Topic: Will you be influenced by your favourite celebrity? - page 8. (Read 2251 times)

A celebrity is just a regular guy who is more famous than I am, why should I have believed his predictions because he said so? I am wagering with my own money, not any free money, it would be silly for me to do so. These are not the regular types of minor leagues or matches one will assume he may fix since the amount he bet is eye-catching, this is Premier League we are talking about and also one of the greatest Spanish Leagues(El Clasico), so anything you don't expect may happen.

Arsenal was a sure bet that they would win, if not for the technical problems they encountered, they would have defeated Leeds United more by a large margin of goals but why bet on El Clasico and think Barcelona is going to win when Real Madrid is also prepared and even the records show that Madrid has the highest winnings? Maybe the influence of a fan affected him and waste money.

OP, I have watched all Drake's streaming sessions on Stake.com and he has always lost all of his bankroll at the end. The Millions he is losing ...is but a drop in an ocean of the money he is making from his career. (Like you setting aside say 1% of your Net income for gambling as an entertainment budget) 

Drake just love to repeat the same pattern of numbers in Roulette and he stays on those patterns, even after a lot of losses. (His favorite number looks to be 11)

I would not follow his example, because he has millions to waste on gambling ....but you might find some useful strategies on Youtube that might help you to extend your playing time. 

Almost all of those who responded to this topic do not want to be influenced by a celebrity when it comes to their own money to be used for gambling. And I don't think celebrities care about us gamblers on gambling platforms
of cryptocurrency.

And you're right dude unless we also like the games he's promoting. But even so, at the end of the day, it's still our money that we will lose, not a celebrity.

I play gambling so yes. Ill be glad to join my idol on his game, it is like another way of showing a support. I am not that good enough when it comes to sportsbetting and I mostly follow my friends' bets. If I can follow them then why not this one?

When drake is more superior to them. This isn't the first time drake posted a bet slip, and his last game were also a win. That is why many people likes to ride some of his bets, thinking that drake already have a good experience on this game. He also risk huge amount of money, which can be a sign that he is confident with his picks. Unfortunately, the recent game is a loss but we can just assume that it's part of gambling. Not all times we can be a winner but we can always try again next time.

not in me mate , yeah i have idols but i know how to distance myself from losing if i will just follow them , and besides we have different interests at all and also maybe different teams?

but I would love seeing them bet together because this will inspire me into betting and playing more.

Personally, I won't be influenced that easily by my favorite celebrity to try something new or even to try some things I'm interested with. I will still conduct a background check to know if it's worth the shot before I actually engage to it. The celebrity's influence might make me curious, but it won't suffice. I'll still have to do my thing which is gather information about it and see if it will be worth my time and money.

When it comes to gambling, a person must have a credible personality first before he'll gain my attention. Having a good reputation and credibility of the endorser about gambling can make someone's confidence boost to try it too. If someone is known to have a good reputation as a celebrity and a great record of being a responsible gambler, it might be a positive sign. Because you will be curious why that person is endorsing a certain gambling website. If someone as good as he is, is supporting and working for that casino site, then the reliability of the casino must be good. That will be the analogy of the people especially the fans.

Perhaps some bandwagons would join too, but that would be up to them. Afterall, there are people who are easily impacted by small things. Some prefer to join the hype and some prefer to support all the way through their liked personality.

Some  people are easily influenced when someone they like deoes anything. I am not in this category. I am hardly influenced and I don't like or admire celebrities easily. But the main point of Drake posting his gambling slip is for the fans to know that he gambles with stake and not to tell his fans to play the exact options that he chosed.

no really, sometimes not all of my favorite celebrities that I follow on social media like gambling games and hardly ever see them posting what games they play or maybe it's just me who doesn't follow a celebrity gambler, if there really is maybe there are only a few who post that even though I will not be affected by what they play, there are 2 goals of many people who play gambling games, namely to make money and there are also those who want to play just for fun, I prefer to have fun filling my free time to playing gambling and not being influenced by the people around or the celebrities I follow

I am sort of weak when it comes to influencers honestly. I even bought computer system from website promoted by streamer on Twitch. Bad memories indeed... Anyways I think I would be influenced if I saw person I saw gambling. Like football player, streamer or actor/actress etc. But it wouldn't make me play same game. I would be more like using the service. Wondering how it works. But I would play my own thing.

