Skales’ post didn’t go unnoticed, as fans and followers quickly flooded the replies with a mix of humor, caution, and playful jabs. One user, @evul_mastermind, commented, “Almost everyone wins their first bet 😂 It’s like an initiation,” suggesting that Skales’ win might be a classic case of beginner’s luck.
