This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!

The question is whether the Poker done by Neymar is gambling or a regular Online Poker game, because there are a lot of Online Poker games that do not use money or bets in it, they just play normally to fill their empty time with social media users or anonymous on the application, it might happen right?
We haven't gotten direct confirmation from Neymar on this, whether he is gambling on poker games or just playing without any gambling elements in it.

But given that he has lost a lot of money in the past, it is most likely gambling and he has an addiction, but all this is not yet clear because the mainstream media always adds a lot of spice to the news they write that is interesting to read.

I think most of the athletes have their not so dark secret in terms of gambling. When they're still a dreamer and wanting to give the best life for their family, they're able to achieve that by being a star or by just simply signing a contract.

Now after that comes the harder part and that's about how they can contain and control themselves not to be spendthrift with their money. Because when you have the money, everything is accessible and easy to do.

We've got athletes, celebrities and even a commoner becomes addicted so, it's not surprising to see such news about one has seen gambling on some random videos.

On the other hand he is addicted to being unfaithful.

Neymar is a typical example of person who lives for the world. He 'masters' the material world, having access to all the facilities, pleasures and comfort disponible for wealthy and influent individuals. For that reason, I think your phrase above is totally accurate and summarizes the description of Neymar very well, because when the person focus only on material stuff, he will be easily dragged by addictions and ephemeral pleasures, which don't mean anything on long run, while giving up on his human essence, which involve deep feelings of peace, self-consciouness, welfare which demand sensibility from the individual to be experienced.

If the person loses contact with this part of his existence, inevitably he will become unfaithful, empty, cold and indifferent to people and moments which should be important and full of meaning for him. I guess people start living on an automatic mode, shutting off their conscience more and more each new day and each new bad choice they make for their lives, worsening symptoms of addictive behavior, and even worse: symptoms of unfaithfulness...

And it's quite alarming to see that it has become so commonplace that a lot of people have become desensitized to it, even thinking that what these athletes do are something to be idolized and in turn, people will also do it even though they don't have the means to do so. The youth is who's the most affected from these activities by these athletes and superstars - and no, this doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, but perhaps people like Neymar should do it privately or not let other people document him doing it.

Then again, it's up to those who watch these guys if they will follow their footsteps even in that direction or not. IMO Neymar isn't doing anything wrong apart from prioritizing his gambling activities over his daughter's birthday, but still it's going to translate to a lot of youths thinking that gambling is cool just because their idol is doing it.

I agree, since they're idolizing him and there's a thought that "our idol does it so it's common and we'd do it too". This kind of thinking isn't new to the fans and as idols, they really have to set example.

But at the same time, we can't invade their privacy and whatever they do in their private time outside the sports that they've been doing or passion or career.

It's just sad that many kids are fans of him and other athletes as well and anyone who's being looked up to and then these kids might materialize someday that they'd gamble in support to their favorite athlete and team.

As human he ought to have been doing this wey long before he even became a superstar and that's the truth because many people that are actually celebrities now have been living a normal life and the only way maybe they could keep their habits content, sometimes its due to the facts that the available funds was not all that available but it becomes a different story when everything you can think of is at the tip of yours, that time what you do is use the money to gamble and called it having fun.

This incident of Neymar and many others like him, does indeed show how addictive behaviors can affect anyone regardless your financial status or being famous. It’s a good reminder of the importance of moderation while gambling. Now when it comes to this news if it’s real or not, I would say he simply failed to separate between his professional and personal life. I think it’s important to prioritize meaningful moments with loved ones and to consider the impact of our actions on those around us, in this case Naymer daughter will see her father less caring, especially that the news stays forever.

Moreover, I noticed more personalities are getting involved in either promoting gambling or getting addicted to some games, however, losing everything to gambling or a small percentage of your stable income isn’t the same at all, so it’s better to think twice before betting and gambling the same way these known personalities does.

They're just caught of the camera but it's for sure that many of them engaged in gambling activities off-cam and didn't caught at all.

Soon, we're going to see more of them and new names but have been in their industries for a very long time. As social media has become the back bone of the entire world and everything can spread like wildfire with just a post away.

