In the Everton vs Crystal Palace match, the Toffees (the team he had bet on) were down by two goals in the first half, with the winning goal being scored minutes before the end of the match. The broadcaster's risky bet here has provided him with a handsome return and is being touted by the pro-gambling section of the streaming community.

This segment also argues in his favor by providing a rationale for the other two draw bets he made on the same day.

Readers should note that the results were pretty easy to anticipate in the drawn matches that the streamer bet on. The goals, if any, were scored towards the start of the game with slow defensive second halves in both.

It is also worth noting that the win percentage indicates that these bets were made during the game, taking away from the fact that the content creator is calling these wins calculated risks.

The variety streamer is in the news for various reasons, from a massive win to incidents of him dashing on his viewers when questioned why they were unsuccessful on his recommended platforms.

As the morality of gambling is the prime ongoing discussion in the streaming community, it was evident that this announcement of a fantastical win would evoke many different reactions from his followers, split between for and against gambling.

Trainwreck can be seen streaming anything between gambling and World of Warcraft on his channel while actively collaborating frequently with various creators. He was the second most-watched streamer during the last Presidential election, after HasanAbi.

He also hosts the Scuffed Podcast to help raise money for various charitable causes.
