Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone

[TheUltraElite]

Music industry people are the most weird bunch of all celebrities out there. They are the maximum number of mentally ill among celebs in my opinion and gambling, drugs, alcohol are like daily necessities there without which there is no "glam". Eventually the long term effects start showing off - in this case it's gambling debt, for others it might be a health issue or a overdose leading to hospitalization.

Indeed not being a responsible gambler will lead to this type of situation even for a somewhat rich musician.

That situation with Bruno Mars and his huge debt only proves that large money spoils people, and people should always be responsible towards money. I dont know how to change people's attitude to money. On one hand they can do with their own money whatever they want. On the other hand, a lot of people with large amount of money require financial education. Or someone who would monitor their expenses and suggest to take a pause one day.

You'll know how much the guy is worth based on the amount of money he can lose, those figures for average gamblers are already huge but they can keep losing that kind of money because they can earn that kind of money because they are still in demand or they have a good and profitable business but once they can't no longer earn that they cannot afford to lose that amount of money.
It's hard to be addicted to gambling and you have no way to earn money to sustain your addiction.

The lesson to learn is that gambling addiction is not respecter of Gender, economic status, race, nationality, religion. It will mess you up, bring shame and disgrace to you if you don't abide by the rules of responsible and do all you can to avoid it.

All forms of addiction can be suffered by anybody regardless of who such a person is. Drake and Bruno Mars are fortunate that they have the means to finance their gambling activities meanwhile many people are in debt because of addiction and don't have the means to pay it. This is why it is important not to copy the lifestyle of these celebrities because it could be destructive. If you follow and copy what most other celebrities post on social media, you might be deceived.

It is sad to see Bruno Mars lose his funds on gambling because he might not keep earning big forever. There might be a time when his music will not make much waves which might reduce his income. At this time he might become broke and start struggling to survive. This is the case with some celebrities in my country. They lavish their money and when they become broke they end up begging for public support when they are in need.

[Cantsay]

Even though Bruno Mars is an example of an artist who does not represent a responsible gambler, because he has a debt of $50 million USD to MGM, he is worth $175 million, and if you subtract the debt he still has $125 million - that's still a lot of money. In fact, he can actually pay off this debt in just a short time, because he is one of the most famous singers in the world and he can earn millions of dollars or more if he goes on a concert tour to many countries.
So there are some people who, even though they are crazy about gambling, are supported by their huge income. Even casinos tolerate them, because they believe that he can pay it all if he wants.

I also had to check his net worth after coming across this thread, and I saw that it was $175 million.

The fact that he`s an addict means that the remaining fortune, despite being a lot, is still at risk. Someone who was able to owe $50 million dollars, what do you think will stop him from gambling more? If his addiction is not properly handled, we will be reading more articles about his wealth sooner than later.

The lesson to learn is that gambling addiction is not respecter of Gender, economic status, race, nationality, religion. It will mess you up, bring shame and disgrace to you if you don't abide by the rules of responsible and do all you can to avoid it.

The point is that self-control over gambling is not based on the person's social status, whether they are artists, officials, poor people, rich people, etc. You still cannot avoid gambling addiction. Because recognition depends on a person's way of looking at gambling. Don't overdo it in making decisions and always think rationally because gambling involves betting which involves ownership. Gambling in the case of Bruno Mars is quite serious because besides him, he is a well-known public figure who plunged himself into a hole that he could not climb out of. The result will impact not only ownership but also reputation in front of the fans and possibly loss of career. Just with that mistake he had ruined many paths ahead of him.

Several internet sources today has reported that Bruno Mars borrows money specifically for gambling purposes, this is one thing that goes against one of the  rules of responsible gambling. Bruno currently owes 50 million dollar in gambling debts. I am not going to bore you with the detail. Therefore, I will leave a link to the full story - https://www.nme.com/news/music/bruno-mars-is-reportedly-50million-in-debt-due-to-gambling-3602329.

There are so many celebrities like Mars and Drake, earning a lot of money and they don't care about their losses, because they have the means to get it back, but they are bad examples to people who look up to them.

There is a temptation for celebrities to indulge in gambling because they have a large amount of money and they've got it easily in one concert alone they can make millions so if they want to gamble they pour in a lot of money and they don't care if they want to lose or win, they just want to continue because they can sustain.

Gender, economic status, race, nationality, or religion are not factors that determine the person who might get affected by gambling addiction, which is a grave issue. In one such instance, it has been reported that Bruno Mars, who is an internationally renowned celebrity, had a huge pile of debts due to his indulgence in gambling. This example suggests that the perils of gambling are not confined to common folk alone but can also influence influential and celebrated personalities as well.

The thing to understand is that being addicted to gambling can be a real problem. You will come across difficulties such as loss of much money or breaking relationships with friends, family, loved ones, and even the saddest of all - starting to see everything negatively. Therefore, always playing responsibly and following the rules set by our governments will prevent those negative consequences for ourselves and others in our community.

