This type of questions are getting annoying whenever I read them, like seriously, are you like E-Money? Do you know his worth? How hard can it be to understand that Drake and E-Money are rich and they can afford to take risks with higher amount compare to millions of people in the world today?

Am I supposed to feel like, since celebrities are gambling with their hard earned money then gambling must have been a money home and I am the one that's not getting the strategy to success? Through gambling? Are you joking or what?

The thing is, these celebrities might even be promoting that gambling platform indirectly, oh yes, E money is also using the same platform to gamble, let me deposit some money on the platform and also try my luck, see the truth is, this is about me, not E money or Drake, they are both humans like me but by mind, spirit and fate, we can never be the same.

I don't walk in other peoples shadow and I think no one should.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

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.

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.
It could be for marketing purposes because the name of the betting platform is clearly written on it or it might be he wanted to show off. We've this popular saying in my locality which simply says "put your mouth where your money is". It might be that he had bragged about the game with his friends that Arsenal was going to win the game, and to show how serious he was, he had to stake heavily on it. However, I do not welcome the idea of sharing the bet slip on social media, he could have just sent it directly to his friends via PM.


I disliked two things about this gentleman. First, he shared his winning publicly which not only may create problems for him in the long run (that's his problem) but more importantly other gamblers may become sad and jealous when they see other people winning so much money and they are just losing money every day.

Secondly, I see the subject as he went "All - IN" for this bet. Is it so?
Again this gives the wrong message to the gamblers to risk a lot of money or going "all in"  in the bets. If one time he got lucky, does not mean that risking too much money on every bet will be successful for him or anyone gambling.

This shouldn't be any news at all because a lot of socialite and celebrities in countries all over the world also Gamble. I feel that this particular person is trying to advertise the sport bookies more than he is trying to showcase his bet.

If he is advertising the casino, then he must have taken some huge amount of money from the casino for this purpose, other than the amount he won from the bet.
I don't think he has any reason to advertise the casino site for free.


This particular sports bet site is going to have a lot of traffic during the next premiership or football game because a lot of gamblers would create an account with them and make their bets. Some will win but the sports bet sites is going to make a lot of money from it.

Well, there is no harm if people make account on that site and start betting through it but the concern is that betting through this site or any other site should not make any difference. If you are able to make the right prediction and chose the correct bet, you will win the money no matter which site you placed the bet or is there anything special about this site Huh

In this guys own case,  5 m in naira means nothing much to him and as a matter of fact, he can and will make that money through another bet,  and he should be cool with it,  it is only a problem if he has some close member of his family still living in poverty and he wastes such an amount.

This is my worry about some of these rich society people who lavish money around by showing off their present wealth status and yet they have people around them who would benefit from such wealth. Some rich guys today get poor in the future because they didn't invest or didn't channel it in the right place.
That will be the most pathetic thing to discover,  that if any of both immediate or even extended family still leave below the average and he do this that means he is most not care at all,  because we have so many people who fhat amount can become a life changer to them,  and having the possibility to have the financial furtun turn around if they have access to such an amount of money.

Although I don't know anything much about his family and how well to do they are,  but that is least of my concerned anyways as long as he can afford to throw such an amount away on a bet selecting Chelsea to win Asernal.


I saw the name of a betting website in the picture you provided, in this case it may be that he is promoting that betting site through his socialist power. Roll Eyes
E-money has no record of being an ambassador to any gambling site at least none that I know for now,  but even if he is an ambassador staking such an amount in one bet doesn't show any sign of responsible gambling from the socialite

We don't know what his motive was for sharing his bets publicly. Perhaps there was a purpose he was hiding by doing that. And as readers, we can only skip it because we can't follow him to bet big money. It was his money, and he could use it for whatever he wanted. But if he does that and shares it publicly, he may indirectly hurt many people who still cannot make ends meet. And he easily used a lot of money to bet. But that's up to him because it's his money.

The people around him also couldn't do anything other than watch the news. Some people may follow suit, placing the same bet but with a different amount of money. And some people don't react in any way after reading the news. We must be able to filter all the information we get and not immediately follow it if we don't know anything.

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.

