Topic: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet - page 6. (Read 680 times)

Well I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with his decision to spend such an amount on a game that he do later lose the bet,  but funny how this rich guys spend money any ways staking such an amount of money on a bet,  while we have tins of homeless kids around his neighbourhood that that amount of money could have provided shelter for in the next 3 years and even pay they school fees,  5 million naira is such a bug amount of money that most if his fan will lash him for taking such action even though it his money and he have the right to spend it the way he likes.

But he should not forget that Nigerians are in a stake of economic crisis that many fine it difficult to even feed,  so flaunting such a bet in the public,  will only increase his risk,  because as a socialite,  millions of people will always have access to information about him and how he wasted such huge amount in gambling

This is actually Normal for celebrities who often want to flaunt their wealth and money to the general public, drake does it, Neymar does and even so many celebrities do this, sometimes it's just them actually wanting to enjoy a spending spree of their money and nothing else. These type of people are not affected by any lose that they may inquire from their bet slip and they are free from addiction and that's why it's okay for them in their gambling habits, if a normal average gambler loses this kind of money then it would be a major issue for him but not same with the exclusive celebs.

I remember there was betja before in the forum but it was gone long time ago.
So yes, I don't know the legitimacy of the bookie that he used here. So be very careful in falling to this trap.
If in case, some bettors here wanted to try on this site. We don't know the reputation of this site as it is not even present in the forum.
Though he is using large sum of money and he has the money, I am still doubtful about the reputation of the site.
If he wins, happy for him but bettors should not follow his footsteps, needs to do their own due diligence.

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.

Weirdly it looks like Drake a little bit, so I guess he's also not using his own money but "fun"(fake) money given by the sportsbook (Bet9ja) he is promoting and he will be paid something even if his betslip is losing at the end. Betting large sums could also be part of his image and branding, it could serve as a way to keep his followers entertained, so it would be a good win-win strategy for him and for the sportsbook finally.

I am what I see in that gambler; if he feels confident about placing a large wager, it is because he believes, as a gambler, that he too wants to place a large wager. And if he places a hefty wager, that is entirely up to him; after all, he is wealthy enough to do so aside from being a celebrity.

So, if that's what he did, I don't see a problem because he was merely acting as a gambler on a casino platform. Whatever decision he makes, if he wins, there is nothing we can do.

Agree on this one on which there are really people who are really that boastful or really likes on trying to show off and there's no indeed wrong on this one because its his money that he had bet on and its none of our business on how much he would really be that be betting on. Its true that showing big or huge numbers could really be imposing some potential risks on which people would really be that
in concern and this is why whenever they do see this kind of publicity then they would really be having worries but there are people who dont really care about safety.
If ever those criminals do know someone whose rich then what they would gonna do? As if its an easy thing to abduct those people or tending to scam or whatsoever bad plans that you are
planning on which we know that it isnt really that something that could do if ever you do have bad plans.

Just let them be on what are the things that they do really want to do since its their money then they do have the full rights on boasting up on how much you had bet on.
They are billionaires or damn rich people and we know that the money you do have then you do have the feel that you could do everything.

This is nothing new, as other top public figures are out there too, throwing in a huge amount of money into gambling. Some of these celebrities stake a huge amount of money into gambling, and I really don't think it's just for fun but for the sake of also making a huge win. OP, you did not mention which team the celebrity gambler bet on, so we can know if he lost his bet or not. I know if he wins that bet, it's really going to be a big amount of cash out for him, which was really the intention of the bet, but if he loses the match, then it's nothing compared to the amount he has lost in other bets.

Most of those guys (the big celebrities) have a huge amount of money to their name, and even the ones they lose in gambling do not have any effect on them financially or otherwise.

that is true, this is why they have no qualms sharing their bet slips in the public. even if it is too much for ordinary people. however, they need to watch out their tax persons because they are also on the look out for proofs esp if they are not diligently paying their taxes to their govt.
just like drake, it seems like they are only playing with few bucks. as you said, it is just all relative. for them, they are indeed just playing few bucks and they are happy with it. whereas, for most ordinary bettors, that's already their retirement savings or money that they can earn in their lifetime

This is how Billionaires think and they didn’t bother to place bet even if they think the team will actually lose the game, they are ready for the risk and they can afford it. Elite people always have the sources to fund this kind of addiction or hobby, as long as they remain responsible and know how to have a good source of income, I don’t think they will be bothered by this losses.

Well, it's his bet and I think betting during live was much more effective considering you have already an idea about who plays and the tempo of the game. I think this public figure should be selective on what they post online considering it will be seen especially by underage individuals and they'll think it's just okay to 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. 

