Holy Crap, anyone see the John Daly Article.
Heres a qoute--
"He told one story of earning $750,000 when he lost in a playoff to Tiger Woods last fall in San Francisco at a World Golf Championship. Instead of going home, he drove to Las Vegas and says he lost $1.65 million in five hours playing mostly $5,000 slot machines."
Thats Crazy!!

From the article:
"I'm off those ... medications. I don't drink JD (Jack Daniels) anymore. I don't beat up on hotel rooms and cars as much. Only gambling remains a problem," he wrote.
He said he plans to start at the $25 slots in the casinos and set a "walkout loss number," which would tell him it's time to leave.
"If I make a little bit, then maybe I move up to the $100 slots or the $500 slots, or maybe I take it to the blackjack table," he wrote. "It's their money. Why not give it a shot, try to double it? And if I make a lot, I can ...
"Well, that's my plan."
That's not how he's going to beat it, he needs to walk away completely, how do I know this? Because I'm a recovering Gambler, it's a disease and it can eat you up in a heart beat. He will never recover until he hits rock bottom. I know this from experience.

It's OK, those are 1991 dollars - he is marking everything up from the PGA Championship.

For any one who did not click on the article he has lost between 50 and 60 million dollars the last 12 years gambling.
Thats just an insane amount, and he makes more money then most of us could ever dream, but thats just insanity. And I bet he still owes money.
He is the type of persaon that gets addicted to anything he touches. |

first of all the number is inflated. the 50 mill is not a net loss. he earned over 40 mill gambling from what I understand so his net loss was less than 10 mill. still a ton of money but the big number is being used to sell books.
on another note I LOVE to gamble which is why I don't do it. it can be very adicting. |
