Something feels really odd about this Pompsie gambling video

[DrSayre]

Not sure if there's really a scam or a scandal here, but Ive seen some other threads about different YouTube gambling streamers and I thought it was kinda interesting. Pompsie (Las Vegas streamer, mostly hotel reviews but does other Las Vegas related streams) put out a Roulette video where he and his wife attempted to turn $1,000 into $10,000 by playing Roulette. Plan is to take $500 each, alternate betting Red/Black (they would always bet the opposite of each other) at a video Roulette table and try to both get to $2,500. Then take the full $5,000 and bet it all on black at a live Roulette table.

After hours playing Roulette, he got to $2,500 but his wife didnt. So they decide to bet black twice to get to $10,000. They actually win the first spin to get to $5,000, but lose it all on the 2nd spin. But this just seems like a way to lose $1,000. Why bet it all after getting to $5,000? (or even after the $2,500?). Maybe these streamers make more per video that I realized (or make more in general) that they can afford to waste $1000 for a video.

they are crushing it. that isn't much to them imo now.

Yeah, I can see $1000 not being much to them.. but I still have a hard time grinding that long, just to bet it all on black, no matter how small amount $1000 is to me. But Im not much of a Roulette player, would much prefer craps or other games to try this with.

Just a gimmick for the channel. He's making so much that the potential risk here doesn't really matter. Sure, it would be better if he made it to $10k, but he will be fine either way.

Pompsie has a 2nd channel titled Pompsie Slots. He is making a ton of money from it. It's much more popular than his original channel. He was smart to put his girl in the videos because it does attract some simps.

Doesn’t he know that $50s are bad luck?
