Popular Twitch.TV streamer loses $5,000 in a single blackjack hand - Page 2

The dealer is creepy

People that send him 100.000$, is that the same kind of people that send money to Nigeria scammers ?

i guess we'd have to ask his parents if they send money to Nigerian scammers

people seriously watch this? how shitty are their lives that they have to tune into this tool? i'd rather blow my brains out than watch him for 30 minutes

hurrr durrrr i'm a baby boomer and i prefer watching tools get paid millions to roleplay superheroes and wizards on my television box!! whats wrong with this generation of kids!! hurr durr

haha +1

50k donation... probably triggered some sort of domino effect upon the nerds as well.
' hey someone donated 50k lets pour our money into this guy, hes a god.'

There is actually a South Park episode that deals with live commenting streams that kids do. An example is a new Call of Duty came out, and Kyle's little brother wanted to just sit like a vegetable and watch somebody stream and comment about playing the new game when Kyle just bought the game.

I think its a huge fad, at least I hope it is. It is kind of interesting for like a week. I mean how fucked up are kids getting when playing a game like WoW is called not participating in life, but then it turns into them just sitting there watching somebody stream playing WoW for hours ! Fucking crazy.

well the rumors are that the high donations were faked, and other streamers were also in it and faked donations which gained them popularity and curious people would tune into their streams wondering who these guys were and how they got such high donations.

yeah iam quite certain that most super high money donations are faked.. just recently i watched summit1g (CSGO player) streaming some h1z1 (basically because i wanted to get an impression of h1z1) and some1 donated him 20k and he went crazy about it. little later that guy donated anohter 10k and kept donating at least 5 figures. summit got him in teamspeak and he said he is a pokerplayer from nl and that this is not a lot of money for him. after several days he was messaged that the donations were blocked by paypal for security reasons and he actually never got the money. summit talked back to the dutch guy and he said something that there are problems with moving that amount of money from his bank account (which is a super lol excuse.. you can easily move money in between bank accounts/paypal/e-wallets in europe. at least for some lower 5 figures maybe you will run into higher security checks when you reach the 6 figures).

You guys are just a little too harsh on the idea of streaming, lol. It's entertainment.. as simple as that. The more entertaining a broadcaster is the larger audience and successful they'll become. The donations these guys get are pretty crazy tho imo. Also if you're interested in a particular game (especially competitively) you are able to watch and learn from some of the best players if you check out their stream.

its same shit as watching grown men kick a ball aound for two hours while 75 year old dudes comment on their play.

also, what makes live content entrainement (twitch/youtube/streaming site) more apealing then conventional media is the direct interaction (chat) you have with the broadcaster. it might seem trivial, but it's the main reason twitch has such strong and loyal ($$$) following, and main reason why conventional media is trying hard to integrate social media on their programming; because they know the key is the interaction of the viewer with the content.

To everyone who watches sports? Wtf is wrong with you? Why are you watching football when you can go out and play it? Idk, same logic.
