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.
I would just say to Neymar, so what if you lose 1M or 2M, it should not matter to him.
If it was me and the amount was 200 or 300$, I would have cried and thought why I spend all this amount on a single bet, but for the people like Neymar whose one week earning is €1M, losing this amount does not matter to him.
I guess by losing this amount he is being discussed on social platforms and this is also something favors him. If you and me loss 500$ in gambling, no one would listen us or care about us.
