Neymar apparently lost €1 million in an online bet during a live broadcast, prompting speculation that it was a marketing stunt.
On the same day that his social media accounts were hacked, the Brazilian soccer star suffered another hit. While recovering from the injury, the Paris Saint-Germain player broadcast his participation live on a betting site for a match. However, just one hour later, he lost around €1 million. The Brazilian took the situation with humor and pretended to cry live.
Neymar, sponsored by a popular online poker portal, had to endure the jokes of his friends who were in the live broadcast and played him a song from the movie Titanic, a typical meme on social networks for moments of sadness One of them told Neymar that he had achieved the milestone of “going from a million to zero in 60 minutes.” Then, showing good humor amid the loss, Neymar said: “I made a YouTube video about it” before ending the live stream.
According to some profiles on social networks, it could be a marketing stunt by the online betting company where Neymar lost all his money. The idea is to show the average bettor that there are bigger and more famous “loses” out there, which can make the user more focused on the site.
