10. Dana White
Skinny: Bet big on NBA Finals as part of his gambling addictionThe UFC President often spends his time in Vegas, not only bringing the premier mixed martial arts promotion to Sin City, but also bringing his gambling addiction as well.He was one of the biggest gamblers in Palms Casino Resort he has tipped servers $10,000 ,and dealers around $100,000. However, he cut ties with the Palms after the casino reduced his gambling credit line in half. That tells me that maybe Dana is a sharp? He did however lose a wager to Snoop Dogg. A total of $20K after his Celtics lost to the Lakers.
9. Tiger Woods
Its pretty common knowledge that Tiger bets $250,000 per hand in blackjack. Also besides gambling with STD's, Tiger is also one of the biggest sports gamblers around.
8. Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher made a surprising claim in which he fronted a large sports-betting syndicate. According to his interview with Esquire, the Two and a Half Men actor describes a sophisticated operation that was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars per week during college football season.His story was checked out in Las Vegas. A gambling insider noted that Kutcher might be the one featured in Michael Konik’s highly-acclaimed book The Smart Money: How the World’s Best Sports Bettors Beat the Bookies out of Millions.
Daly has a gambling problem and he knows it. In his 2006 biography, Daly said he lost an estimated $50 to $60 million over 12 years at casinos. He recounted winning the $750,000 prize money in a WGA tournament before driving to Las Vegas to gamble it all. But that was not the end; he lost another $900,000 within 5 hours of playing the $5,000 slot machines. $5K slots? So he is defiantly NOT a sharp. I wonder if he will invest in my pyramid business?
6. George Clooney
He makes the list because of the rumored $100+ million he was coming up with to invest in a casino in Las Vegas. Lets be honest, this is the ultimate "sharp" move.
5. Birdman
The word is he bets millions on.......oh who cares, I know I don't
4. Michael Jordan
MJ is a big poker, golf, and sport bettor. I have m own personal story that includes MJ. But because he is loved b so many, I'll keep it to myself and just reprint top bet's post here. We all know that Michael Jordan loved to win more than any when he was on the court. Off the court, he also loves that very same rush, but in other endeavors.While Jordan was still in the NBA, he would frequently be spotted at the high-roller’s table in Atlantic City even on the the nights before games. It got so bad that the NBA had to launch an investigation on his habits.Conspiracy theorists believed that his first retirement from basketball in 1993 was not a retirement at all, but a secret forced suspension by the league due to his gambling habit. (It was never proven).Today, his “Airness” is still betting a ton of money in various gambling environments.A friend named Richard Esquinas publicly claimed that Jordan paid him $1.25 million in golf-related bets.That claim was also followed by tales having Jordan dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars on poker tables along with former NBA players like Charles Barkley.
3. Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley famously said, “I’m not a role model” during his playing career. He extends that notion of himself up to his post-playing days – unless of course you’re including fellow gamblers into the peer group.Charles is a high-stakes gambler but denied he had a problem.In 2006, he went on record to say that his love for gambling cost him $10 million. He also claimed he lost $2.5 million in six hours.
2. 50 Cent
In 2012, he bet and won $500,000 in the NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and Giants.
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
If there is a big sporting event, Floyd’s Twitter followers shall expect a photo of his bet ticket. However, some of us think he bets both sides on occasions and just shows the winning ticket. Also, I guarantee it isn't all profit. Because he never shows his losers. I mean the guy would be a 90%+ winner. I think not. “Money” often places seven-figure bets on any major sporting event – from the Super Bowl to the NBA Finals.He most recently bet $5.9 million and $5 million on the Miami Heat to win both Game 7 of East Finals and Game 7 of NBA Finals, respectively (so he says).A seven-figure amount of money is very big for an ordinary person, but not for Floyd. This is a classic example of a low-risk, high-reward bet for a guy who just made $100 MILLION IN ONE FIGHT. Some of our Celebrity Gamblers have a knack for turning big bucks into bigger bucks while others not so much. They catch a lot of flack for putting the lifetime salary of an average Joe on the table but if to them $1 million is equivalent to $100 to the rest of us, should we care?