Moreover, there is significance in sensitizing people to the drawbacks of uncontrolled gambling and offering support to those who might be in need. Gaining more knowledge about the adverse effects of gambling will enable us to address gambling addiction problems and minimize prejudice towards people negatively impacted by it.

Once you do have the fame and richness then you would really be normally be having that kind of confidence that you could be able to do everything since you have been able to make money so easily specially
if you are known and popular on which you would really be touching up those things on which we know that gambling could really mess up someones life so easily. No matter how rich you are
and we do know that there's no such thing about unlimited money. Yes, you do have tons but if you do keep on losing then one day you would really be able to feel the effects on which whom you thought
that it cant be possible on you since you do have tons of money but just as been said that this isnt something that could give out assurance.

Regret is always at the end and you would really be able to feel out those disastrous things if you do keep on losing and wont really be able to stop midway.
Addicts do really mess up their lives because of this one.

There would be no exemptions to those people who would really be affected by gambling addiction on which no matter what kind or type of condition you do have in life rich or poor. Chances of losing in gambling would really be just that the same and this is why if you arent that careful on the things you've been dealing with then you are really that susceptible with these life changing failures on which it would be causing up that big damage
specially on financial aspect. If you dont like to suffer those possible conditions then it would really be that best that you should really know on how to handle up yourself on such scenario.

You wont really be putting up yourself on such big or great risks if you are really that kind mindful about into your actions. You wont really be that putting up yourself on such potential
damage if you are really that responsible on the decisions you are making. Everything would reflect out on how you do deal from it.

You can't judge them are gambling addicts because they loss a lot of money, you need to check their net worth first. One of the example is Bruno Mars, his net worth is larger than his debt, he don't have to worry to pay it. He just need to work for a year to gain back his $50 Million.

Someone is an addict if he had a problem caused by gambling or he lost all of his money i.e. can't control himself.

His Net Worth
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Mars has an estimated wealth of $175 million. If the claim about his $50 million debt is valid, his net worth will be reduced to $125 million.

[boyptc]

I've been reading a lot of news about him and the amount of speculations and rumors that appear on social media, especially on X. Even if we say that Bruno Mars has not released a statement yet, there are a lot of people giving comments and mostly people seeing him gambling in a casino in Las Vegas but X turned down the tweets about him especially the ones with attached photos of him, so it seems that all the news about him is true. Tho, there is nothing wrong if he gambles because he is using his own money, but he has many fans who are under the age of minors and he can be a bad influence on them, especially if he gradually neglects his career.

Well, that can't be denied by those who have witnessed him to gamble there and are aware of his debt. While there's really no problem at all but the figures that's being shown isn't normal for us because we're just plebs but for a celebrity like him, I think that there's a problem if it's becoming a debt.

I think enough of people surrounding him have already known about it, he didn't need to come out and tell the world about his addiction, what good can anyone do for him to help him get rid of his addiction in any way?

I don't care about getting to know if truly he is addicted or not, it won't get me paid in any way and it won't stop so many beginners from getting addicted too.

Anyone can become a victim of addiction, either they are politicians or musicians or big figures in the world today, it doesn't matter, as good as gambling can get, it can also turn into a poison for your heart.

Yeah, we won't benefit from knowing if he's addicted or not or whether he's got that tons of debt because of his addiction.

But if the people that's surrounding him will give some help but he won't agree and obey, it's really his own fault of getting onto that point and only himself can help him.

I think drakes case was initially a case of gambling addiction but he has being doing it too frequently that I think it's part of a marketing strategy to promote his partners, what I notice is that when drake posts his prediction on a gambling match other gamblers bet against him due to his curse they think they can use his curse to win. Drakes is making money from stakes as a brand ambassador and he's getting paid regardless of if he wins his bets or not but others are losing.

Gambling addiction is a real problem and both celebrities and regular individuals can become a victim therefore we shouldn't gamble more than we can afford to lose or bet on games that we don't know anything about. Although gambling is a game of luck but lets try to only do things that'll favour us when gambling and not gamble irresponsibly as it'll make use to lose money and get into depression.

Drakes making a lot of money from his promotion to a casino so I guess we can still continue to see him doing some wild acts on gambling since maybe that's part of his marketing tactics to create a lot of hype on what he is doing or promoting.
 
But in the case of Bruno Mars we can really say that its so unfortunate that he experience this kind of situation and we can see that addiction can hit whatever status in life you are and those rich and influential guys can skip since they also prone to have a big problem since the amount they need to settle due to bad decision they made is huge just like what happen to this famous singer. But do hope he can recover since if his addiction will be the reason of his fall down then I guess we can say that Bruno Mars just waste his fame,wealth and talent just for the casino games which he can avoid or just enjoy.

While we often discuss Drake's well-documented struggles with irresponsible gambling and the "Drake's Curse", it's important to be aware  that gambling addiction can affect individuals from all walks of life. In this regard, let us take a moment to look at the case of another celebrity, Bruno Mars, whose gambling issues have manifested differently from Drake's.

