Twitch gambling streamer Xposed bets insane amount of money on Call of Duty League match and loses it all

Twitch streamer Cody &quot;Xposed&quot; Burnett recently bet a whopping $450,000 on a Call of Duty League match between Optic Texas and Los Angeles Thieves. Unfortunately for him, he lost it all after Optic Texas were defeated 0-3.Sponsored by contentious crypto gambling website Stake, the Canadian has been a dedicated slots streamer for quite some time now. He regularly pulls in an average viewership of around 2K.Xposed@XposedLETS GO @OpTicTexas 🤢 WHAT AM I DOING DUDE #CDLChamps125771LETS GO @OpTicTexas 🤢 WHAT AM I DOING DUDE #CDLChamps https://t.co/48a0l6qXt7Before the Call of Duty League match, the streamer posted a screenshot of the bet, along with the caption:&quot;LETS GO @OpTicTexas. WHAT AM I DOING DUDE&quot;Sponsored streamers gamble huge amounts of money each day, winning or losing thousands or even millions. In reality, most of the losses are offset by the sponsors. This means the streamers don't really lose that much. Xposed is a relevant example. In a subsequent tweet, the content creator clarified that only 30% of the money he wagered was his own, with the rest being Stake's:&quot;This is my stream money I was using. Instead of having a good stream tonight and making content out of it I tried to double my money by placing this bet. 30% of this was mine meaning I lost $135K. Definitely a loss that stings but I’ll be okay.&quot;Xposed@XposedRelax man, I’m paid well by stake. This is my stream money I was using.

Xposed did warn his Twitter followers about the dangers of gambling in a subsequent post, saying: &quot;REMINDER* When gambling and you lose money do not chase your losses. 9/10 times you will lose again and be even more in the hole. If you gamble, gamble responsibly and with money you can afford to lose, money that isn’t going to change your mood or make you terribly angry.&quot;The streamer also placed a bet on Optic's next match, held on August 7. This time, he wagered $98K. His team ultimately won, which means he got a favorable payout.

Many feel the streaming platform should even curb sponsored gambling streams, and recent reports suggest the company is still deciding on the matter.
