Charles Barkley 5-Star Special

**hubie69** · 09-17-10, 09:00 AM

I love both DP and Barkley, can't wait to hear it. I love how Barkley is just like "Well, I'ma gamble, cause thats just me"

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 09:56 AM

$10,000 on Michigan St. -3.5

$5,000 on Wyoming +23.5

You know what to do

He owed Ceasars palace over 200,000 in markers last year. He is a born loser in the gambling world.

His last lock was Cleveland over Boston in the conference semi's

"I've got to stop gambling...I am not going to gamble anymore. For right now, the next year or two, I'm not going to gamble... Just because I can afford to lose money doesn't mean I should do it." -Charles Barkley USA Today Aug 2008

Barkley has admitted to losses in the range of $10 million. I guess he's back to his old tricks again....

wait, Barkley's on Sparty and Wyoming, or he's on ND and Boise and you're fading him with Sparty and Wyoming? thanks in advance for clarification, houli. leaning hard on Sparty, but if it's Barkley 5*, i think i can skip it.

Biff, I'm fairly certain those two picks are Barkley's...I'll let Houli verify -Giovanni

that was my initial thought. just wanted to be sure before i cross Sparty off my list. i really liked that game (esp at -3, where it's available at a couple of places) and now this fat fk had to go and ruin it.

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 10:20 AM

Barkley is on Sparty, and the Cowboys.

thanks, houli. phooey on him.

**hubie69** · 09-17-10, 10:34 AM

Hahahaha houli, excellent pic. I was leaning heavy on the bears but might just pass that game all together

**jds07v** · 09-17-10, 10:37 AM

I think he is referring to the Cowboys of the University of Wyoming in their game against Boise State

Not the Bears/Cowboys NFL game

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 10:45 AM

Wyoming Cowboys that is.

Charles is playing Wyoming +23.5, and Michigan St. -3.5

**Kustac** · 09-17-10, 10:49 AM

good stuff sounds like Barkley should charge for these

**coloradobuff** · 09-17-10, 11:10 AM

love that barkley is a betting machine

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 11:21 AM

Anyone following these picks needs to have their head examined.

**og4667** · 09-17-10, 11:25 AM

thanks Houli, Michigan St. wins by 3 and Boise kicks some ass.

**BookieOweMe** · 09-17-10, 11:31 AM

do we fade?

**hubie69** · 09-17-10, 11:33 AM

I gotta say, those two games weren't anywhere on my radar. Proof being I thought he meant the bears/cowboys game on sun.

Blah, I don't like them enough to even fade them.

Wow how would you come to the conclusion that Dallas cowboys would be 23.5 underdogs to bears is not something I would admit to either.

**hubie69** · 09-17-10, 11:40 AM

Yea... Not even thinking about the wyoming game AT ALL. The cowboys game has been on my mind for sunday and some how it just jumped track skipping over wyoming and going straight to dallas. WOW

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 11:59 AM

Its all good, just dont bet the Wyoming Cowboys and you can avoid a sure loser.

**lyon804** · 09-17-10, 12:20 PM

Charles will always be a favorite of mine. We grew up less than 20 minutes from each other. I have met him in person and he is more gracious than his on screen appearance seems he would be. He just stinks at gambling, which makes him average in one aspect of his life. The Pride of Leeds HS,AL

Stick with your capping. People faded NC State last night just because Lang was on it. You know the result.

Great guy for sure. I met him along with my grandmother. Very personable, and talkative to strangers.

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 12:37 PM

With all that said.... I have friends that I fade, so I will Fade Charles with confidence.

thanks. i'd never switch sides and fade what my capping says, but if a mush like Barkley's telling everyone in the world he's on it for 10 g's, i'd just rather avoid it altogether and watch. there's always merit in skipping a game when there are this many options available.

50+ games. If you cant find a better bet, then you shouldnt be gambling.

I found those same qualities in him as well. He has an infectiuos personality and people want to be around the guy. I sorda feel bad for him because I think his gambing will cost him dearly in the long run. He is a famed NBA player from the past.. top 50 of all time for sure and might wind up a regular joe financially. He won't be the first multi-millionaire to lose it all. Might be why he still works for TNT. As far the Markers he owed... I thought it was more like 400K. He paid when he got supena.

**hubie69** · 09-17-10, 01:01 PM

I think chuck was my favorite ball player growing up.

**HoulihansTX** · 09-17-10, 01:04 PM

Chuck gets a fat check from the NBA pension, and TNT every year. Not to mention the money he made from endorsements last year, and during his playing career.

A 10,000 wager is the least of his worries.