And it will be globally posted in split seconds and will become a news headline within the day.

I think every human being wants to live a better life in the world so many people strive to reach a higher level of life, myself included.
It's very easy for you to judge people in this context, for me personally this rather than explaining at the level of impact of the Human itself when the position is the same as Neymar is very subjective and human relativism will cause different outputs on what they have done with gambling, whether it's abnormalities or unfaithfulness that may occur as you said, but for me personally this also depends on the response of his environment and also his family regarding the character that is in neymar, maybe you can say it in such a way, such as the popularity of wealth and getting access to all the luxurious facilities and finally plunging into addictions that will cause the bad nature of man to come out, we cannot be sure with just the naked eye in analyzing this kind of thing, but whatever it is called a very bad addiction will turn someone into a bad human being, such as drugs, women and including gambling, if the addiction suffered is in the final stage.

But we need to remember that maybe because Neymar today has many facilities to access all things easily, he is not worried about himself and the future of his family.

I think it is still too early to say whether Neymar is addicted to playing poker or not, only being based on a single rumor. But it would not be surprising if he in fact has developed some mild addiction for card games in online casinos.
Because if his wife budget to gamble, I doubt he will get to reach a state of bankruptcy, still shows nobody is actually safe from getting hooked up by certain casinos games.
Not much to say about it... I personally find it to be distasteful, how he decidedntonplag card games like poker in the same day they were supposed to be celebrating with his daughter, it sounds kind of inappropriate to gamble when one is supposed to have family time and such.

Without a doubt this does not really look good for Neymar, I mean if you were to capture him playing at any other time, you may think that he is just enjoying himself and nothing more, so you would have no reason to assume the worst at all, but when he is literally gambling on the birthday of his daughter, this could be a very strong evidence that his gambling is out of control, as there is not really too much of an excuse for a father to do something like this.

[EluguHcman]

There is just nothing people can not say to sabotage your personality once you have made firm.
If he is spotted playing or gambling on poker may not mean that he is addicted to it.
It could be one of his favorite activities which he enjoys at his leisures. Maybe the set of persons in the birthday ceremony was not the kind he could just sit and roll with and have funs out of their get-togetherness.

But anyways... He might actually be addicted but I have not heard of his bad side as Drake being situated excessively of gambling too much.

How do we even have that view to say someone is an addicted gambler?
Is it by steady gambling or by gambling with what is unaffordable to loose?
Because I have not heard of this guy Neymar running bankrupts as a case of his gambling addictions or he has lost opportunities due to distractions of his gambling addictions lifestyles.

Addiction has no respect for age, race, social status or nationality, so it is not strange if Neymar is addicted to gambling. Many celebrities or sportsmen are addicted to gambling and some of them become broke because of a lack of planning. But in Neymar's case, there is no proof that he is suffering from gambling disorder.

Being distracted by his phone on this important occasion might be a planned activity not to get close to his baby mama. Neymar has separated from Bruna Biancardi the mother of the baby so he might not be comfortable in her presence and wanted to use the poker games as a distraction. It could also be another means to promote PokerStars since he is an ambassador. However, I don't support publishing such news because the Brazilian superstar is a role model to manner children. And these children might want it engage in what their idols do.

Can't blame him. he's winning in life and at this point in his career he's got nothing to prove to people anymore, he's just that of a GOAT, but if you wouldn't mind me asking, what made you think he's addicted to poker, are there prior reports in the past talking about his addiction to the game? Did he say it himself? Cause shitty of a father as it may seem I don't think putting off your daughter's birthday to have fun with the boys could be considered as a prerequisite for gambling addiction, and to top it all off, they did this while they were in the party itself, and we all know these people, they let the kids have their own fun while they're out there doing their own thing enjoying what limited time they have together.

I wanna watch this scoop a little more closely cause I'm not particularly aware of what's going on in these football personalities' lives since I'm not chronically online, and I don't form parasocial relationships with the people I am a fan of.

