What's the point of this bet

[Chibit01]

I saw this post on Facebook which I belive its 💯% a promotional post from the celebrity since he's stake ambassador but few things don't seat straight with me.



Things don't sit right with me

When one game is for Morocco to win and the other for France to win, profit can only be made if Morocco wins. Even if France wins, the potential amount can't cover both stakes, so what's the point of such a betting choice?

Another thing here again is the date on which the bet was placed for France to win: "Friday 10, 2026", which is tomorrow, and why the game in question is today. Does that show poorly done editing, or is it me overthinking it?

This celebrities should not be followed blindly because majority of them might not be practicing what they preach.

France the has highest probability to win the match, that is the reason the odd is low. If I should bet on the team that would win, I will bet on France regardless of the lower odd.

France versus Morocco will begin in 12 minutes to this time. Your time zone may be different, but it is just few minutes away.

We shouldn't compare ourselves to celebrity gamblers because they have enough money to cover up for this in case they even end up losing, it will not hurt them as you can see from the amount being stake, straight winning market option is what some gamblers can pick for games like this but I will rather decided to use total goals score by both team with over 2.5 score prediction than to place a direct meaning for any of them, all the best to both gamblers and let's see who turns a winner.

The date depends on where the bettor is come from and that's automatically detected by the bookies. And that's why it's different for both slips because they're probably like from different locations.

It's not a biggie.

This celebrities should not be followed blindly because majority of them might not be practicing what they preach.

Just don't them seriously because they're paid to bet and the money they're betting is likely sponsored by the casino they advertise.

[BABY SHOES]

Different dates maybe it's just a different time zone, don't be strange this is just some kind of promotion done by their ambassador even though France won it didn't cover the losses still they were profitable because it was paid.

Whoever bet on this is stupid, right? Because the prediction of more people choose is France who will win it, while the chances of Morocco winning in this match are small.

I also saw the post on social media, but it seems you didn't understand the two bets. The guy putting on glasses is Evra, he staked France to win with $15,000 while Davido staked Morocco to win with $21,000.

Another thing here again is the date on which the bet was placed for France to win: "Friday 10, 2026", which is tomorrow, and why the game in question is today. Does that show poorly done editing, or is it me overthinking it?

The date differs according to time zones which is why the date for the Evra's bet shows 10th.
Of course, anyone who is following celebrities to stake huge bets might end up regretting because these are people that are gambling for fun even though most of their bets are for promotional purposes and not actually real bets since they are ambassadors of the casino.

Whoever bet on this is stupid, right? Because the prediction of more people choose is France who will win it, while the chances of Morocco winning in this match are small.

The OP failed to understand that the two bets were made by the two celebrities in the picture.

Exactly, they don't use their personal money, the casinos are looking for more customers to gambler, maybe the business is not going as expected and before you know it most bettors will be competing with the amount these celebrities have staked without knowing the the money they are seeing the is not real but just to promote their company that is why they use popular celebrities to attract customers, and this is how new gamblers and those gambling for money falls into this trap.

France the has highest probability to win the match, that is the reason the odd is low. If I should bet on the team that would win, I will bet on France regardless of the lower odd.

Me on the other hand will go for Morocco to win,
You know saying that France will win is a good gamble but I feel it's the same for Morocco as well, France might be filled with good players but at the same time I feel they are overated.
And since it's a gamble the both teams are good I will go for Morocco with 5 odds and rather loose the money than to go very little profits which might probably cut if France is not careful, their last match was won as a result of a penalty so it's not that they are guaranteed to win against a strong team like Morocco

They might not be paying them instantly to bet on the game, but the fee that they are being paid for their ambassadorial duties covers it all. Davido a Nigerian artist in the picture, have a contract with Stake that is up to $18m, which all these little stakes he places on the game, no matter how it turns out, won’t affect him, just like we have the like of Drake running his own betting.

