyone both influencers and the influenced,  although the difference is in the aspect of why should a popular figure be displaying his bet slip on social media despite knowing how risky it is to stake such an amount and what his fan's reactions will be if he lost such games with an amount that can change any reasonable person life.

I know is his money anyway and he can afford multiple of that amount without stress,  but what really is his motivation behind all this,  is it the expected winning rewards,  or was he staked based on his love for the club's playing or just a way to promote the brand?

I don't know if he is an ambassador to the casino he posted but then wish him luck in the bet.

It seems a loosing bet.
But I think this has been posted probably like some form of hidden advertising, or a banal attempt to promote oneself activity on social media.
I always find publishing these bet slips to be a bad idea, especially from the point of view of... superstition ::)

It seems a losing bet as Chelsea is leading 2-0 against Arsenal so far and Arsenal seems not that powerful to change this around so far although there is still half an hour to be played.Chelsea is on a really good run and it looks like Pochettino is working his magic so far having put a team that is winning three consecutive games in the Premier League after doing very bad since he took over,it looks now though that things are changing and finally the team has found the harmony needed to start winning.

For this billionaire though I don't know his total fortune but since he plays that much on a single game he should have much more.

Chelsea leading with 1:0 seems like a very obvious choice especially when you do it live. He is seeing to make 11M which is a huge profit. I'm not a fan of this sport but I can see why he bet on Chelsea.

Matches like this sometimes end up with just 1:0 and this team is already ahead of its game. Very reasonable to pick and bet 5M as well. Normally the odds will also drop down to 1.40 when one team scores.

I am not sure about this billionaire but in general, all their actions will be based on their rewards so I assume that is the case then he is just promoting the casino which we can see at the bottom of that screenshot itself. I may be wrong but that's my perspective for this kind of action.

Pure marketing purposes. They surely partner to the casino they place bet since there’s no sense for an influencer to post such betslip without getting anything from it. I don’t consider a bet like this that put with a real analysis since they will not resort on being influencer if they are really into sports betting.

This huge bets is probably nit real or part of the deal with the casino since the casino brand is available on the betslip they are sharing which is weird since it shouldn’t be available if they will share the betslip itself.

For me, I don't really give a flying fuck about how much these people wager, it's not their money against mine after all. So there's no reason for me to go foam at the mouth and be ballistic against their bets even though they are always counting by the millions, but I digress. I don't think it's going to work as a marketing tactic either, "LOL someone's betting 2 million dollars on this team let's go bet on that team as well for the kicks", is that what you're trying to convey? Cause if that's so then I'd like to point out how preposterous the logic behind that statement is, and why it wouldn't work as a viable marketing tactic. In my opinion these people are just posting these to flex on everyone, doesn't have to be a statement or anything.

Sorry to say but this amount looks so huge to you probably because you don't have such yet, i tell you that when you become a billionaire like them, 5 million Nigerian naira will be to you like 500 Nigerian naira, so personally to me, I don't see anything special here aside them either trying to entertain their followers, or marketing the casino where the bet was placed.

For E-Money, I personally do not think he is trying to market bet9ja, since I've never heard he has any ambassadorial deal with the company, so this is probably nothing more than him entertaining his followers, i could as well place a bet of 500 Nigerian naira and share the bet slip online to my fallowers to entertain them, it's exactly the same thing.

This was actually pretty close since it was 2:2 at the end, so Arsenal managed to score twice more before the end of that match. It was a very good match.

I can see he bet 5 million, but what currency. If it was Naira, it wasn't a big deal. Betting 5 million bucks would be something, but 5 million Naira? For most oligarchs it's pocket change. They pay that much for a private flight to a WEF conference :D

I wouldn't react to someone else betting big money like that and I hope you didn't do it because by doing it you saved some money to play another day.

I see this as a pure marketing strategy to attract more gamblers to the gambling house where he placed the bet. Drake is an ambassador of Stake, maybe this Nigerian rich socialite might be connected to bet9ja. I am not in support of this kind of advertisement because it can fuel over-gambling. There is no need to encourage people to bet higher than what they can afford by showcasing a celebrity's high bet.

It is not every deal that is made public. Business owners can do anything to make more profit. He might not be an ambassador, but he might have invested in the gambling firm. Maybe soon we might know his connection with bet9ja.

Rich or poor, it doesn't matter. What matters is how you choose to play. You should only bet what you can afford to lose. If I had $100, I would max bet $50. Not a single penny more than $50. If I had $1,000, I would probably bet some hundreds of dollars. That's how it works.
Another thing is that I don't believe anything that influencers says or shows. They would do anything for money. Like promoting your business. You are seeing what they want you to see, not what it actually is. Influencers and celebrities can easily manipulate you to do anything.

Yeah, its 5 million Nigerian naira you are looking at, if converted to dollars using today's exchange rate, that is around $4000 plus dollars.
I don't have this much yet, but i consider the amount too small for this particular elite man to lose in a bet, he is a billionaire, one of the richest men in Nigeria, 5 million naira is not up to the amount of money people of his caliber spend on food and drinks in a five-star hotel. So personally, this amount of money is not huge enough to cause him any form of regret if the bet loses, which i even suspect the best lost after all.
There are many gamblers from this forum who bet more $4000 dollars in one game, game they are confident they could win.

I have been saying that there is a big difference between the rich and the poor when they put money into gambling, for example in the case of this guy that OP mentioned, I don't know how much money he put in US dollars and I don't know what the value is of his fortune and what are the daily profits of his business, but if we assume that the guy is rich then he can afford to put a lot of money into the game because even if he loses today, as in this case he lost because the game ended in a draw, in a while he will get that money back

But see, it's not as if the guy needs to keep playing to get that money back, the profits from his business allow him to get back the money he lost at the casino. and with that his fortune continues to increase even though he continues to play with a lot of money. This is the difference between rich people when they play, which is why the phrase: only play with money that you can afford to lose. It is a phrase that will always be mandatory to follow. I've seen many rich people putting a lot of money into gambling and they don't get upset by the defeat, on the contrary, after losing, they go to bars to spend it on women and drinks and their lives continue without problems.

Most of these top society guys do these things to bring their social media hype on, just imagine we are discussing him here and that is how they are going to be discussed in other platforms in Nigeria and other countries and that is the purpose because they need to always stay there in the face of the public, that is how they keep getting more popular and popularity means more social circle, contacts, businesses and more wealth but if they stay out of the public they go broke.

So placing a 5m naira bet from him isn't money he would regret and I don't think he is running an advert for the betting company because it would have been in the media that he is affiliated to the company just like it is not a secret with drake and stake.

I havent seen on that "N" symbol or Naira on those numbers above shown in the image or did i just missed something? If it would really be just that Naira then it wont really be that much of a big amount which it cant really go toe with toe with those bets been done by specially by known gambler such us Drake which splurges out hundred thousands of dollars on a single bet. Even if you are a billionaire which it doesnt mean
that you would really be spending millions of dollars on your gambling bets on which it would really be just that depending if you are really that a gambler or not or simply that could spend up a small amount which he can afford to lose or simply just that enough for him to lose. $4k might really be that small for some people specially on to those billionaires or millionaires who are capable on doing such thing.

I dont know if this would really be just that right on using up that all-in word considering that it is really just that a dust amount unless if this would really be million dollars then it would really be that
a different story but if its not then it would really be that just a small amount if ever this bet would losses but if it do win then the amount would neither be significant or not
basing up whether this one talks about million dollar bet or naira been used but well its their money. Doesnt matter if your a billionaire or not.

To answer you that amount he staked is equivalent to $4k+ which on thos part of the world is a big amount of money although that guy is one of the top men in this country, and he can afford to risk that amount without any disruption to his financial well being,  even as he lost the bet already which bring us to the point that,  we shouldn't be so confident in a team to the point of risking so much that the world will not look at us as waster even though he made that money within seconds bit then losing is losing any ways and no one enjoy it regardless of how much they earn regularly.

