Ryan Garcia is on the road to redemption. It seems he’s trying to win the audience back through various clean-up posts on his social media.

Ryan Garcia placed a high-stakes bet on the Super Bowl. Just days before the championship game, Garcia declared his allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs, putting a cool $100,000 on their victory. But this isn’t just about bragging rights. Garcia, ever the showman, has pledged to donate his winnings to charity. He’s even asking fans to help him pick the cause, transforming a potential windfall into a chance to give back.

He wrote, “I’m betting 100k on the Chiefs to win.” After a few hours, he again went on his social media as he wrote, “With all of the winning’s I will donate to charity. Also comment what charity’s are some I should Consider.” However, he saw a problem with that and made amends. He confirmed that he would donate to a charity irrespective of whoever wins in the Super Bowl. However, it didn’t really matter.
