Today, a Thai YouTuber and celebrity Sodor Style, whose real name is Pimlada Wewvitsong, visited the Royal Thai Police’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) in response to a summons. She was there to give her side of the story regarding her live TikTok broadcast where she revealed her experience with online gambling. According to her account, she lost more than 25 million baht in just three and a half months.

 

Sodor Style began her gambling journey in January this year and encountered losses throughout the experience. In one instance, she revealed that she gambled 300,000 baht in one go and ended up losing the entire sum. She wagered on three games, totalling 900,000 baht of losses. Furthermore, she talked about her betting on football matches in her live broadcast, which began to accumulate losses into the millions. At that point, Sadao Style claimed that money held no value for her and losing more led her to gamble further, sometimes making significant returns in a short amount of time. As a result, she became one of the top customers for several gambling websites during this period.

 

In a brief statement, Sodor Style revealed that she received a summons to testify as a witness from both the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) and the TCSD. Initially, she was uncertain about the topics the authorities would cover during her questioning, but she expressed her full commitment to cooperating with the investigation. Sadao Style did not express any distress regarding the situation.

Sometimes the hook gets set deep and you can not get away from the lure of the possibility of getting rich.  Once down money folks double down and hope they regain what they have lost.  I wonder how many gambling addicts there are in Thailand....that's a rhetorical question by the way.

Don't you mean DOUBLE UP and hope to regain what they have lost?

No thats is incorrect, but I get your drift.

1. In blackjack, to double one's wager after seeing one's initial hand of cards, with only one more card allowed to be drawn afterward. Having already lost a massive sum, he decided to double down an already huge bet to try to win back some of his money.

You are quoting Blackjack.

In 'real' English if you put on twice the bet you previously did, you are doubling UP, logically.

She's lucky she can afford to lose 25 million Baht.

I wonder if the appropriate tax had been paid on the 25m.

 

Oh, that 25m - I just gambled it away and have nothing now.....

Looks like she has to hold her face that she does not lose it ... it might fall off ...

'reveals 25 million baht online gambling loss during police questioning'  I misread the headline and thought the Thai police were in some way responsible for the loss.  Easily done here.