E-money have hard his own piece of the pieces just as Drake his e last few weeks back.

If the gambler ready to stake the big amount of the dollars,he is ready to face two things.Either the big win because of the risky try and second one was the entire amount of the loss.This thread was created because he had made the history by the big win,what is your words if he lose the entire money.The loss story of the gambler was moved to the 1/11 of the games.So the gambler should ready to risk in the gambling which help the gambler to become the rich person.This also increase your class in the society,the sports bet was good one for the stocking of big money like this person staking.I had come to know many people in the Nigeria was getting good win in the sports bet mainly on the football by this thread.

For me it's fine, I don't see nothing wrong with showing your bet in public. He has every right to do so, he has money. And we are in a different era now, everyone is on social media and flaunting everything they can, including rich personalities and then gambling activity. I think Floyd Mayweather has done this is the past, and he is a self made billionaire.

But for us ordinary gamblers, at least for me, I wouldn't do that. I do not what to attract attentions, specially if you win big because you know that people are going to come after you, we all know what I mean. There are people in this world who are free loaders, even your so called friends. So it's better to be quite at times specially gambling. But for this rich, it doesn't matter, for them the better they flaunt, people are going to be at awe at how much money they got.

Op first of all reduce your image. At least you can use this number . The bettor is showcasing his wealth to the world and not because of the bet. There was no need for him to show his private bet in the social media. There are some times rich people like to do show of wealth. Though everyone has their way of doing things.

And from the dollar rate to the Fiat currency that amount the guy used in the game is equivalent to $5k and the cashout price $4+k so if he cashout then lost will not big as the whole money. And from the I looked at it, the guy odd is 1x2 and if that is the bet then he has loss all.

This is just like a normal bet for him and for sure he will not place such bet if he will not be happy with the result. As long as he is capable of doing this, then I don’t see any problem with it even if the game is already live. There are reasons for betting on a live game, probably he feels more excite from this, and seriously we can’t tell the exact reasons for this, he’s rich and we cannot tell them when to bet since they have the freedom for betting regardless of its amount.

Honestly that's like someone who isn't all that Rick betting $100 on a game.  It's all relative.  And for rich people they can afford to have these losses and move on like nothing happened.  It just seems like a lot to the average person because that is life changing money.  But to a billionaire they will make that money back on interest in one of theor investments in a week. 

Well, it's his bet and I think betting during live was much more effective considering you have already an idea about who plays and the tempo of the game. I think this public figure should be selective on what they post online considering it will be seen especially by underage individuals and they'll think it's just okay to bet.

This is how Billionaires think and they didn’t bother to place bet even if they think the team will actually lose the game, they are ready for the risk and they can afford it. Elite people always have the sources to fund this kind of addiction or hobby, as long as they remain responsible and know how to have a good source of income, I don’t think they will be bothered by this losses.

that is true, this is why they have no qualms sharing their bet slips in the public. even if it is too much for ordinary people. however, they need to watch out their tax persons because they are also on the look out for proofs esp if they are not diligently paying their taxes to their govt.
just like drake, it seems like they are only playing with few bucks. as you said, it is just all relative. for them, they are indeed just playing few bucks and they are happy with it. whereas, for most ordinary bettors, that's already their retirement savings or money that they can earn in their lifetime

This is nothing new, as other top public figures are out there too, throwing in a huge amount of money into gambling. Some of these celebrities stake a huge amount of money into gambling, and I really don't think it's just for fun but for the sake of also making a huge win. OP, you did not mention which team the celebrity gambler bet on, so we can know if he lost his bet or not. I know if he wins that bet, it's really going to be a big amount of cash out for him, which was really the intention of the bet, but if he loses the match, then it's nothing compared to the amount he has lost in other bets.

Most of those guys (the big celebrities) have a huge amount of money to their name, and even the ones they lose in gambling do not have any effect on them financially or otherwise.

Agree on this one on which there are really people who are really that boastful or really likes on trying to show off and there's no indeed wrong on this one because its his money that he had bet on and its none of our business on how much he would really be that be betting on. Its true that showing big or huge numbers could really be imposing some potential risks on which people would really be that
in concern and this is why whenever they do see this kind of publicity then they would really be having worries but there are people who dont really care about safety.
If ever those criminals do know someone whose rich then what they would gonna do? As if its an easy thing to abduct those people or tending to scam or whatsoever bad plans that you are
planning on which we know that it isnt really that something that could do if ever you do have bad plans.

Just let them be on what are the things that they do really want to do since its their money then they do have the full rights on boasting up on how much you had bet on.
They are billionaires or damn rich people and we know that the money you do have then you do have the feel that you could do everything.

I am what I see in that gambler; if he feels confident about placing a large wager, it is because he believes, as a gambler, that he too wants to place a large wager. And if he places a hefty wager, that is entirely up to him; after all, he is wealthy enough to do so aside from being a celebrity.

So, if that's what he did, I don't see a problem because he was merely acting as a gambler on a casino platform. Whatever decision he makes, if he wins, there is nothing we can do.

Weirdly it looks like Drake a little bit, so I guess he's also not using his own money but "fun"(fake) money given by the sportsbook (Bet9ja) he is promoting and he will be paid something even if his betslip is losing at the end. Betting large sums could also be part of his image and branding, it could serve as a way to keep his followers entertained, so it would be a good win-win strategy for him and for the sportsbook finally.

most of these games that we see the rich playing with and earning good money from it. It is all about taking risk and if we don't we might not be able to make any good profits.  If we can be more confident about the our bets, this will make us to have a better winnings since we are not too scared of losing. There are many bets I have gambled on without any atom of fear and had given me a good profits while those games I thought would give me a good profits never see the lime light. Whether we are a skilled gambler or not, we need to be confident our any bets we want to gamble on.

I remember there was betja before in the forum but it was gone long time ago.
So yes, I don't know the legitimacy of the bookie that he used here. So be very careful in falling to this trap.
If in case, some bettors here wanted to try on this site. We don't know the reputation of this site as it is not even present in the forum.
Though he is using large sum of money and he has the money, I am still doubtful about the reputation of the site.
If he wins, happy for him but bettors should not follow his footsteps, needs to do their own due diligence.

This is actually Normal for celebrities who often want to flaunt their wealth and money to the general public, drake does it, Neymar does and even so many celebrities do this, sometimes it's just them actually wanting to enjoy a spending spree of their money and nothing else. These type of people are not affected by any lose that they may inquire from their bet slip and they are free from addiction and that's why it's okay for them in their gambling habits, if a normal average gambler loses this kind of money then it would be a major issue for him but not same with the exclusive celebs.

Well I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with his decision to spend such an amount on a game that he do later lose the bet,  but funny how this rich guys spend money any ways staking such an amount of money on a bet,  while we have tins of homeless kids around his neighbourhood that that amount of money could have provided shelter for in the next 3 years and even pay they school fees,  5 million naira is such a bug amount of money that most if his fan will lash him for taking such action even though it his money and he have the right to spend it the way he likes.

But he should not forget that Nigerians are in a stake of economic crisis that many fine it difficult to even feed,  so flaunting such a bet in the public,  will only increase his risk,  because as a socialite,  millions of people will always have access to information about him and how he wasted such huge amount in gambling

Regardless of the result of the match, and which team he chooses. there is nothing wrong with what he does, as long as it doesn't harm anyone, even his family. whatever money he spends in betting, is his own responsibility. btw, I don't know the guy in the screenshot you shared. Whatever their status, be they a billionaire businessman, influencer, or even an artist, they have the same rights as those of us who often display screenshots of our bets or winnings from football betting on our respective social media.

Here, I only see it from my personal perspective, if this man really likes or is a favorite of one of the teams that is competing. therefore, he shared screenshots of his bets on his social media. Moreover, this man rarely posts his bets on his social media. Thus, I can temporarily conclude that one of these two teams is his favorite team.
At this point, I didn't try to check social media for the screenshots you shared. so, I'm just assuming according to what is available from this thread. Well, so this man is free to do something he likes, in fact I'm sure he is fully aware of what he is doing. and importantly, he didn't break the law. it's just, the money he bet, something very big for us. but it's natural, because this man is a billionaire businessman as you said in your thread. As for the match results, this match ended in a 2-2 draw. regarding predictions, analysis and reviews, we will share them in the appropriate threads.

