Have you ever checked out a sport or betted on a team because of your favorite celebrity?
When it comes to your favorite personalities, sports, and gambling interests, you should not connect them on your own; you should decide for yourself what kind of sports you are going to bet on.
A fan can look, but they should not be influenced.
If they get influenced, it's because they decide that this is the kind of sport that they can include as a sport to bet on, and you are comfortable betting.
In general you’re correct but it’s not the common behavior of fan since they usually follow what the celebrities doing since they are interested on their life.
Even on social media you will see a lot of fan as if they are related to the celebrity by copying every details the celebrity doing. It’s their way to have fun on following a celebrity.
I follow some streamers and I do check for myself games that they are doing just for the curiosity on why streamers enjoying that specific game.