[redsun114]

That was not right. Obviously, a gambling addict. There's a whole day to play that game and he could just let it slide for once or like hours of celebrating and then he can go back to whatever he is addicted too. I am sad for the kid and his family especially when the kid grows and sees this clip.
What's just 2 or 3 hours of focusing on your kid's birthday? Money and gambling can really control people and this is a big proof of it. Maybe he should see this clip and realize that he is doing it wrong as a father. Those are special moments that needs special attention and time. It cannot be destroyed by a bad habit or addiction.

But no one says it is. Not that I'm defending him but when we go to an event like for example birthdays, many of us are also doing like this. Even not totally in gambling but our eyes are glued in the screens of our gadgets. For some, this is to cope from their social anxiety, or maybe they are a bit bored because the main program has not started yet or is already over. It is still possible for us to chitchat to the people around us while we having this kind of mannerism.

And a severely addict will never attend such event anymore because they are only busy with their addictions. If it's a big concern for the public, the video can still be deleted. That should solve the problem. Also, Neymar should be careful with his actions next time, as he is a star and there's always a camera that is pointing at him.

that someone is found playing porker for a day doesn't mean he is addicted to shit and you'll are too fast in stacking celebrities when they do normally thing an average person out there will do without even being noticed. Those dudes have thier own life to live and outside of soccer, they still have to figure out ways to have some fun and if playing porker is his choice, there nothing addictive about it

The likes of Ronaldinho had a lot of bad information coming from his angle because he was said to be an addict than gambled away all his fortune after his prime and dude was just loving his life the way he enjoys it the most. Addiction don't just come from a one day stake and Neymar jr is still actively playing football and I doubt he would want to get involved in an addictive behavior that will distort his psychological framework and affect his play evidently. Most guys that get addicted to shit like that are those that have retired from active activities and if Neymar have retired, then it's possible that boredom might lead him to gambling to the extent of getting addicted but for now, nay! Dude isn't addicted at all.

Look how people turned negative to Neymar after giving little attention during birthday of his child. People judge him, when they themselves arent perfect parents either. Everyone have skeletons in their closets. What if he has spent hours with his daughter before and this is his first minutes of free time. Imo, if this were a birthday party with lots of guests, and he would show little attention to them and instead sit somewhere and played poker, then it will be fair to treat him like that. But since this is a short video, and their family is spending their private time, I think it is wrong to put such tags as "bad parent" on him.

The problem is he already has a limited time due to his football career and other endorsements yet he can’t spare a free time to enjoy his daughter birthday celebration instead he is playing poker. If you are a father with busy schedule, will you still gamble during precious time of your child?

Also he is showing that he is gambling in front of everyone during the actual celebration date. It only show that he didn’t care much about what he is celebrating because he can play anytime he wants but he will only celebrate birthday celebrations 1 time per year.

This is a clear sign of addiction.

Please, a whole lot of other people have done WORSE during their daughter's birthdays, or for any other relatively important event even. And addiction? Really? Does that mean me using my phone during my parents' birthday (don't have a kid yet) means I'm addicted to my phone? A real addict in the first place wouldn't even be in the damn birthday party, my mans there celebrating, singing along with her, I don't think there's really an issue here.

It's just journalists being journalists imo. And twitter people being twitter.

Exactly!!! Many people judge people based on what they are seeing without knowing what the situation is. Does that mean that if someone is seen playing gambling publicly, he or she is addicted to it? or already experiencing addiction? Well, that's not it, but we know people on social media are easy to believe in what they see, and the impact is greater because the person is a celebrity and popular. What do we expect, right? People tend to gossip and spread false and wrong accusations just because they see some pictures and articles online. We know all people, or most of the individuals, experience playing gambling, so what's the big deal? We can judge Neymar if we see that he is doing wrong by gambling and noticing the sudden change because of his addiction to gambling. That's when he deserves the criticism. Anyway, we can't control people's judgement; it's just how scary people jump to conclusions.

But playing when he is celebrating his daughter's birthday is a sign of addiction. If he is just normal player, he will not do it while celebrating his daughter's birthday as he should know when and where to play poker. Not a good example of a father if it true he really did it. The question that comes to my mind is that did he play it naturally or it is just for a video content to make it viral because we all know that his name is not as popular as before when he was still in PSG or Barcelona.