That is the keyword already, he is a billionaire, so obviously, he just want to let everyone know how much he gamble, but big the bet is and in the end, doesn't matter to him if he wins or lose. What's important as I look at it, is to get across that he has tons of money, in short he wants attention. So this is on contrary on some billionaires, who works very hard and don't gamble at all.

We can't blame them though, I don't know his real story, but it could be a rag to riches, success story of this Nigerian socialite.

And I don't know if his bet won or not, for us gamblers though, there's nothing to envy about it. Again, he wants to flaunt but for casual gamblers, we will not to that even if we have a lot of money.

When a person becomes a person many people and children will look up to I think that's when their responsibility starts to not promote anything that could harm them. Gambling is one of those. I am not against them betting on online gambling sites even if they waste millions of their assets but posting it on social media seems unnecessary for me. We know they have loads of money in their accounts but they don't have to rub it in. That's because there might be kids who will mimic what they do and we all know that many gambling sites don't really have an age restriction as long as you just have an email account then you could start betting.

About the game. I don't much about it but I am sure that this guy has a lot of people near him that recommend a higher chance to win the bet so it's not like he is betting blindly. Did he win?

I mean, his money, don't really give a damn about it, even more so if it wasn't a game I'm betting for in the first place. Personally, though I don't think I'd appreciate someone judging my bet, I mean it's my own, but then again I'm also not one to post it online to brag or something idrk. Not that it's not allowed or anything, just that the act of posting it itself means he's pretty much fine with being judged over all by the people of the internet.

Plus, seeing as the bet amounts to $4k~ from other posts, I don't think it's a dent to his riches. Sure, it's big for your average person, but eh, he ain't average so can't really use that to judge him.

It's not a big deal at all. You've got the freedom to flaunt your betting slip to the world, and if that brings someone joy, we shouldn't be poking holes in their reasons. After all, he's a billionaire, for goodness' sake, so he can definitely show off his massive gambling tickets.

By the way, that 4.25 million, is that in USD or in Nigerian currency? Because if it's on Nigerian Currency, thats only around $5,558, no a huge bet IMO compared to Drake's bet and other sharks in sports betting.

Congratulations to E money for this huge amount of cash out he got from the game between Chelsea vs Arsenal that ended up draw 2:2 and many people lost their ticket in that particular game while some are here to celebrate what they got from the game which are part of the gambling.  I guess, this win will motivate other Rich men and women in the society to take a good step to gamble to know how good it is to gamblers to use small amount of money to win big money, and to know the bad side of gambling when you continue losing through out your games.


 When he was losing in his bet he didn't display the negative side of the bet on the social media for other to learn but know he won and he want to influence others celebrities to join sports bet that doesn't have any respecters for anybody, and it can cause you joy sometimes and it can also cause you pain sometimes, so you have to apply wisdom.

Naira money. He bet 5M and to win 11M if Chealsea wins. He really put his bet at the right time while the team just scored.

He is a millionaire and has the right to do whatever he desires with his money to influence people arou d him its his business. Politicians do it all the time.

That's roughly around $6,500, and considering the gambling is happening in Nigeria, that's a significant sum of money. It's bound to turn some heads, especially among his peers, seeing someone bet that kind of cash. But as the saying goes, 'mind your own business.' This bettor's a billionaire, and he probably knows what he's doing. As long as that money isn't ill-gotten or hurting anyone, it could serve as an inspiration. Maybe one day, we can also throw down those big bets when we're in a situation where money's no longer a problem.

For him to have used about $5,000 to place a bet it means he has a lot more to his name than you can ever imagine and that can be roughly about 1% of his worth which further means he made his bet with amount he is ready to lose or let go. We all know E-money he may not be as rich as Drake but he's bastardly rich and known for living a luxurious life despite being a business man.

It's his decision to make his predictions as he so wish and I don't think his amount bet would in any form influence the bet of other gamblers, celebrities love to show up and it's becoming a trend that they're now bringing that lifestyle to the gambling space. And some of them might be the bet companies ambassadors apparently showing off their bet with the intentions to publicize the bet company they represent cause at the backend they are going to get back that money while average gamblers like us just wallow in the tactics of their publicity.

The match ended in 2 - 2 draw and does this mean he lost the amount of money he bet?
There is no more detailed discussion about whether the bet was lost in its entirety or whether cashout was made before the match finished to anticipate losses.

Yes, he is indeed rich man with very large amounts of money so it is natural for him to make several large bets.
But even though he is rich businessman when he loses large amount of money just for betting it will also give him feeling of regret and disappointment for the team he has bet on.

After all what he was betting on was that money football matches had unexpected surprises and this was the surprise from the match. ;D

Already, a well-known celebrity called Drake has made it known to others that, even these days, celebrities stake more than any other gambler in the gambling world. It's a pity to say that the match was lost because. Well, what I saw in the picture above, shows that he bet on the Arsenal team to win, but finally, finally, the team drawed the match. Well, I think that 5 million naira is a small amount of money for him because the guy is a money bastard, he has the money and has enough of it. The aspect of celebrities showing their stake to the whole world to see is something some people can not do. Well, it is just another way to advertise the gambling industry he is betting on. It might be that he is the ambassador of the gambling company. That's why he has to bring it to social media for others to see.

Rich people can do whatever they want with their money. They can waste it on gambling if they want to.
I don't usually approve such behavior, because all these money can be used for something good, instead of being spent on sports betting.
This guy is a billionaire, which means that he didn't "went all in". He would've went all in, if he staked all this billion dollar fortune on one bet.
That would be really interesting. ;D Losing several million naira isn't such a big deal for him.
There's something wrong with the modern society. Nowadays, the people mostly care about what the rich and famous do. I don't care about this BS.

It's not hidden if everyone on the Internet can see it, of course it's to advertise him and to gain him Internet clout, why else would someone post this then? Pretty sure there's nothing virtuous about him posting this on social media. Maybe for you it is but sometimes some people want the justification of their decision to be sympathized by many people so it can ease the anxiety behind it or in the case of emoney, you just have to flex how much money you can afford to lose.

I don't mind if I see a celebrity or businessman showing his contribution to a match. I also won't be triggered to follow what he does because I will first look at the match and whether I have the knowledge to choose the same team as him. Otherwise, I wouldn't place any bets and just pass it by. It's up to them to place big bets and show it to the public. We are not affected by what they do, especially since we need to know what the purpose of doing it is.

If you don't easily follow them and watch, you will be safe because you don't have to risk any money. And this also depends on each person so if they see their celebrity placing a bet, they might follow suit.

I don't have problem with celebrities staking good amount of money on their bet slip as that's why they can comfortably loose without been hurt, some times it could possibly be that the betting site have endorsed them so using that site to make such huge prediction would attract more gamblers to the site, drake is an ambassador for stake.com, which has attracted his fans to follow suit too.

These celebrities are the people who actually gamble for entertainment because they stake what they can afford to loose and they don't get emotional when they loose such they only move on because they weren't play to get rich as they are rich already they only play to get entertained and if it turns out a win, they get even richer, so it's important we learn how these celebrities gamble and do same at our level so we don't end up in tears if it turns out against us.

I also don't mind if a billionaire or celebrity shows their betting slip on social media or anywhere else, and that is their right because rich people are free to do whatever they want and their money should not be overstated. Because there are also those whose goal is a strategy or goal to become more famous, and people who don't know about it will definitely find out about it and become more famous, and whatever the reason, I don't care.
And maybe someone who is famous and has a lot of fans will influence them to take that bet, but it's not a good choice for them. Because, they still have to do research before participating because if rich people bet then they will also lose and, and whether the rich person will return their losses. Of course not, so bet according to the results of research and belief without any reason and must bet with common sense and intelligence.

