We all have different opinions on games and he have clearly showed us his own view of the game but what I don’t understand is why he would take such risk and stake on Arsenal to win despite watching how terrible Arsenal was in the first half, their entire midfield bullied and overshadowed by South American combo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo who also got help from Conor Gallagher. Chelsea’s midfield was rock solid throughout the game which was why it was difficult for Arsenal to penetrate them and their most creative midfielder Odegaard was lost throughout the game. Merely seeing Arsenal’s performance in the first should have made him know he was making a wrong decision and winning Chelsea at stamford bridge will be a difficult task.

In my opinion Arsenal was even lucky to have draw the game and had it been Chelsea converted their chances it would’ve been a different story.

I think wealthy people usually have the notion that bigger risks brings bigger rewards if successful so they often go for endeavors with bigger risks. I think this is very similar to how Drake picks his games at stake. I believe that even though they lose several bet slips, one win can cover many of their losses. Risks is an appetizer for them afaik.
It is what it is regardless and we have to accept that fact,  if you have such money at your disposal you will as well risk it considering the potential winning that await you if you predict rightly,  although gambling is highly risky and avoidance of taking too much risk that you can't afford to bear is far better than any other thing and as a matter of fact you have to act inline with your availability of resource to risk with it.

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.

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.
-cut-

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.
All in meaning that 5 million is all he got or is that just rather big pocket money to him that he affords to lose? Because with super rich people, it's the whole another ball game.
Also since he is a unknown socialite to me, i am thinking this is surely a calculated move to get more followers. For some reason people want to follow and listen to other people who have lots of money. I am guessing they are thinking they could learn something or some of it would rub off to them.

Sadly for every successful rich people there are thousands of poor people who are using same exact methods, but as it's a zero sum game, everyone can't be as lucky, and the lucky one could even be giving horrible tips.

All I can say is that there are a lot of people who have a chance to use their money for other things but instead want for them to benefit themselves and if that's what they want to do, there's nothing wrong with it.

If he can afford it then just go. I am amazed to see that they are flaunting it so much that it makes it attractive to follow it or something.  Maybe he is bored and wants to be entertained with money.

He just staked his ‘feeling’ and showing it to audiences won’t determine whether it is a winning or losing bet other than the result itself. Aside from him, for sure there are other bettors in contrast to his, with a high if not higher bet. With regards to the amount, it is for is big however it is under his tolerance of losing for sure unless he is that foolish to go all out. I doubt it is an “all out bet” on his end. Also his act of showing it might be his way to encourage others to bet as well on his side; just to lessen his worries; if he lose then others as well would do so.
I thinks it’s pretty obnoxious when big time celebrities, athletes, rich billionaires, socialites etc brag about how much money they are throwing down on some of these bets. Especially someone living in an extremely impoverished nation where their money could have gone to much better causes. I am not a fan of this stuff

It's to impress people around him. People with enemies are doing this stuff all the time in order to make their enemies aware that they aren't just someone to mess with. They have to make it known to his enemies that he has money to waste.

Celebrities often want to show off. Having an expensive wheel is like showing success. They gotta make it known because success invites success and they could get endorsements and so on. Showing off that he could bet a huge amount attracts fellow high rollers.
Likewise with Drake’s bet. They are just confident with their bet the same as with how we believe on our bets; they just have a bigger margin which gives emphasize to their ‘gut feeling’. And to those who are thinking that bets of such means they know the result, they could simply get killed from spilling such information so I doubt.

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.

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.

I myself do not blame gambling activities, because it is the right of everyone, the problem in my opinion here is because he is a public figure in the country of Nigeria and uploads it to social media, which surely people will follow and try what he is doing, I mean even if he wants to gamble to bet on a soccer match, then hide his gambling.

What he did in my view was like advertising gambling and the site of the site he bet, such as inviting ordinary people to make a bet on the place he made a bet, this had a behavior of behaviors such as gambling site advertisements. Even from what he did it could have an impact on the child who saw him and follow what the socialite did.

The rest I agree with your opinion that it's better to use the money for more useful things, maybe for their fellow there who need help like food or anything to help the Nigerian people, I think it's far more useful than showing off the number of bets that may contain a lot of contraception .

A real bettor is less likely want to publishing the casino he bet because there's no point for doing that...

There is a sense in this but it is not likely to be that he had a contract of such with them because the media would have been agog with the news. He probably didn't see any reason for that or didn't occur to him to make their identify secret but whichever way he does it, he couldn't have played in any other betting company in Nigeria because that is the biggest, most popular and trusted with very big fan base. So Nigerians would have guessed rightly where he bet from. I mean, he couldn't have put only his picture without a little bit of disclosure that will make gamblers assume the company he played it from.

A socialite in Nigeria that's why he joined all the bets on this game also maybe he has a lot of money and he's a billionaire that's why he added all the bets. If there is a risk of losing then there will be no effect on it for any trader doing the same business for years can lead to boredom but in a casino environment he can get a taste of the novelty of different games every day so they indulge in big bets. The casino atmosphere can be an escape from all the worries of the world for some. Sometimes it is seen that winning continuously becomes the personality of some. But it is not possible for ordinary people because of successful usage it is not possible for an ordinary gambler to win continuously.
He is a billionaire and have several businesses. Loosing N5,000,000 is an easy thing for him. The only problem is rust a lot of his followers on social media will follow him to stake the game even outrageous amounts.
That's why it's always advise to gamble responsibly, it's very irresponsible to make heavy stakes that will become a problem to you if you eventually loose the game, because a socialite who is very well to do made a heavy stake on a particular game doesn't mean his or her stake can influence the possible outcome of such game, it only their own prediction, you as an experience gambler should be able to make your own pick regardless.

