A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet

[Wiwo]

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

[swogerino]

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.

[cabron]

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.

[Casdinyard]

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.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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

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.

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.

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.

[Slow death]

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.