I don't think anything is bad about staking a large amount if you have more than the amount you are trying to stake, and if you lose it, it's not going to affect you in any way. The businessman is a billionaire, and using that amount to stake a bet is just a little amount to him, it might be a big amount to you because you are not a billionaire yet, they have enough money, the amount that the billionaire stake might not even have any impact on him even if he loses the bet, and there is nothing bad in them posting it online because they didn't ask anyone to follow their bet, they have the right to post anything they want on social media.

Haven't you look he posted the casino brand? that's where the $5,000,000 come from.

A real bettor is less likely want to publishing the casino he bet because there's no point for doing that and they might want to be more secret since high roller who often win will get limit from the casino, if all casinos limit him, he can't gamble big amount of money anymore.

Yes, that is their right especially if they are a billionaire who has more money than other people so they can place bets with big money. We can also just miss it because we don't know the match but if we know the match and have the same opinion as the billionaire, we can also place a bet with what he placed. Maybe we can win together with that celebrity.

But it's best before we place a bet on what the celebrity chooses, we can analyze the bet and determine which one has a chance of winning. And if we don't choose more information about the match, we don't need to force ourselves to place the same bet as him. We won't know anything about the match, so we must know what to do.

This is to show off and to prove to people around them that they can afford to throw money, you know when you have a lot of money your personality and character are enhanced, by betting a lot of money they want to show to their circle that they above them, so they compete against each other, for us average wage earner this is too much money for a bet, but for these people, it's their way of competing with each other, the highest bettor will be lookup within their circles.
It's the rich and famous thing that for us it's hard to understand.

He's a billionaire, so I'm pretty sure that ticket he shared hasn't been edited, LOL.

Honestly, I don't see why this news is such a big deal. Any billionaire could throw around huge sums of money on bets, and we shouldn't be too shocked by that. They're on a whole different level from us regular people. Maybe one day, if we become billionaires, we'll do the same and consider ourselves celebrities in the gambling world.

I'm curious if this guy who won his bet would also share a losing bet. I mean, Drake lost a hefty chunk of change when he bet on Paul to KO his opponent, and the whole world knew about it. So what's the deal here?

A socialite in Nigeria that's why he joined all the bets on this game also maybe he has a lot of money and he's a billionaire that's why he added all the bets. If there is a risk of losing then there will be no effect on it for any trader doing the same business for years can lead to boredom but in a casino environment he can get a taste of the novelty of different games every day so they indulge in big bets. The casino atmosphere can be an escape from all the worries of the world for some. Sometimes it is seen that winning continuously becomes the personality of some. But it is not possible for ordinary people because of successful usage it is not possible for an ordinary gambler to win continuously.

This is the best comment I have read here.
These guys more for "ego" based reasons rather than for hustle like regular gamblers do. They want to be able to brag to their friends how much they bet on a match, how much they won or how much they lost. In fact, if they lose that money the better for them as they may see themselves on the same level with Drake. Both of them are musical artists.
I predict that we are going to see more of these celebrities share with the internet their bet slips and how much they staked. It's going to be a trend very soon.

Please I am not judging them. It is their money and they can do with it as they please.

We all have different opinions on games and he have clearly showed us his own view of the game but what I don’t understand is why he would take such risk and stake on Arsenal to win despite watching how terrible Arsenal was in the first half, their entire midfield bullied and overshadowed by South American combo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo who also got help from Conor Gallagher. Chelsea’s midfield was rock solid throughout the game which was why it was difficult for Arsenal to penetrate them and their most creative midfielder Odegaard was lost throughout the game. Merely seeing Arsenal’s performance in the first should have made him know he was making a wrong decision and winning Chelsea at stamford bridge will be a difficult task.

In my opinion Arsenal was even lucky to have draw the game and had it been Chelsea converted their chances it would’ve been a different story.

I think wealthy people usually have the notion that bigger risks brings bigger rewards if successful so they often go for endeavors with bigger risks. I think this is very similar to how Drake picks his games at stake. I believe that even though they lose several bet slips, one win can cover many of their losses. Risks is an appetizer for them afaik.

He is a billionaire and have several businesses. Loosing N5,000,000 is an easy thing for him. The only problem is rust a lot of his followers on social media will follow him to stake the game even outrageous amounts.

But for them betting a million is like me betting $100. Confidence aside it's the same thing in terms of what it impacts in theor life.  Losing $100 won't do much in terms of detrimental my lifestyle.  Same for them losing that million doesn't really impact their life.  So it's not about taking chances it's about willing to lose something that doesn't really impact your life win or lose.

I think is high time all these big guys stop putting the shit over our f faces because they are not the only ones leaving the life, why should we care anyways when we are not his direct clique,  many of us do this thing all the time at our various category and level and we don't talk about it that much and that is cool with us all, but in as much as the saying goes you have to be smart enough to handle your risk, and I am sure the so-called billionaire can weight his risks also, because in a country where the is a high rate of poverty, it becomes risky to display such flamboyant spending, Chelsea is a club to bet on but then one way or the other is becoming clear to us that in gambling, you can never have a sure bet.

All I would say about this is that gambling is all about affordability. It doesn't matter who you are and where you come from, as long as you have the money and the desire to gamble, you can do it without any regrets or anything since the money you are spending on it is what you can afford to lose and you won't have any issues in your personal life even if you lose that bet. So, these celebrities making high bets and losing them aren't really getting into much trouble because they can afford to do that.

This can be a problem for someone who can't afford to lose a lot of money but they have still made a bet with a very large amount which if they lose, they will get in trouble in their personal life which isn't good. So, when someone wants to gamble, they should know that they can lose, and they should only do it if they can afford to do it, and their bet sizes should be based on the capacity of their available bankroll.

I do not see this as anything new. There are lots of celebrities out there who gamble and decide to keep it a secret. #5,000,000 is just a change to him, and possibly he is just doing it for fun to entertain his followers or to raise a topic of discussion via his social media handle, just as a poster has said earlier. Although I have never heard or seen anywhere that he was made a brand ambassador, he is already a billionaire, and this he has done can influence his millions of followers, precisely those into gambling, to go bet with Bet9ja. I would say this is an indirect promotion for Bet9a. You know, sometimes celebrities and influencers have a way of calling attention to themselves, attracting a brand to partner with them. If what the celebrity did has a side effect on their brand, be it a positive or negative effect, they would go into having a deal with the celebrity as they have a large number of followers to benefit from. This is just the way celebrities shoot their shots.

That's why it's always advise to gamble responsibly, it's very irresponsible to make heavy stakes that will become a problem to you if you eventually loose the game, because a socialite who is very well to do made a heavy stake on a particular game doesn't mean his or her stake can influence the possible outcome of such game, it only their own prediction, you as an experience gambler should be able to make your own pick regardless.

It's very important we are wise enough to get all this things right, like you rightly stated, he is a billionaire and wouldn't feel hurt in any for loosing 5milion naira, it cam be compared to some who has as much as $1million and looses $10 he wouldn't even have a second taught about it rather he will laugh over it and get entertainment from it, but for you who has just $100 and staking $60 because you see a socialite made a heavy stake, will be such a very foolish decision because you are staking 60% of your wallet while he is staking probably 0.05% of his wallet, see the difference, stake responsibly.

I thinks it’s pretty obnoxious when big time celebrities, athletes, rich billionaires, socialites etc brag about how much money they are throwing down on some of these bets. Especially someone living in an extremely impoverished nation where their money could have gone to much better causes. I am not a fan of this stuff

There is a sense in this but it is not likely to be that he had a contract of such with them because the media would have been agog with the news. He probably didn't see any reason for that or didn't occur to him to make their identify secret but whichever way he does it, he couldn't have played in any other betting company in Nigeria because that is the biggest, most popular and trusted with very big fan base. So Nigerians would have guessed rightly where he bet from. I mean, he couldn't have put only his picture without a little bit of disclosure that will make gamblers assume the company he played it from.

