Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity?

[Rruchi man]

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,


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.

[blockman]

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

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

However, as far as getting influence by him or any celebrity? I think experience and smart gamblers shouldn't follow anyone.

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

[acroman08]

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.

[ralle14]

would you be influenced to play the same game?

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.

[jossiel]

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.

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.

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

[harizen]

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.

[Beparanf]

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.

[dothebeats]

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.

[coin-investor]

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.

[jakelyson]

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.
