Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity?

Casino is using this big influencers to set a huge trap to gamblers by means of showing huge bets to attract them to copy him.

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

No sorry.

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

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

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

[Cryptomiles1]

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

...

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

Many bettors now believe that the money Drake gambles on the site is in fact deposited by Stake itself. Some claim he can make such high-risk bets because he is not risking his own money.
Whether or not this is true is yet to be discovered; however, with a net worth of a quarter of a billion, it’s not unreasonable to think he has the bankroll to fund such outrageous betting habits.

Drake’s Stakes: The Canadian Rapper Who Wagered Over $1 Billion In 2 Months

Also interesting, from the same article:

Total Wins: CA$81.1 million ($62.4 million)
👎 Total Losses: CA$34.6 million ($26.8 million)

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

Some of his biggest successes occurred during live-streamed events as part of his partnership with Stake. In fact, a single spin on a live roulette table saw him win over $17 million in May.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[virasisog]

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

[Ararbermas]

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

[TheUltraElite]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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