Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity?

[Finestream]

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[pawanjain]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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