It's to impress people around him. People with enemies are doing this stuff all the time in order to make their enemies aware that they aren't just someone to mess with. They have to make it known to his enemies that he has money to waste.

Celebrities often want to show off. Having an expensive wheel is like showing success. They gotta make it known because success invites success and they could get endorsements and so on. Showing off that he could bet a huge amount attracts fellow high rollers.

I myself do not blame gambling activities, because it is the right of everyone, the problem in my opinion here is because he is a public figure in the country of Nigeria and uploads it to social media, which surely people will follow and try what he is doing, I mean even if he wants to gamble to bet on a soccer match, then hide his gambling.

What he did in my view was like advertising gambling and the site of the site he bet, such as inviting ordinary people to make a bet on the place he made a bet, this had a behavior of behaviors such as gambling site advertisements. Even from what he did it could have an impact on the child who saw him and follow what the socialite did.

The rest I agree with your opinion that it's better to use the money for more useful things, maybe for their fellow there who need help like food or anything to help the Nigerian people, I think it's far more useful than showing off the number of bets that may contain a lot of contraception .

Some dude somewhere made a big bet. I don’t understand why people even care. If he can afford to make big bets why should it be our business? You are only making him more famous when you talk about him and I hate making irrelevant people famous. Thanks to you now i am also making a post about him and contributing to his fame.

He is exactly doing what those youtubers doing. Acting stupid to attract views. I have seen a guy blowing up his tesla with dynamite just because tesla couldn’t repair his car and he got so many views. I am pretty sure he made more money than the cost of his car now.

He just staked his ‘feeling’ and showing it to audiences won’t determine whether it is a winning or losing bet other than the result itself. Aside from him, for sure there are other bettors in contrast to his, with a high if not higher bet. With regards to the amount, it is for is big however it is under his tolerance of losing for sure unless he is that foolish to go all out. I doubt it is an “all out bet” on his end. Also his act of showing it might be his way to encourage others to bet as well on his side; just to lessen his worries; if he lose then others as well would do so.Likewise with Drake’s bet. They are just confident with their bet the same as with how we believe on our bets; they just have a bigger margin which gives emphasize to their ‘gut feeling’. And to those who are thinking that bets of such means they know the result, they could simply get killed from spilling such information so I doubt.

All I can say is that there are a lot of people who have a chance to use their money for other things but instead want for them to benefit themselves and if that's what they want to do, there's nothing wrong with it.

If he can afford it then just go. I am amazed to see that they are flaunting it so much that it makes it attractive to follow it or something.  Maybe he is bored and wants to be entertained with money.

All in meaning that 5 million is all he got or is that just rather big pocket money to him that he affords to lose? Because with super rich people, it's the whole another ball game.
Also since he is a unknown socialite to me, i am thinking this is surely a calculated move to get more followers. For some reason people want to follow and listen to other people who have lots of money. I am guessing they are thinking they could learn something or some of it would rub off to them.

Sadly for every successful rich people there are thousands of poor people who are using same exact methods, but as it's a zero sum game, everyone can't be as lucky, and the lucky one could even be giving horrible tips.

It is what it is regardless and we have to accept that fact,  if you have such money at your disposal you will as well risk it considering the potential winning that await you if you predict rightly,  although gambling is highly risky and avoidance of taking too much risk that you can't afford to bear is far better than any other thing and as a matter of fact you have to act inline with your availability of resource to risk with it.

In this guys own case,  5 m in naira means nothing much to him and as a matter of fact, he can and will make that money through another bet,  and he should be cool with it,  it is only a problem if he has some close member of his family still living in poverty and he wastes such an amount.

It could be for marketing purposes because the name of the betting platform is clearly written on it or it might be he wanted to show off. We've this popular saying in my locality which simply says "put your mouth where your money is". It might be that he had bragged about the game with his friends that Arsenal was going to win the game, and to show how serious he was, he had to stake heavily on it. However, I do not welcome the idea of sharing the bet slip on social media, he could have just sent it directly to his friends via PM.

Had to laugh a little bit after reading your thought on the thread, and it makes a sense settling with how we promote the actions of these celebrities making them more famous for free while they turn out to be making the money. For us that understands their strategy we are never delighted seeing that we're fairly taking part in that promotion.

Very crazy nowadays what social media can make people do out of desperation  to catch attention and every time they do any of those crazy things they usually get the views they had aimed. We are living in a society where people can do anything for fame, the trend is something that as a social media user it doesn't thrill me anymore when I read or watch them.

I don't know him but when there are posts related to their bets, they usually highlight not the bet but the platform where they're betting.

Especially if they're a known person and you can think of the possible sponsorship that's taken by them or paid post. Anyway, if not, it's just about flexing how much he had bet and probably got the strategy from Drake.

I disliked two things about this gentleman. First, he shared his winning publicly which not only may create problems for him in the long run (that's his problem) but more importantly other gamblers may become sad and jealous when they see other people winning so much money and they are just losing money every day.

Secondly, I see the subject as he went "All - IN" for this bet. Is it so?
Again this gives the wrong message to the gamblers to risk a lot of money or going "all in"  in the bets. If one time he got lucky, does not mean that risking too much money on every bet will be successful for him or anyone gambling.

It's actually their personal mindset. I don't really know much about this person. I'm seeing them for the first time.  However, even though his family lives in poverty, in this side he is irresponsible if he does not look after his family. But back to reality, he can legally do whatever he wants with his money.
Anyway on to my personal comment now, you already mentioned he is a socialite, so his social media post may can be influenced people. I saw the name of a betting website in the picture you provided, in this case it may be that he is promoting that betting site through his socialist power. ::)

This is my worry about some of these rich society people who lavish money around by showing off their present wealth status and yet they have people around them who would benefit from such wealth. Some rich guys today get poor in the future because they didn't invest or didn't channel it in the right place.


Although it is not impossible but we are yet to see him as an ambassador for the company, so we await such news officially.

Celebrities can be gamblers like anyone else. If they want to share predictions and placed bets with their followers, I don't see any problem on that. It's tgeir right doing so, just like you could do as well, if you wished.

The problem lies on the idolatry the common individual feeds towards the celebrity in question, as if they were above the good and evil, as superior beings. That is what has to be fixed, and not the fact celebrities are sharing their hobbies with the public.

Bet9ja must be so popular in Nigeria that this guy is trusting the platform. And he promoted it whether you see it as obvious as it may look, he still did a good analysis for his bet. This is not new anymore, Drake is doing it all the time when a big match is happening.

We can't really tell whether the socialite is paid to market the bookmaker and it's not in our position anyway to step in and stop him.
It's not accepting BTC nor any other crypto by the way.

Nothing really special there whether it's a show-off, practicing their bragging rights, entertainment purposes, or just anything else.

Since they are capable of doing that, they can freely just share it anytime they want regardless of the bet amount.

Just take that with a grain of salt. After all, that's their own money and even losing it won't harm their overall finance.

The money he won was belong to the gambler and he had the full rights and potential to use the money in the legal way.This money was not belong to the money laundering,he had won from the legal way of betting.So he had the potential to spend on all the resources he want to spend using the big jackpot.Many gamblers poverty was overcome by the gambling winning,many of my friends had got good win by the analytical betting in the gambling.He should use the money in the good way and multiple the same money to many ways.So the gambler income will be high by the multiple of the income to various sources.

When it comes to gambling spending then it is really just truly that non others peoples business on what we should gonna do into our money whether there's some intent behind out of those actions or not. As a billionaire then neither he would really be that doing for some marketing strategy or not then there's no way that we could be able to say considering that it is really that
hard to tell because we dont know if its really just that simply he's really that playing for fun or something that have some different purpose. Spending up tons wont really be that necessary on gambling
even if you do say that you are really that a billionaire but doesnt mean that you would really be that splurging lots of money on gambling on which they could really be still making
use of small amounts on which that they could really be able afford to lose on which there's no issue on how much they would really be using up.