Several internet sources today has reported that Bruno Mars borrows money specifically for gambling purposes, this is one thing that goes against one of the  rules of responsible gambling. Bruno currently owes 50 million dollar in gambling debts. I am not going to bore you with the detail. Therefore, I will leave a link to the full story - https://www.nme.com/news/music/bruno-mars-is-reportedly-50million-in-debt-due-to-gambling-3602329.

Anyone can fall into the trap of gambling addiction and that is why every gambler is instructed to gamble responsibly. When a gambler does not gamble responsibly it becomes so easier for the gambler to become addicted and when a gambler is addicted he gambles above normal which creates complications in the gambler's life. Gambling addiction is a serious problem that affects individuals across various demographics, irrespective of gender, economic status, race, nationality, or religion as you have noted. It is a condition that can have devastating consequences on a person’s life if left unchecked. The allure of gambling can be enticing, but the repercussions of addiction are far-reaching and can lead to significant personal and financial turmoil.

This is why responsible gambling is important. Engaging in responsible gambling involves setting limits, being aware of warning signs of addiction, seeking help when needed, and avoiding behaviours that may lead to compulsive gambling. By promoting responsible gambling habits and raising awareness about the risks associated with excessive gambling, individuals can mitigate the negative impacts of this widespread issue.

Bruno Mars is a very popular musician just like Drake, I will actually rate Bruno Mars and drake same thing when it comes to popularity and music career success.
Bruno is one of my favorite musicians, I have alot of his songs on my phone which I listen to everyday, and to be honest, it is hard to actually believe that this lad is owning to the ton of 50 million in dollars as a gambling dept 😳.

What type of game does this guys play in particular, is it not this same sports betting games, slot games, poker and other random gambling games we play from time to time? How exactly is it possible for a big name like bruno mars to owe 50 million dollars as a dept from gambling? What does he do with all the money he earns from his music shows, royalties, endorsements, partnerships and so on?

I honestly do not believe this story one bit, except it's confirmed by a reliable source, there are alot of fake news flying around everywhere, people can write anything against anyone just to drive traffic to their site.

[boltz]

As far as I've read , Bruno Mars loves gambling for quite a while and he is okay with it. However, on Drake side , the dude had no business to actually gamble but when Stake came to him and offer a monstrous contract to him , he slowly started to gamble more and more and more and at some point , he will gamble daily without even noticing it.

Also , wait until Twitch/Kick streamers will ran out of gas to gamble and those website won't fund them anymore , most likely all of them will still gamble from their own pocket money. We are living in the gambling era right now when it comes to sports and not only.

Well this smells bad for bruno mars if he is already living on loan at this young age. I don't think he has a very patronizing career like drake because of his style of music or popularity that will attract deals to him. The only saving grace he has is that he still has the time to pick himself up from this kind of habit and start to live right. If he were to be old then he may not have that opportunity to grow back capital to repay his debt. A lesson not to borrow to gamble because once you start borrowing you will continue to do that and that will get you to run into debts.

I think drake is more of advantage than Bruno Mars when it comes to gambling. I have not heard that drake is living on loan from gambling and moreover, he is a streamer and has a music career that is flourishing unlike like Bruno Mars. Well I wish for Bruno to get some help to stop borrowing to gamble but an addict hardly leaves his addiction.

Music industry people are the most weird bunch of all celebrities out there. They are the maximum number of mentally ill among celebs in my opinion and gambling, drugs, alcohol are like daily necessities there without which there is no "glam". Eventually the long term effects start showing off - in this case it's gambling debt, for others it might be a health issue or a overdose leading to hospitalization.

Indeed not being a responsible gambler will lead to this type of situation even for a somewhat rich musician.

The worst part of this story is that they are models for youngsters who (incredibly) want to become like them.

Back on the news, I don't know how much Bruno is paid every year, but I hope it is more than 50 millions because otherwise he may have ruined his life. And, even if his salary is higher than that, the solution must start with the recovery from his addiction, because otherwise the snowball will continue growing.

These are outdated and we dont know on how much he's earning as of today but basing up on
those numbers then having that $50M debt would be a pain in the ass on repaying it up.

Addiction is a disease that is not easy for the person who has this disease to admit that they are sick, because often the person who has the addiction thinks that they are fine and that what is happening to them is something normal and that they have control. of the situation. and when you confront the addicted person so that they admit that they are addicted, it takes a long time for the addicted person to admit that they are addicted and when they admit it comes another big problem which is the fact that the addicted person refuses to undergo treatment with a specialized doctor, most of the time it is necessary for people from the addicted person's family to take him to the hospital and admit him for a long time without him receiving visitors, without him having access to the internet

In this case of these two singers we need to know if they are undergoing some type of treatment to cure themselves, playing in a casino has no problem, as long as the person does not abuse and continues to have self control, as they are rich people, obviously sometimes they could play with a lot of money as long as it doesn't become something they do every day and with an amount they can't afford to lose. In my opinion, these guys should seek help while it's still early, the sooner they are cured of their addiction, the better for them. unfortunately in the US many singers are also drug addicts, so if they are also involved in drug addiction plus gambling addiction, then the situation becomes more serious
