La star internazionale delle corse, Marco, accelera verso il settore delle scommesse sportive
Chicago, il proprietario di un concessionario auto Marco Piemonte, precedentemente noto attraverso l'attività di famiglia, ora conquista la fama su una piattaforma diversa: i social media come scommettitore sportivo ad alto rischio. Conosciuto come "Marco del Milione", Piemonte ha ottenuto vittorie a sette cifre attraverso scommesse multiple e si è guadagnato una reputazione grazie alla sua associazione con la piattaforma di scommesse sportive Betr, che conta tra i suoi influencer la star della realtà e aspirante pugile Jake Paul.
"I non sono mai stato abituato ad essere riconosciuto fuori dall'Illinois, ma ora le persone mi avvicinano anche in Florida per chiedere foto, a causa dell'effetto Jake Paul", ha condiviso Piemonte con Sports Handle. Con più di 170.000 follower su Instagram e 50.000 su Twitter, la fama di Piemonte è cresciuta rapidamente, testimoniando il potere dei social media.
L'amore di Piemonte per il gioco d'azzardo è nato nell'infanzia, con partite di poker a cinque carte con la nonna e gratta e vinci al negozio di convenience. Il suo interesse per le scommesse sportive è sbocciato alle superiori, trasformandosi in scommesse più grandi nell'adolescenza. Le sue connessioni professionali nel settore automotive, un mix eclettico di persone da diversi backgrounds, hanno affinato le sue abilità nelle scommesse sportive.
Despite his father's disapproval, Piemonte remained passionate about sports wagering. His bet sizes gradually rose, reaching $3,000 as a young adult. He found early struggles, losing large sums before winning a $43,000 prize in a Full Tilt Poker tournament at age 19.
Despite starting with simple games like five-card poker and scratch-offs, Marco Piemonte's interest in sports betting evolved over time, leading to larger wagers in his adolescence.
Known for his high-stakes sports bets, Piemonte has earned the nickname "Million Dollar Marco," earning seven-figure wins through parlay wagers.
Piemonte's reputation in sports wagering is amplified by his association with sports wagering platform Betr, which boasts reality star and aspiring boxer Jake Paul among its influencers.
With more than 170,000 followers on Instagram and 50,000 on Twitter, Piemonte's fame has grown significantly, underscoring the power of social media.
Piemonte's unique blend of experiences from both his auto industry connections and childhood gambling games has honed his skills in sports betting.
Piemonte's association with Betr began through Mike Denevi, a former colleague from Bleacher Report. As an investor and signed personality, Piemonte is not an employee of the company. He hosts the "100x Club" podcast alongside long-time friend Anthony Damato, sponsored by Betr.
Piemonte is determined to make the sports wagering social media space better through Betr. He aims to promote responsible gaming, advocating for limiting credit card deposits to deter young bettors from gambling beyond their means. Embracing the platform's focus on microbetting, Piemonte anticipates growth in the short and medium term, with Betr potentially launching in multiple states within a year.
In balancing his roles as a family man, business owner, and public figure, Piemonte remains grounded, recognizing the lessons learning from losses and finding ways to give back to his community through promotions and giveaways. Despite reaching new heights of fame, Piemonte stays true to his roots: "I love sports betting, and it's what I'll always enjoy doing."