It's very important we are wise enough to get all this things right, like you rightly stated, he is a billionaire and wouldn't feel hurt in any for loosing 5milion naira, it cam be compared to some who has as much as $1million and looses $10 he wouldn't even have a second taught about it rather he will laugh over it and get entertainment from it, but for you who has just $100 and staking $60 because you see a socialite made a heavy stake, will be such a very foolish decision because you are staking 60% of your wallet while he is staking probably 0.05% of his wallet, see the difference, stake responsibly.

I do not see this as anything new. There are lots of celebrities out there who gamble and decide to keep it a secret. #5,000,000 is just a change to him, and possibly he is just doing it for fun to entertain his followers or to raise a topic of discussion via his social media handle, just as a poster has said earlier. Although I have never heard or seen anywhere that he was made a brand ambassador, he is already a billionaire, and this he has done can influence his millions of followers, precisely those into gambling, to go bet with Bet9ja. I would say this is an indirect promotion for Bet9a. You know, sometimes celebrities and influencers have a way of calling attention to themselves, attracting a brand to partner with them. If what the celebrity did has a side effect on their brand, be it a positive or negative effect, they would go into having a deal with the celebrity as they have a large number of followers to benefit from. This is just the way celebrities shoot their shots.

All I would say about this is that gambling is all about affordability. It doesn't matter who you are and where you come from, as long as you have the money and the desire to gamble, you can do it without any regrets or anything since the money you are spending on it is what you can afford to lose and you won't have any issues in your personal life even if you lose that bet. So, these celebrities making high bets and losing them aren't really getting into much trouble because they can afford to do that.

This can be a problem for someone who can't afford to lose a lot of money but they have still made a bet with a very large amount which if they lose, they will get in trouble in their personal life which isn't good. So, when someone wants to gamble, they should know that they can lose, and they should only do it if they can afford to do it, and their bet sizes should be based on the capacity of their available bankroll.

I think is high time all these big guys stop putting the shit over our f faces because they are not the only ones leaving the life, why should we care anyways when we are not his direct clique,  many of us do this thing all the time at our various category and level and we don't talk about it that much and that is cool with us all, but in as much as the saying goes you have to be smart enough to handle your risk, and I am sure the so-called billionaire can weight his risks also, because in a country where the is a high rate of poverty, it becomes risky to display such flamboyant spending, Chelsea is a club to bet on but then one way or the other is becoming clear to us that in gambling, you can never have a sure bet.

Honestly that's like someone who isn't all that Rick betting $100 on a game.  It's all relative.  And for rich people they can afford to have these losses and move on like nothing happened.  It just seems like a lot to the average person because that is life changing money.  But to a billionaire they will make that money back on interest in one of theor investments in a week. 
most of these games that we see the rich playing with and earning good money from it. It is all about taking risk and if we don't we might not be able to make any good profits.  If we can be more confident about the our bets, this will make us to have a better winnings since we are not too scared of losing. There are many bets I have gambled on without any atom of fear and had given me a good profits while those games I thought would give me a good profits never see the lime light. Whether we are a skilled gambler or not, we need to be confident our any bets we want to gamble on.

But for them betting a million is like me betting $100. Confidence aside it's the same thing in terms of what it impacts in theor life.  Losing $100 won't do much in terms of detrimental my lifestyle.  Same for them losing that million doesn't really impact their life.  So it's not about taking chances it's about willing to lose something that doesn't really impact your life win or lose.

These celebrities are the people who actually gamble for entertainment because they stake what they can afford to loose and they don't get emotional when they loose such they only move on because they weren't play to get rich as they are rich already they only play to get entertained and if it turns out a win, they get even richer, so it's important we learn how these celebrities gamble and do same at our level so we don't end up in tears if it turns out against us.

This is the best comment I have read here.
These guys more for "ego" based reasons rather than for hustle like regular gamblers do. They want to be able to brag to their friends how much they bet on a match, how much they won or how much they lost. In fact, if they lose that money the better for them as they may see themselves on the same level with Drake. Both of them are musical artists.
I predict that we are going to see more of these celebrities share with the internet their bet slips and how much they staked. It's going to be a trend very soon.

Please I am not judging them. It is their money and they can do with it as they please.

He's a billionaire, so I'm pretty sure that ticket he shared hasn't been edited, LOL.

Honestly, I don't see why this news is such a big deal. Any billionaire could throw around huge sums of money on bets, and we shouldn't be too shocked by that. They're on a whole different level from us regular people. Maybe one day, if we become billionaires, we'll do the same and consider ourselves celebrities in the gambling world.

I'm curious if this guy who won his bet would also share a losing bet. I mean, Drake lost a hefty chunk of change when he bet on Paul to KO his opponent, and the whole world knew about it. So what's the deal here?