This shouldn't be any news at all because a lot of socialite and celebrities in countries all over the world also Gamble. I feel that this particular person is trying to advertise the sport bookies more than he is trying to showcase his bet.

This particular sports bet site is going to have a lot of traffic during the next premiership or football game because a lot of gamblers would create an account with them and make their bets. Some will win but the sports bet sites is going to make a lot of money from it.

His prediction came out fruitfully because he had to give Arsenal win or draw against Chelsea. As long as you've said he is a billionaire, so he has the money to splash. but from what I'm seeing here, is a very high stake and from how the match went, it could have gone south on him if Chelsea had won that match, but  let's cut him some slack because he was able to make a good prediction.

We don't know what his motive was for sharing his bets publicly. Perhaps there was a purpose he was hiding by doing that. And as readers, we can only skip it because we can't follow him to bet big money. It was his money, and he could use it for whatever he wanted. But if he does that and shares it publicly, he may indirectly hurt many people who still cannot make ends meet. And he easily used a lot of money to bet. But that's up to him because it's his money.

The people around him also couldn't do anything other than watch the news. Some people may follow suit, placing the same bet but with a different amount of money. And some people don't react in any way after reading the news. We must be able to filter all the information we get and not immediately follow it if we don't know anything.

That will be the most pathetic thing to discover,  that if any of both immediate or even extended family still leave below the average and he do this that means he is most not care at all,  because we have so many people who fhat amount can become a life changer to them,  and having the possibility to have the financial furtun turn around if they have access to such an amount of money.

Although I don't know anything much about his family and how well to do they are,  but that is least of my concerned anyways as long as he can afford to throw such an amount away on a bet selecting Chelsea to win Asernal.

E-money has no record of being an ambassador to any gambling site at least none that I know for now,  but even if he is an ambassador staking such an amount in one bet doesn't show any sign of responsible gambling from the socialite

If he is advertising the casino, then he must have taken some huge amount of money from the casino for this purpose, other than the amount he won from the bet.
I don't think he has any reason to advertise the casino site for free.



Well, there is no harm if people make account on that site and start betting through it but the concern is that betting through this site or any other site should not make any difference. If you are able to make the right prediction and chose the correct bet, you will win the money no matter which site you placed the bet or is there anything special about this site ???

I think I get your point. It may be normal for gamblers to be proud of their success and achievements but we should atill be mindful of what we share in social media especially if you are somene that people look up to, like celebrities. It still important for celebrities to be mindful of how their words and actions impact others when it comes to sensitive topics like money and gambling. Their influence can encourage fans to engage in risky behavior. It would help a little if he posted a disclaimer.

I don't really see a problem with it. Gambling isn't some kind of sin or a surefire way to destroy lives. In fact, the gambling industry has created jobs for many people. It's just that some folks love the thrill of being entertained, and they use gambling as a form of entertainment. Who cares if they lose? They're paying for that satisfaction.

The only issue arises when someone, lacking knowledge about gambling, gets overly optimistic about winning. Even though they can't afford to gamble, they insist on it because they're tempted by the promise of a big reward. That's just plain foolishness, and that's the real reason people lose money, not the gambling industry itself.

This type of questions are getting annoying whenever I read them, like seriously, are you like E-Money? Do you know his worth? How hard can it be to understand that Drake and E-Money are rich and they can afford to take risks with higher amount compare to millions of people in the world today?

Am I supposed to feel like, since celebrities are gambling with their hard earned money then gambling must have been a money home and I am the one that's not getting the strategy to success? Through gambling? Are you joking or what?

The thing is, these celebrities might even be promoting that gambling platform indirectly, oh yes, E money is also using the same platform to gamble, let me deposit some money on the platform and also try my luck, see the truth is, this is about me, not E money or Drake, they are both humans like me but by mind, spirit and fate, we can never be the same.

I don't walk in other peoples shadow and I think no one should.

I would not say it wrong it's his money anyway, he is known as a billionaire so it's peanut to him there are people who like to flaunt how rich they are because they want to maintain their status as very rich people, and there are people who like to help poor people with their money, that's two sides of rich people, one spending and betting just to show people how rich they are, and another helping people and showing them how blessed they are.

But between the two I pick the latter because they made the world a better place to live, while the other looks down on people and makes them think that he is above everyone. 

Both need respect though. People who announce themselves as rich look forward to getting respect from fellow socialites. And most people are actually going to pay respect to them knowing they are successful with whatever business they are into.

Damn sure he has a purpose for posting a slip to the public. Just like those rappers who show off the shiny Blings around their necks, socialites I guess also compete who is richer than the other.

People are impressed by big numbers but they should be impressed by the predictive ability and track record vs volatile results.   Big numbers are simple to perceive and so is the general take of the famous person putting down a bet but I'd be mostly impressed by hard work of someones knowledge accumulated over a life time to determine sports bets accurately.
   Multi bets that win are always the most impressive to me, you dont have to bet alot if you are right on 10 different games.  Or the real long shot bets maybe far ahead for season winners when nobody would have guessed that team.

I like this so much. Influencers everywhere. And the society blindly follows them without asking a second question. "They are doing it so we should do it too", that way we can keep up with the trend. I mean why? Does following someone really gives us any advantage? Or does it make us mindless robots who only follows what others are doing or making us do?

I like the last line a lot. We all have free will. You should be allowed to bet on whatever we want and how much we want. And not follow some celebrities. Gambling is based on luck. Following others does not increase your luck neither increases the chances of winnings. I'm still confused why people do it. I think people are more afraid to accept the mistake and just want to blame others for their failure.

There are people who are really looking up to celebrities, and they copy their lifestyle a lot. Anything their celebrity does, they always see as something that's very good, and they like to do it just as they are doing it, so making such a bet public to me and to some doesn't look good at all.
 
They have the money, and they can risk it. Even if the game doesn't play as they predict it will, they don't have a problem losing that money, but those who do will fall victim to doing what they are doing and wagering a large amount that they can't afford to lose, which will put them in a state of confusion as a result of the loss.
 
Celebrities should leave by principle and know that people are looking up to them. They should hide their gambling habits from the public, or better yet, they can hide their gambling amount so as not to convince their fans to follow their lead.

Drake of Nigeria is guess. He is someone I have known for long time and been a billionaire(not sure about that but they referred him with that title a lot), he is not the type that post about money but he display wealth when he feels like but there was time his company was been investigated and he stopped displaying wealth. Now, showing this bet looks promotional to me, that's what drake do all the time because I haven't seen him show his favorite team teams all this years I have known him.

₦11,000,000 is equivalent to $10,000+ in dollar is not too big for his kind, not saying is not a huge amount but for a person of his kind, he has plenty under him to spare. A guy(punter) as well popularly known as MR.Banks bet $6,000 on stake yesterday to win $450,000  (https://x.com/mrbankstips/status/1715032795414753352?s=46&t=qJXYidUv-9dGH9cW3Joe_A). Today, he has just bet another $9000 dollars to win $100,000. With the growing rate of sporty, people might actually start to take gambling as full profession even though is a bad idea but they are actually winning by pumping profits into business.

The gambler who ready to spend the time in the gambling will become the millionaire one day.But they need to spend their time wisely to learn the game.The gambler who had earned more knowledge in the gambling will earn more money like billion in one day.This win may be considered as the big win,but you should understand the maximum time used by the gambler on this gambling sites.Without the huge knowledge,the gambler can’t win the huge amount like this.This was the biggest lesson for the gambler to share to next generation of the gambling.So he officially made the history to the gambling history,he can use the money in legal way to their all needs.

Again I don't think that if you spend more time on the gambling site you will get more winnings. Spending a lot of screen time in the gambling won't make you money. So if you are doing this stuff better you need to re-analyse your strategy.

First of all you need to lower your expectations that you won't become a millionaire or a billionaire with gambling. You need to manage the risk , play with less money and slowly and Steadily try to keep your profits more than the total losses in the gambling.

