Topic: Neymar being addicted to online poker - page 2. (Read 981 times)

when I saw the video I thought "Well he probably had a tournament still going on"
Or I thought
it could really be a masked advertisement for the poker house "affiliated" with him
because  continuing to play poker during the daughter's birthday is not the best thing... surely there is a "logic" explanation.
What is certain at  first glance it seems a terrible self-image not exactly the best thing.
The same was realized in other situation was completely another impact.

I agree with you that this looks really strange, playing poker during the birthday party of your daughter. He is a famous person so there is much more attention to everything he does than for the average person. When I look at my family birthday parties it's quite common to see at least somebody on the phone, even though we are not gambling at the time. At least he is only gambling online and not skipping his daughter's birthday by visiting a physical casino. From what I heard is that Neymar is trying to go professional in poker after his football career. He is already rich and famous, so going into poker for that doesn't seem like the motivation, he probably is really interested in the game itself. It's hard to say that he is really addicted to gambling by one video alone. If this happens on a regular basis than I would agree, but here there could be also other reasons. For example, I don't know if he is playing a cash or a tournament on his phone. When it comes to poker tournaments they can last a pretty long time. With a cash game he could just stop playing and continue after the birthday party without any problems. But maybe he started a tournament a couple of hours earlier and didn't expect to go so deep. Once you get close to the bubble, poker tournaments become really slow as the majority of players will only play the best possible hands. I have been in the situation where I thought I would only play poker for 1-2 hours, only to end up playing for 5 hours as I managed to almost win the tournament.

This is the main thing and what most needs to be highlighted, Ney is a famous player, and apart from all that he receives a huge amount of money from Al HIlal and that Nisiqueira has not been able to show what his football is like due to his injuries, so with 1/4 of your salary you want to spend in the casino, it is not something that affects you, because it is a person who has a lot of money, in the case of other people, for example, like me, who does not have anything similar to what he earns This player because he has to play very carefully, with a lot of decision, and taking great care of the money, when I see that there are people who bet more than $100usd it is already worth it. of my admiration, so this is something that I see a lot about this, but in the case of people who have little money and start inventing, because if a player like him can fall into addiction, I really doubt it.

I cannot validate what you expressed in this thread, especially regarding addiction. Maybe, I should research it to confirm that this Brazilian superstar really likes gambling. Or, he just did it on a whim and on purpose. Or maybe, there is something else that we don't really know. That's why, I don't dare to judge people only in the news media. The problem is, we don't really know what actually happened in the screenshot moment. but because Neymar was focused on something he was paying attention to, and coincidentally it was an online poker type game. A wave of responses from the public flowed to him with various assumptions, speculations, the most strengthening of which was that Neymar was written in the news as liking this type of online poker game. However, whether addiction is true or not, we don't know for sure. After all, if he really likes something he likes it, let alone gambling.

There is nothing wrong with that, after all, he is an adult man who knows all the risks. Plus, he is supported by his abundant financial condition. Even though he doesn't do his job in the sense of playing football, because he is injured, Neymar still gets his salary and he can do what he likes without having to harm anyone. the thing is, it's his business and what he likes. Apart from that, Neymar is just like us. What is different is that he is a famous person and has abundant finances. When it comes to gambling there is no difference, we play according to our respective portions. but I agree with the last point you said, I will quote it "Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!"

You havent answered any of my questions.

I am sure that his daughter wont even remember her firs birthday, not to mention her half birthday or father gambling during it. Kids at 6 month dont even talk properly, and you say that "she will learn about gambling".

You know, we scold Neymar for gambling during this half birthday, but there are kids whos father is not even present at their birthdays or in the lives at all. That is the bigger problem. But Neymar, missing some minutes of celebration due to being busy with mobile, that is nothing in comparison.

This is the problem with people who have a huge budget with gambling- they tend to be reckless with their expenditures to the point that it can blindly lead them to financial distraught if done excessively.

I find it somehow unfortunate that he seems to gamble during a special occasion, which is his daughter's birthday. I mean, he can gamble at any time that he wants but I just hope he could have chosen a different time to play.

Again, we have seen multiple posts on how gambling addiction can change a persons life in an instant and this is just one of the living proof on how it can slowly cripple away being rational. I just hope that Neymar's addiction be lessened as we do not want to see another life being wasted away due to excessive addiction from gambling.

I don't know in this case I will not say whether he will be addicted or not in the gambling game that is done because when talking about gambling problems actually it is not a new thing for Neymar even on several occasions in his spare time he can even livestream for gambling so it is not something strange for him.

But when talking about the problem of addiction it is also a little difficult to say because after all he has until now been a professional athlete remains a busy person so let alone gambling because sometimes gathering with family is difficult so that it cannot be said to be an addiction if only this video is used as evidence.

But on the other hand when an athlete plays gambling, it is actually not a taboo because I think almost everyone who is involved in the problem of the match must have temptation and we know that Tonali's problem occurred because of gambling too so gambling must be done it just depends on how they hide their actions so as not to be considered someone bad.

Addiction? I can't deduce such a thing from what I see here. Anyone could be caught in a moment, but that doesn't mean that is what the person is really is. Also, if some scenarios are not thoroughly investigated, any pictures, videos and attached captions may not do the right justification to what really transpired, we are in the technological age where people are now chasing clouts.

