I get the feeling that many professional athletes are
addicted to gambling.
Must be the competitive nature or something.
To me, gambling is a sign of low intellect but they
must see it differently.
Phil Mickelson is another that comes to mind:
He is reported to have gambled hundreds of
thousands at a time,
and rumors are that he had to sign with Liv golf
because he was near broke from gambling and
needed the money.

Phil Mickelson has earned more than $1 billion in his golf career, making him the second golfer after Tiger Woods to surpass that mark.

According to a book released by professional gambler Billy Walters, Walters alleges that Mickelson's gambling losses were close to $100 million and he wagered “a total of more than $1 billion during the past three decades.” Walters also alleges that he made over 7,000 wagers between 2010 and 2014.Sep 19, 2023
