A True Golfer Gambler

Here is a lift from a recent article about pro golfer John Daly and his gambling...
Daly estimates that his total gambling losses from 1991-2007 fall in the range of $55-57 million.

"We went through all my tax records to find out, because I really didn't know, and it just came to that," Daly said. "I was shocked. I thought it might have been $20-25 (million), but I had no idea that it was $55-57 million. It's crazy."

According to Daly, he would regularly play seven hands of blackjack at the same time, each for up to $15,000. He also frequented a high-limit slot machine that cost $5,000 per pull and would sometimes stay at the tables for up to two days straight.

He refuses to fly and instead drives his big RV from tournament to tournament . I remember when he admitted after he had won a big tournament that he stopped in LV and blew the whole 1st place check and then some. If it isn't one addiction it is another for him. But that is why people love him so much....his honesty.....