Another thing is that the match can end draw. People have different thinking, all that is most important is to use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to bet on it so that if the bet is lost, there will be no financial problem.

The match has started already and they are at the 20th minutes of no goal.

@OP, maybe this is an edit or not, I can not prove that but I know that the first light skin man on the left is  Patrice Evra a formal football player and he is from Senegal, while the man on the right is a popular Nigerian singer, speaking of the time difference, Senegal and Nigeria have the same time since they use the West Africa time but if actually this their post is real, it could be that Evra must have placed his bet from a different location (not Senegal) and so the casinos recorded the time according to the time zone there.

According to the bet slip, what I can see is that where ever Evra was when he made that bet, they have already crossed to July 10th and I also observe that he placed his bet late because the odd is now small compare to when the other person placed his bet.

[Joy- maker]

These are celebrities; therefore, nobody should blindly follow them by betting with an amount of money that you can't comfortably afford to lose because they have nothing to lose. They can make back the money they lose to gambling within an hour or so, and outside that they are very rich, so nothing shakes them, but if you lose an amount, you can't comfortably afford to you will feel it, therefor bet with what you can afford to lose for your own sanity.

[SUPERSAIAN]

You shouldn't blindly believe celebrities or X influencers. They're just doing promotions it's not even their own money. If it were their own money, they wouldn't make such a bet.

I understand you choosing Morocco to make more profit, and also because Morocco is a really good team and they can do something against a strong team like France, so it's worth a try. Good luck. I also want Morocco to win and France to lose, at least.

[ryzaadit]

Its just marketing post.

Time are different, each of user have their own local time zone. Not really matter for the time, you have the bet ID you can check by your self. So should be not a problem.

Its common for casino to share a big bet.

[Merit.s]

If I can understand the message from the picture. It's shows that the bet wasn't placed by the same person but by two different people in different locations. Which means that they bet on different team to win the game.

If I'm right, the picture is advertising Stake in disguise because both gamblers used Stake. However, Stake is a popular casino used by these celebrities.

That's exactly what could have played out here and it's just about location and time zone from where and when these respective celebs made their bets. Op just wanted to clarify his/her curiosity and I think most of the replies already made to his questions should be enough to clear his confusion. Yes, we can't trust all what celebrity influencer say or do to be the reality of things but not all of them fake things like this since they have the money to risk.

When one game is for Morocco to win and the other for France to win, profit can only be made if Morocco wins. Even if France wins, the potential amount can't cover both stakes, so what's the point of such a betting choice?

It is called hedging, have you never heard about it? It is time to get some education, because it seems to me that most gamblers on this forum are 3rd world poor plebs that do not know anything at all about gambling and are just playing with the hope of winning it big one day -- which is never going to happen. If the initial idea was to bet on Morocco, the risk is 21k for a potential payout of almost 6 times that. If it loses, then you are down 21k. To minimize the cost of this, he risked another 15k on France. Now, if Morocco loses then he will only be down 12k instead of 21k. Hedging works when done right, but of course it introduces new complexities and inefficiencies and is not for everyone.

Another thing here again is the date on which the bet was placed for France to win: "Friday 10, 2026", which is tomorrow, and why the game in question is today. Does that show poorly done editing, or is it me overthinking it?

Anyway, besides the explanation it seems dubious at best. This could be another example of deceptive marketing and it is not going to stop until all involved parties start getting hefty fines and prison time for such bullshit. It should not be allowed to post any kind of screenshots of bets if they can't be verified .

The business is doing as usual but that's a typical day for the gambling community to see ambassadors do their jobs.

They actually get paid for any exposure that they do and that's why they're doing it for the sake of clout.

And with the figure that you've said compared to the amount that's shown on their betting slip is nothing compared to what they've signed to them.

This explains it all as it has satisfied my curiosity. Since the post was found on the page of the Nigerian celebrity, I never gave it a second thought that the next dude could have also placed the other bet on his side, which made me question the purpose of that decision.
