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.

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.

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

Maybe € 1m is very small for Neymar considering his large salary, but I really agree that a public figure like Neymar should get a very large warning or fine, considering that Neymar should be able to set a good example for his fans who are probably mostly young, indeed gambling is not banned in some countries but neymar shouldn't have to broadcast it in public and be seen by many people, I've heard of a rule that footballers shouldn't promote smoking and alcohol in public and I think football associations should also prohibit footballers from gambling and broadcasting it in public .
