Educated Bet – The Science of Sports Betting

EducatedBet….Thats Terrible!

Charles Barkley acknowledged he owes a $400,000 gambling debt to a Las Vegas Strip casino and promised Thursday to repay it after a prosecutor said the retired NBA star faced criminal charges.

“My mistake,” Barkley said in an interview at a pro-am golf tournament in Hoover, Ala. “I’m not broke, and I’m going to take care of it.” Barkley was responding to comments by Clark County District Attorney David Roger, who said prosecutors would file a criminal complaint if he did not pay the debt cited by the Wynn Las Vegas resort. The casino alleged in a civil complaint filed Wednesday in a Nevada state court and first reported by the Las Vegas Sun that Barkley failed to repay four $100,000 casino markers, or loans, received last Oct. 18 and 19.

We all know that Chuck has a little bit of a gambling problem and this is no different at all. I dont think that he is broke and I do think that it will get paid, its really no big deal…I think! It most likely just slipped his mind and now that he faces criminal charges, I would be willing to bet that 400,000 K that he will pay it real soon!
