A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet

[BitDane]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
 

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.

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.

[Mamapami]

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.

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.

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. 

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.

[tygeade]

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.

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.

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.

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.
