Guys, I get happy when I read news like this, because it shows that even our "super heroes" lose large amounts of money.
Nobody is immune to the power of gambling, and you need self-control not to lose all your money, luckily Neymar knew how to stop before it was too late Cheesy

Now imagine if it were the other way around, "Neymar wins $ 1 million in gambling", this would encourage many people to gamble wildly in order to lose a lot of money.
Thus, it ended up discouraging or even turning on the warning signal in many people to play with prudence.

You’re probably right. If Neymar had staked €1m and won, it would definitely would have motivated a lot of people to stake money as well. It would encourage people to stake much more than they usually would do.
I know the money lost by Neymar would not leave a dent on his pockets as he earns a whole lot more but I guess it’s a good thing people saw him lose money. It would perhaps make a player willing to use whatever savings he has accumulated to stake to change his mind. You win some, you lose some.