That's betting for him, he had his own choice to make so I don't see anything wrong here. Talking about the betting, only Chelsea fan will bet the winning for Chelsea. Trust me despite the oppression and everything Arsenal still came out strong and best with a draw, so I think Chelsea are the lucky ones here because Arsenal didn't bring out there best. I see Chelsea fan talking dirty about this match and I will laugh, bro a draw at home very bad, I expected more better from them. from my observation Arsenal would have score another goal but due to the time duration that's why they could not score

There are many things to question about this, firstly, E money is a prominent Nigerian man that is well know to be involved in many kinds of digital businesses online and in physical, how are we going to know if truly this slip was really from his verified social media handles, am someone who also trust his integrity but doesn't believe he can come out publicly this way, showing his betting slip, people may begin to predict that he got all his money from gambling and not in doing business.

More likely this is just to show off and he wanted to be recognized as one of the big bettors on their country and surely he will influence others because they will gonna think that it's okay to gamble because even the billionaires in their country are doing it. surely it will lead to other addictions and might gonna cause some troubles in their life because if they follow such a man who is a billionaire and they are just common folks who don't have much money, they might end up in debt because they might fall into addiction.

It's their money and they can do whatever they want to do with their money, Rich people are like that because of the abundance of money coming into their pockets they want to flaunt it by buying expensive clothes, watches, sports cars, and frequenting casinos and betting, they have a huge ego to fulfill, it's rare to see rich people giving back to humanity, they flaunt their riches and their gambling expenses not got poor people but for rich people to show them that he is richer
than all the other rich people and they want to be popular.
Money can really enhance a man's ego, you cannot expect these rich people to bet by hundreds or thousands they do it by hundreds of thousands to millions.

Yes, that is very obvious that this socialite just wanted to show off his big bet and try to proclaim that he has so much money right now that he can afford to lose or make that huge bet as if he is just enjoying his life right now. However, I will caution ordinary folks not to copy this guy and big bet as well. As I have said, with his money, he can do whatever he wants with it, including gambling.

But for us, when we see this big and think of copying his bet to the point that we almost guarantee that this could be a win and put large sums of money. But if the bet didn't go for sure it will hurt us more than the billionaire guy himself. So very careful and not replicate in terms of bet this individuals that are flaunting their money in the gambling world, including streamers.

It could be like that because some people deliberately want to show the public that they place bets with very large amounts of money. Maybe they want to attract people's attention, especially his fans, to follow him in betting on the group he chooses. But those who are not fans don't need to follow his bet, especially if we don't have more information that can be used as material for our consideration of whether to follow his bet or leave him. For people who have a lot of people, a billionaire, they can gamble with a lot of money. But not for those of us who don't have a lot of money. And even if we want to gamble, we have to pay attention to how we use the money so that we don't gamble more than we can afford.

Stuff like these get posted on social media all the time. I understand the OP's concern, being from a developing country the youth need to focus their energy and money on things that can help develop the country rather than wasting it on unnecessary spending. Since the youth get indirectly influenced by such posts, hence the need to make them aware.

I would suggest the OP to do as much as they can in making the younger generation know the good and bad things about gambling and what effect it can have if done without experience. Celebs make money by making a fool of their followers but there is very little you can do to stop this, its human nature to follow celebs like this.

Think of it as finding inspiration in gambling – it might seem like an impossible mission to win, but it can be done. Just imagine this: you're in a developing country where the cost of living isn't that high. What if you could actually succeed in gambling? That would lead to a life with financial freedom.

It's about looking at what this celebrity shared from a different perspective. It's his money and his freedom, and we shouldn't rush to judge or view it with a negative vibe. Instead, let's think outside the box and explore the possibilities.

I won't blame the socialite for whatever decision he made and I believe some club fans can go crazy for their club and this could be one such show of confidence to have chosen Chelsea to win the game mandating such a huge amount on the bet.


Although, no one knows what has been his previous winning rate and how often has he won huge amounts and compared to his current losses at this point,  gambling is business to some of those top people that we may think to have so much money because they can easily use their money to play and luckily win good amounts.

For me, everyone has a different understanding and way of thinking in every business and action they want to take, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, Maybe we all already know the true meaning of gambling activities, many of us think that gambling can only be obtained from luck.

Therefore, if the rich person in the photo, places a bet between the Chelsea vs Arsenal match on Saturday 21 October has passed, if that person places a bet on one of the clubs/teams, obviously he was unlucky and he experienced a huge amount of failure, because Chelsea vs. Arsenal was scored (2-2), meaning it was a draw.

That's gambling, you can never predict whether you will be successful or unlucky on the day you place your bet, so gamble as you are, don't be selfish and emotional about placing large bets, no one can guarantee the will of fate. gambling never knows you, rich, poor, officials, traders, presidents and so on, lucky days can determine success.

I think there are 2 reasons rich people gamble, first they gamble for fun or they are endorsed by the casino platform. For E money, I think he is doing endorsements to encourage people to gamble on the gambling platform he uses. You can see how eccentric and flashy his clothing style is, it really describes an influencer who endorses a product. He even dressed like a Muslim, which I thought was quite funny because in Muslims it is not acceptable to gamble.

In this individual own case, I think it's a bit different since I have not seen him on any influencer job before and at some point,  his line suggests that he made the bet for the love as a fan of Chelsea and trusting them to win the match against Arsenal,  but then it was a bit too late for him when his club could not give him that victory goal that could make the big difference for him with all the changes that they had,  the missed all the attempt to make that mark,  so he lost the 5 millionnaira inn the bet w

Talking about draw result and talking about having other team didnt take them seriously? I dont buy that or believe on what you are saying.There's nothing being best to be the winner on which if they could beat up
the enemy team easily then they should have  done that as much as they could and dont letting them score. It is really just that a shit kind of comment on telling about on not on being serious on which it is really just that a normal word if you are really justthat a solid fan with Arsenal.  ;D

Speaking for someone who do make out bets, doesnt matter if you are a billionaire or average joe who do make out such bet then results would really be just the same. I do agree in some points that
if someone choses a particular team then just let them be on which its their money that been used up not yours. Speaking about on how much bet they do put up then its entirely depending on you.
Financial status couldnt really be seen or predicted with just the amounts that had been gambled. We've seen here that put up some million of Naira which it isnt something
expected for a billionaire but well its their decisions to make not ours.

I don't see any wrong on the way he stake for his bets. Of course, he is a wealthy man so expect that he will also bet like any other high rollers in gambling.  And if ever he losses his bets, that's okay because he has actually a lot of money to bet and to lose. Just like what Drake has been doing in his gambling activity.  He never ends up regretting all his decisions because he also won huge amount at some point.

And if you worry because he's a big time celebrity that can easily influence his audience most especially the minors, well what's the social media is all about. The only way they will learn in gambling is for them to suffer from their losses at some point as gambling never guarantees profitability, but its all about losses in reality.

Lemme assume the game hasn't been played yet .. he's not being confident cus he's staked that high - that hasn't proved any confidence one bit... He's only staking high cus he's so fucking rich and there's a little to what he's gonna lose if it doesn't cut...
Mind you, that might also be a way to promote the casino since he's actually a celebrity... If not, why's he asking everyone to bet alongside?... I wouldn't feel any different assuming I was active when this was posted.

It only means one thing, the celebrities that are staking higher amount and still ok to publicly show it and do not have any regret even when the lose is that this person have way more than the amount they wagered.  In short they have deep pockets that can support a high stake bet multiple times.


Anything goes, if he is lucky then he will have his win but if not, he might lose.  Regardless  I don't really care at all since it is his money, he has the right to spend it anyway he wanted.  About the match, everything may happen, I remember some thread here where a person lost millions of dollar by betting on the leading team and eventually got rekt.  Same scenario may happen.

Yeah it is what it is,  is gambling sometimes you win and another time you lose,  so you win some and lose some,  and this time the billionaire had a taste of losses and that amount was a big significant amount that will wooah many of us here int he forum.