This is just like a normal bet for him and for sure he will not place such bet if he will not be happy with the result. As long as he is capable of doing this, then I don’t see any problem with it even if the game is already live. There are reasons for betting on a live game, probably he feels more excite from this, and seriously we can’t tell the exact reasons for this, he’s rich and we cannot tell them when to bet since they have the freedom for betting regardless of its amount.

Op first of all reduce your image. At least you can use this number . The bettor is showcasing his wealth to the world and not because of the bet. There was no need for him to show his private bet in the social media. There are some times rich people like to do show of wealth. Though everyone has their way of doing things.

And from the dollar rate to the Fiat currency that amount the guy used in the game is equivalent to $5k and the cashout price $4+k so if he cashout then lost will not big as the whole money. And from the I looked at it, the guy odd is 1x2 and if that is the bet then he has loss all.

For me it's fine, I don't see nothing wrong with showing your bet in public. He has every right to do so, he has money. And we are in a different era now, everyone is on social media and flaunting everything they can, including rich personalities and then gambling activity. I think Floyd Mayweather has done this is the past, and he is a self made billionaire.

But for us ordinary gamblers, at least for me, I wouldn't do that. I do not what to attract attentions, specially if you win big because you know that people are going to come after you, we all know what I mean. There are people in this world who are free loaders, even your so called friends. So it's better to be quite at times specially gambling. But for this rich, it doesn't matter, for them the better they flaunt, people are going to be at awe at how much money they got.

If the gambler ready to stake the big amount of the dollars,he is ready to face two things.Either the big win because of the risky try and second one was the entire amount of the loss.This thread was created because he had made the history by the big win,what is your words if he lose the entire money.The loss story of the gambler was moved to the 1/11 of the games.So the gambler should ready to risk in the gambling which help the gambler to become the rich person.This also increase your class in the society,the sports bet was good one for the stocking of big money like this person staking.I had come to know many people in the Nigeria was getting good win in the sports bet mainly on the football by this thread.

To answer you that amount he staked is equivalent to $4k+ which on thos part of the world is a big amount of money although that guy is one of the top men in this country, and he can afford to risk that amount without any disruption to his financial well being,  even as he lost the bet already which bring us to the point that,  we shouldn't be so confident in a team to the point of risking so much that the world will not look at us as waster even though he made that money within seconds bit then losing is losing any ways and no one enjoy it regardless of how much they earn regularly.

E-money have hard his own piece of the pieces just as Drake his e last few weeks back.

I havent seen on that "N" symbol or Naira on those numbers above shown in the image or did i just missed something? If it would really be just that Naira then it wont really be that much of a big amount which it cant really go toe with toe with those bets been done by specially by known gambler such us Drake which splurges out hundred thousands of dollars on a single bet. Even if you are a billionaire which it doesnt mean
that you would really be spending millions of dollars on your gambling bets on which it would really be just that depending if you are really that a gambler or not or simply that could spend up a small amount which he can afford to lose or simply just that enough for him to lose. $4k might really be that small for some people specially on to those billionaires or millionaires who are capable on doing such thing.

I dont know if this would really be just that right on using up that all-in word considering that it is really just that a dust amount unless if this would really be million dollars then it would really be that
a different story but if its not then it would really be that just a small amount if ever this bet would losses but if it do win then the amount would neither be significant or not
basing up whether this one talks about million dollar bet or naira been used but well its their money. Doesnt matter if your a billionaire or not.

Most of these top society guys do these things to bring their social media hype on, just imagine we are discussing him here and that is how they are going to be discussed in other platforms in Nigeria and other countries and that is the purpose because they need to always stay there in the face of the public, that is how they keep getting more popular and popularity means more social circle, contacts, businesses and more wealth but if they stay out of the public they go broke.

So placing a 5m naira bet from him isn't money he would regret and I don't think he is running an advert for the betting company because it would have been in the media that he is affiliated to the company just like it is not a secret with drake and stake.

I have been saying that there is a big difference between the rich and the poor when they put money into gambling, for example in the case of this guy that OP mentioned, I don't know how much money he put in US dollars and I don't know what the value is of his fortune and what are the daily profits of his business, but if we assume that the guy is rich then he can afford to put a lot of money into the game because even if he loses today, as in this case he lost because the game ended in a draw, in a while he will get that money back

But see, it's not as if the guy needs to keep playing to get that money back, the profits from his business allow him to get back the money he lost at the casino. and with that his fortune continues to increase even though he continues to play with a lot of money. This is the difference between rich people when they play, which is why the phrase: only play with money that you can afford to lose. It is a phrase that will always be mandatory to follow. I've seen many rich people putting a lot of money into gambling and they don't get upset by the defeat, on the contrary, after losing, they go to bars to spend it on women and drinks and their lives continue without problems.