Besides, I am not a follower of Neymar, he might have a lot going on in his life that is addictive and I must say that money is not everything. He must have found the financial freedom but he surely still needs happniess, and might have found some hobbies and happiness somewhere. Since he has the money and has it in abundance is enough to cover it. So, he is human and being rich doesn't exclude anyone from an addiction, it is all about how the person now controls it as what you do not control will control you.

This is a showing how addiction can ruin even the best days of our life , How would his daughter feel after learning this that instead of giving His full time at that very special moment yet he is there playing gambling.

Neymar born from extremely poor parents, when he able to play for Barcelona and get paid well, Neymar can solve the money problems in his family, probably @OP meant that.

It's true there are many successful Brazilian players had a miserable life when they already old, perhaps Neymar will become one of them considering he's not focus on football career anymore, like to going for party, and didn't have any business.

Hope you have your answers

Have you paid a lot of attention to the details of this case, and do you have a lot of experience and knowledge about the kids? What is that birthday you are talking about? That little baby turned 6 months only, and this is just a tiny achievement in her and their lives. Do you celebrate such "half birthdays"? Or maybe you celebrate end of each month of your life? And do you really believe that this 6 month old child is going to remember that one day? If yes, then what did you get for your first birthday?

Why do you think that he "solved his money problems"? He might be a multimillionaire, but I wonder what will happen after the end of his football career, when he won't get absurd amounts of money from Saudi Arabian football clubs or big sponsorship deals.
I'm sure that his wife(or girlfriend, I don't know if he's married) will divorce him and take away half of his wealth. His gambling addiction won't stop soon and he might spend most of his millions on the casinos. Many big football players end up going bankrupt after their careers end, due to bad financial decisions.

As far as I know, Neymar really likes playing poker, even since he was at PSG he really likes Poker and always doesn't miss the game he plays wherever he goes. This shows that he has a gambling addiction that he can't even stop while enjoying important moments with his family. The incident experienced by Neymar can indeed be used as a life lesson for us that we should not prioritize personal pleasure without thinking about family happiness, moments like this are very valuable and cannot be repeated when the children are older, so enjoy your time with your family and take advantage of the pleasure of gambling only at your free time.

I am also a gambler but I am not too fanatical about gambling. I always have fun moments with my family. Even when I am busy doing work on this forum. I also always set aside time with my family because I know that time with family is the most valuable time we only have time is short in this world if we lose precious moments someday in old age we will regret and miss them.

Yeah I guess you are right because so many people in his shoes would have obviously done way more worse than he has already done and maintaining a level when gambling is all that matters, one might be thinking maybe it's when you have the money then you don't think about these things but the answer is a big NO NO because you can be a rich guy and still be a very crazy gambler too. Sometimes gambling infact all the time is not all about the availability of money but how cool are you when you get the losing spree.

I agree with you, Neymar is a human being like the rest of us, with his weaknesses and mistakes. Gambling is serious matter, no matter who does it. Playing in front of children, especially on special occasions like birthdays, is not a good role model for the younger generation. Children learn from the actions of the adults around them, and inappropriate behavior can negatively impact their development.

I also hope Neymar finds the help he needs to overcome his gambling problem. Gambling addiction can have serious consequences, especially when a person spends a lot of money to satisfy their gambling cravings. Regardless of our wealth or social status, taking care of our mental and emotional health is important for all of us.

Neymar is a human being just like everyone who like casino games and gamble when they like, he just happen to have fame and a celebrity to many and also a brand ambassador to many products but I see him as a normal person and he really need help. I don't understand why a father will be gambling right in front a child that is doing birthday, that's very wrong and the timing is wrong too. Doing that beside a minor will make her learn the same thing the father is doing and remember that children knows everything parents do around them and now that we are in computer age with androids phones everywhere.

I just hope he doesn't go broke because he loves women and party and now another addiction of gambling, this is the fastest way to finish his life investment but since Saudi Arabia are given then bunch of money without doing anything, that's understandable.

Considering he has been not playing football for a long time, and considering he gets injured all the time, and he has insane amount of money for not even playing, I think he needed something that he could do  on his free time. He can't just sit at home watching tv all day, he needed a hobby.

This could be the reason why he is so interested in poker, and I believe that considering the situation he is in right now, that could lead to a level where we could call him addicted as well. What else could he do for hours every day. I mean if you gave me 100+ million dollars, and then tell me to spend my time anyway I want, I would probably go mad as well. He is at least keeping it in check, playing poker is not that bad, he could have been doing much worse, so this seems okay.

There is a tiny chance he indeed made all of this on purpose, that is true, but it is unlikely, one would need to have more context on what happened, in order to have a more accurate opinion on his intentions.
You know, in the way I see it, there is a good reason why when people gather to play poker, they mostly do it in man caves or clubs where people is not expected to take children to. You have probably noticed as well, how within the popular culture of the United States, the men get together in a very comfortable place, intended to be only for adults, no kids. It is not only about the fact children could be annoying and kill the mood of the card play, but it is also about responsible parents being aware their children are not to be exposed to gambling while they are not in proper age to engage in poker (in this case).
Would you like to have some teen complaining around or some toddler crying while you try to focus on your hand while gambling against your friends? I doubt it.

Neymar has been gambling ever since. I thought people are just creating some speculation without basis, but when  search about his gambling addiction, I came across this article - https://www.ladbible.com/sport/neymar-reaction-gambling-loss-672659-20230330.. and this was published on Mar 30, 2023 stating these words.


That's a lot of money but he is rich with a net worth of $250 million.... but when addiction will consume him, he'll be bankrupt in the future.