His prediction came out fruitfully because he had to give Arsenal win or draw against Chelsea. As long as you've said he is a billionaire, so he has the money to splash. but from what I'm seeing here, is a very high stake and from how the match went, it could have gone south on him if Chelsea had won that match, but  let's cut him some slack because he was able to make a good prediction.

It's actually their personal mindset. I don't really know much about this person. I'm seeing them for the first time.  However, even though his family lives in poverty, in this side he is irresponsible if he does not look after his family. But back to reality, he can legally do whatever he wants with his money.
Anyway on to my personal comment now, you already mentioned he is a socialite, so his social media post may can be influenced people. I saw the name of a betting website in the picture you provided, in this case it may be that he is promoting that betting site through his socialist power. Roll Eyes

The money he won was belong to the gambler and he had the full rights and potential to use the money in the legal way.This money was not belong to the money laundering,he had won from the legal way of betting.So he had the potential to spend on all the resources he want to spend using the big jackpot.Many gamblers poverty was overcome by the gambling winning,many of my friends had got good win by the analytical betting in the gambling.He should use the money in the good way and multiple the same money to many ways.So the gambler income will be high by the multiple of the income to various sources.
When it comes to gambling spending then it is really just truly that non others peoples business on what we should gonna do into our money whether there's some intent behind out of those actions or not. As a billionaire then neither he would really be that doing for some marketing strategy or not then there's no way that we could be able to say considering that it is really that
hard to tell because we dont know if its really just that simply he's really that playing for fun or something that have some different purpose. Spending up tons wont really be that necessary on gambling
even if you do say that you are really that a billionaire but doesnt mean that you would really be that splurging lots of money on gambling on which they could really be still making
use of small amounts on which that they could really be able afford to lose on which there's no issue on how much they would really be using up.

Nothing really special there whether it's a show-off, practicing their bragging rights, entertainment purposes, or just anything else.

Since they are capable of doing that, they can freely just share it anytime they want regardless of the bet amount.

Just take that with a grain of salt. After all, that's their own money and even losing it won't harm their overall finance.

Bet9ja must be so popular in Nigeria that this guy is trusting the platform. And he promoted it whether you see it as obvious as it may look, he still did a good analysis for his bet. This is not new anymore, Drake is doing it all the time when a big match is happening.

We can't really tell whether the socialite is paid to market the bookmaker and it's not in our position anyway to step in and stop him.
It's not accepting BTC nor any other crypto by the way.

Celebrities can be gamblers like anyone else. If they want to share predictions and placed bets with their followers, I don't see any problem on that. It's tgeir right doing so, just like you could do as well, if you wished.

The problem lies on the idolatry the common individual feeds towards the celebrity in question, as if they were above the good and evil, as superior beings. That is what has to be fixed, and not the fact celebrities are sharing their hobbies with the public.

Although it is not impossible but we are yet to see him as an ambassador for the company, so we await such news officially.

I don't know him but when there are posts related to their bets, they usually highlight not the bet but the platform where they're betting.

Especially if they're a known person and you can think of the possible sponsorship that's taken by them or paid post. Anyway, if not, it's just about flexing how much he had bet and probably got the strategy from Drake.

Some dude somewhere made a big bet. I don’t understand why people even care. If he can afford to make big bets why should it be our business? You are only making him more famous when you talk about him and I hate making irrelevant people famous. Thanks to you now i am also making a post about him and contributing to his fame.
Had to laugh a little bit after reading your thought on the thread, and it makes a sense settling with how we promote the actions of these celebrities making them more famous for free while they turn out to be making the money. For us that understands their strategy we are never delighted seeing that we're fairly taking part in that promotion.

He is exactly doing what those youtubers doing. Acting stupid to attract views. I have seen a guy blowing up his tesla with dynamite just because tesla couldn’t repair his car and he got so many views. I am pretty sure he made more money than the cost of his car now.
Very crazy nowadays what social media can make people do out of desperation  to catch attention and every time they do any of those crazy things they usually get the views they had aimed. We are living in a society where people can do anything for fame, the trend is something that as a social media user it doesn't thrill me anymore when I read or watch them.
