When his team lost, Silva took almost immediately to Twitter and, in a lighthearted plea, relayed his dismay and sought financial support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p><span>Silva got into the game after his team moved ahead 1-0. That was enough for him to expect Coritiba to take the game, and he wagered on them to win. However, fate turned the tables around. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/brazil-launches-parliamentary-inquiry-over-match-fixing-in-sports\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Athletico Paranaense<\/a> recovered, ultimately winning the game 3-2, shocking the world champ and die-hard fans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That\u2019s when he turned to social media to plea for supporters to throw him a lifeline.<\/p>\n<p>Silva had an illustrious career in the MMA, ultimately making it to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/top-10-richest-mma-fighters-ever\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">top-10 list<\/a> of the richest fighters before he retired last September after a semi-retirement four years earlier. Since then, he\u2019s seemingly spent his free time buying pricey apartments in his home country and spending more time betting on sports.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plea_to_Fans\"><\/span>Plea to Fans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The clip has been shared on Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms, sparking various responses from Silva\u2019s followers. Some questioned whether it was a joke, while others lamented the need for Silva to ask for financial assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Silva responded after the news began making waves outside social media. Silva gave a half-serious and half-joking explanation in a new video posted on his Instagram profile. The serious side acknowledged the wagers. However, according to him, the total was only BRL200 (US$40.26).<\/p>\n<p>He added in the video that his fans had given him BRL150 (US$30.20) to cover the debt and that he\u2019s still waiting for the balance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">Wand apostou com a rapaziada, perdeu e agora t\u00e1 pedindo ajuda dos coxas pra quitar os compromissos.
