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.

For athletes like him who earn a lot of money, yeah, this is just a lunch money for them and with that kind of emotions and reaction, it seems that he just enjoyed the game.

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.

I don't think gamblers should compare themselves with sports personalities or anyone that has a lot of money to begin it. That is the wrong aspect for someone, why fuel gambling addiction is very different from each one of us.

These celebrities and public figures should be fined for trying to glorify gambling without stating the negative aspects when it is over done.

Again just like you and me who has money to burn in gambling, it's the people who've seen them is the problem and not this public figures. Everyone knows the negative aspects of gambling, they don't need to tell that to the public.
