Neymar's bad luck with injuries has carried over to online gambling, as he lost €1 million (£ 900,000) playing online casino games in just one hour while streaming it on his Twitch channel.
The £3.2 million-per-month Paris Saint-Germain player is on his own after an ankle injury forced him to miss the remainder of the season.
In his spare time, which he has enough of as he recovers from surgery, Neymar is not opposed to gambling.
Neymar frequently plays online games on his Twitch platform, despite the fact that he is better known for his passion for poker.
However, Neymar had a difficult night and responded in a hilarious way when he realized how much he had lost.
When the realization finally hit the 31-year-old, he pretended to cry as a mock Titanic theme started to play. This song is frequently used on social media as a meme for sad moments.
His tears changed to laughter in a matter of seconds, and then he shouted out in agony while sticking his fingers in his mouth.
He then laughed and shouted, "Oh f***," pretending to play the flute as he joined in on the off-key song.
According to Globo Esporte, one of his teammates could be heard in the background remarking that Neymar "went from a million to zero in 60 minutes."
Neymar then made a joke about posting the moment's film to YouTube.
With his high pay, it is hardly surprising that the Brazilian wasn't overly unhappy about losing $1 million.
The highest salaries for Ligue 1 players were recently reported by the French daily L'Equipe.
Neymar came in second on the list and is reported to earn £3.2 million per month, before factoring in his sponsorship and endorsement income.
He earns just a little bit more than Lionel Messi, who makes about £3 million a month. Kylian Mbappe, another PSG teammate, tops the list with a staggering £5.2 million in pay.
According to RMC Sport, Neymar has frequently been seen in casinos. He even participated in the European Poker Tour, where other players reportedly suggested he play poker professionally.
After his team's Champions League elimination against Bayern Munich, Neymar was seen at a poker table, sparking some criticism.
There were recommendations. After the first-leg defeat, Neymar was criticized by Mbappe for saying, "For the return game, the essential thing is that we all eat and sleep properly."
Mbappe, however, denied making fun of his PSG teammate.
After speaking with Neymar, manager Christophe Galtier subsequently said, "I told him what I believed." During his day off, he has the right to play poker.
