Neymar lost €1m (£900,000) in just an hour of online casino as he streamed it live on his Twitch channel. The Twitter post reads that "Crying at first, he then laughs, remembering it's just a week's pay!" I was very livid reading this and seeing screenshots of his reaction. Because it is very deceitful.
This is a guy who disregards what is the worth of the money he is losing because he earns a lot, we poor and middle-income people will just feel sorry for the amount I find it distasteful, this guy will lose more if he has no remorse in losing a huge amount of money
Imagine a gambling who may have lost thousands of dollars today reading this. Instead of feeling bad or remorseful and looking for a way to change, this may even fuel his addiction the more. Sadly, he won't remember that he is not like Neymar who earns £3.2m-per-month.
If you're a gambler and you have no remorse for losing an amount that is considered a fortune to the majority you have a problem with gambling and your value, celebrities like this eventually feel sorry later when they come to a point that they cannot earn enough to sustain their gambling style.
These celebrities and public figures should be fined for trying to glorify gambling without stating the negative aspects when it is over done.
We're living in a free world and it's their money but it's good that if we have something like that, they treat losing a fortune as a form of entertainment.