IMO. in this case it looks like the celebrity is not in the middle of promoting casino STAKE.
coincidentally, he made a football bet on the Stake casino site. however, as you said it will depend on the game he is playing.  however, what he featured was football betting where he picked one of the best matches of La Liga and Premier League. meaning the choice he makes will not directly affect his fans, unless we favorite the same team, with the one he favors betting on.

if the person who gave the reference of choice was an expert in the field, I am sure it would have a considerable influence on gamblers.

Never, because I don't think that's a good way to get a win in gambling even though when betting based on my own analysis doesn't guarantee that I will win but at least it won't make me blame others for the failures I get.

Many people bets because they are influenced by famous people, usually they will follow their social media accounts to stay updated but that shouldn't be done because I think this method will make us even lazier to get knowledge, especially in sports because usually, bettors will look for as much information as possible before placing a bet to find out the possibilities that occur in the match.

I do not really care about something like this, I like what I like and I am not going to let myself be influenced just because a famous person prefers another game.

However it is obvious that I am part of a minority as if that was not the case then stake will not pay someone like Drake so much money and make him one of his sponsors, however I will be honest when I say I do not understand why that is the case, as even if someone admired Drake for his music that has nothing to do with his gambling abilities.

I will not be influenced by what my favorite Celebrity does because not everything he does can have a good effect on me, especially if it is gambling.
I'm just worried that if I get influenced and follow what he does, I could spend a lot of money and not know if I will win or lose.
But maybe if my favorite Celebrity plays a slot game, I will try to play it but of course, I will not play for big money.
But other than that game, I can only watch him and if he wins, I can only envy seeing him earn a lot of money from that gambling game.

OP one can follow anyone, see what they do, in fact there are users in this forum that in the sports (bet) field one could follow them, because they really have successes, but I would not follow them in their bets for the simple fact that they are good or that I becomes a "fan" or follower of a certain expert(*) (spreading the idea to anyone), that includes of course any big bet of any celebrity including Drake, that is, the final decision always has to be yours, anyway the fun of betting is that one has the power of decision and that's the fun of it, if you're not able to make your own betting decisions, it's better to entertain yourself with something else, maybe just listen to Drake's music.  

No, I have my own choice on what games to play and where casinos to gamble. But it depends if we have the same interest or I also play that particular game. I have celebrity crushes too but not to the point that I follow everything they do or use the products that they advertise.

Probably many people are influenced by their idols and this is the cons if it's about gambling. Because if you're a fan who dont gamble at all but wants to follow your celebrity idols then you might be tempted to try playing the same game. But if things didnt turn out well, it can lead to gambling problem and often it's about the losses.

Gambling is way different to the others since it requires some money in order to do so that has a risk of becoming a habit in the long run. And who in their right mind to just randomly bet something just because they like their celebrity that doesn't mean it's a win-win to them also. It's just a newbie style of doing something like that without doing a proper research that requires a handful of skills plus and experience.

That fan might be obsessed with their favorite celebrity and it doesn't look good. If I were them I would choose what's best for me since our whole life don't need to be centered around them.

Things are also different when it comes to gambling. People can follow that celebrity in those you mentioned examples but here in gambling, or specifically sports betting, we should know what we are doing clearly and not just follow anyone's pick even if it will come from our personal favorite.

It's difficult to imagine for me that some will put money on sports betting and they don't even know if their respective bets are good since they just followed it.

It's like them trying to 'leave a mark' on people's minds by using celebrities and taking advantage of their fame. It's not really something that 's new per se, but people often idolize celebrities so much that whatever they do are copied by the fans. Kinda like worshipping celebrities just because they think their idols look cool when doing X and they think that also applies to them. Obsession is scary, and it's a real thing which leads to a lot of devastating effects to those fans who do not have their own decision when it comes to crucial things.

Imagine if it happens widely in the gambling scene, good lord.

I would say, it depends since not everyone are into gambling, they may like his songs but that doesn't mean they like to play gambling too. Just like how these celebrities advertise their products like soap, shampoo, food, etcetera, you probably don't want to copy all of that just because they were your favorite celebrity but there are some people who would like to be like them that to the extent they will copy everything about of their favorite celebrity just like MJ the way he look and how he dance on the stage.

The point when hiring celebrities to advertise casinos isn't to make people copy their steps, but to make the public of that celebrity  become aware about the specific casino brand being advertised. So people who enjoy gambling (despite the celebrity betting or not), will have that alternative in mind when they want to play. Other fans who don't have interest for gambling will continue not having interest for gambling, while still enjoying the celebrity on the internet, unless they have some self-confidence issues which lead them to do what others are doing for acceptance inside a social group.