But to a man of his class,  this loss may be an unnoticeable amount to him and also depending on the amount he has won previously and I am sure that he may have won big in gambling before to have built such a level of confidence in the team.

There is no currency symbol so I assume that 5M he staked was Nigerian money because he is from Nigeria. I did some conversion and found that the amount is only equals to 6655.00 in US dollars. It was still big for a normal individual but not really big for a billionaire or a social elite like him. Maybe the big deal here is he is only publicizing his bet.

Gambling is unpredictable but some types of it like for example this sporting event might be possibly predicted with the right set of analysis. But after all, I know that the chance of losing is still there. Oh well, he must only hope for the best and once he lose the money, I know that he won't despair too much since it might only be the money that he can afford to lose.

The fun part is what I think of them, majority of big men gamble for the fun of it and most of the time is when they hangout, you see them around table playing blackjack because it's a casino game for the mature and not all these Dice machine, they see that as kids stuff. Whereas for Emoney, he just decide to do sports match using Arsenal for attention.

If this is not endorsement, there is nothing closer to it because I know his is an influencial person, people will does as he said. If indeed he is trying to show his bet for Arsenal, he can juts simply cutout the place that display the sporty bet name but he didn't, if people or the fans should see the name, they will certainly want to use the platform, hence the power of influence is working, this is nothing but promotion.
 

You mean that amount is high? I don't think so. There are sporty bettors I know since day one that gamble more than that amount and business wise, they are not half wealthy as emoney is today but they gamble everyday and makes life though gambling. Perhaps you can say that was the amount he was allowed to be used for promotion just to bring people into the platform and also send message of betting responsibly.

Money is good, but I realized that if you have money you have higher chance of making more alot. If he to strategize well, he will be making a lot from sport bet and that's why he have the guts to post it.

We cant really remove the possibilities that marketing or exposure would really be the main intent on such kind of bet and some do really even been thinking that when it comes on the amount that had been used then it would really giving out that kind of question that if he's a billionaire then why he had really just that make out some $4k value bet? You would really be having those type of questions in mind on which there's no way that we could really be able to answer it out which it is obviously whether that man is really just that placing his minimum bet or simply totally random basing up into his mood or whatsover.
There's no way on finding out the real reason behind those numbers.

In overall, we are really just that the same on which we do really gamble for fun and there's no such thing about drawing line about in between billionaires and casual gamblers on making out bet.
It is really just that people would really be giving out emphasis into those people who are influential or having really that kind of status when it comes to finances and popularity
on where they could really be that determined directly once you do be able to spot them out.

I agree. If someone has money, thats his/her's to do with as they please. Anything else would be completely unacceptable in our society.

However, I do wonder if this can be said for people with mental illnesses? Should the schizophrenic woman be allowed to gamble away her life's savings just because the voices in her head told her to do it? I would argue no. It's not her fault that she cannot perceive reality as it is, due to a neurochemical dysfunction. People with problems need to be protected from themselves. That is a collective social responsibility, which we should embrace.  ;D

And not every problem seems like a big deal but it can be. Gambling, drugs or violence glorification are examples of problems that should not be fueled by some delusional "influencers" urge for attention and/or wealth.

That is the fundamental of money for you,  you use money to make more money and in gambling is a game of luck and once your luck gaer is on you have the floor to yourself at that time, but them you must also have to be very calculative in your approach to a lot of things,  and for sure the be a lot more of risk when you have much resources to gamble with,  and sometimes if you are an ambassador to a casino,  you easily get funds to gamble with.

But in the man's situation, haven't seen anywhere this mentioned that he has any affiliation with the casino used for that bet.

It is actually some kind of a sin to some countries or religion. It can cause a problem to them if they still insist to gamble and won't be careful about their activity. For the other religion or countries, they may allow gambling but people must still be careful. It's for their own safety and also gambling causes a person to become addicted on it.

It is possible for their lives to get destroyed this way. Fortunately, gambling also have some benefits, and you already mentioned some of it. Maybe there are some gambling companies who promise a big reward for their customers but this is a kind of fake advertisement. I hope there are some laws about it because poor individuals can hold on to these false promises.

That is the simple way to explain why gambling has been abhorred by religions across centuries and why it still continues to plague some families. It ends up being a problem of the family and they need professional help which could be prevented if steps were taken some time back.

However, the gambling tendency comes from certain mindsets like personality traits and hence it tends to influence people from a younger age if they are exposed to such content. It all comes down to how much people are mature enough to process a certain thing they read about on social media. Knowing that the major earners from gambling are its owners and affiliate marketers, it should make the readers cautious before stepping in.

Even if the bet slip is not for the mentioned person, still that bet is too risky, but it can also be risky because what if the better didn't care about the outcome? Then he will rely on his luck, and there are 50/50 percent chances, which is too risky. It may not be risky because the man may be sure about the bet; that's why he put a high amount of money into that bet. Well, either way, it will definitely hit his life; it may be good or bad.

If this person just faked that post, he is a big scam; claiming others bet slip is a bad thing; and also, flexing bet slip is not a good move because, as you said, many will be suspicious about the man who posted the slip. He can be targeted if, for instance, the bet he placed is win situation.

Exactly the focus is not on the individual involved,  because off cause we know who the money is and how much he is worth in terms of business but then also we can deny the fact that he is a Chelsea fan and has made and won several bets on Chelsea before and this is not the first time those celebrities will go public to show how much they stake on their favourite clubs,  we have so many musicians doing same.


We have seen the success in such bets and also experienced their failure and losses just like this one case,  so the thing is the relevance of this incident and the lesson we can build around it is whatmattersr most at some point and not the personality or property ownership of the ops in question.

Knowing well the kind of person E money is, i don't think he can go to that length in faking things for us just to imprest the people by living a fake life, am not siding him because anyone can do thesame or even worse framing lies, but let consider the money involved, isn't that too much to handle on gambling when there are many other citizens in penury suffering and they are not helping out than busy gambling with their money, if such person should loose, he wouldn't mind because he knows what he has to cover up for the loss, same vein it has happened in the past that some were that rich and turned poor at the reason of gambling.

You are very correct in that aspect that you mentioned that there be no need for the socialite to fake things and no one is bringing in that aspect of things in this discussion unless for your previously quoted comment that points us in that direction, maybe you can go back and read your comment again to understand what I am saying.

The focus of this discussion is on the ability of the billionaire to have trusted a club that much to have staked such an amount of money in a time like this when most people are barely surviving and nothing more, anyways,  he is a billionaire and the loses may not be anything much for him at some point because of his level of finances.

Most of the ones who are there on social media are faking it any way. However in this context, I will talk about a youtuber who goes with the name "Hypalinx" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLyZl50t77Yxkr7Lywuesaw

This guy shows his losses and profits in gambling career and obviously the first one exceeds the other. His channel shows that he is an addicted gambler but he tries to keep it under control while playing at times and keeping his viewers happy. Of course he is getting paid from youtube and Twitch earnings but these are people who keep it real and minimize the faking.

So where is the difference? Hypa have only 57.6k subs on youtube while these scumbags have way more followers on twitter.

We still have a num of them that keep things real and won't fake things on social media just to gain views,  likes and comments,  this is not true with some of them because for some one like E Money, he is too big to fake such an amount in bet even though the source of the news are good at putting up unverified content,  it still ball down to the individual involved and what he has been known to do at all time with his elusiveness in the way he fan Chelsea even though the club have under performed a lot in the last few seasons.

But what I have observed is that people like to live in fantasies and if you are promoting that coolaid, you get their support and you can grow your own channel via that support. Therefore channels and pages that promote the fantasy worlds will always have a bigger crowd following them than those who speak the truth because the truth is bitter to hear.

This is true in many aspects, not just gambling and fakers who promote gambling in the wrong manner. Pseudo-science peddlers and fake cures are there on social media and they peddle the wrong ideas only for their own gains.

This is why scientific thought and reasoning are important, with that one can understand the in gambling casinos always win in the cumulative long run.
