Chump change to him. One of the coolest celebs I have ever been around in Vegas. He used to go back to every place Jordan and him ate, drank, gambled etc....and hand out tips because Mike is a stiff. Funniest thing I remember is watching Charles playing blackjack with Mike and Pippen and him telling Pippen "how the f are you playing this game when you can't even count to 21."

He fuckin sucks at NFL betting... but I remember him being pretty sharp at College Basketball during March Madness last year... he was hyping Arizona and Kentucky and they both made deep runs.

Charles is a gambler. He also hates anything to do with NY.

This didn't just come out. He released this live on air on a Philly radio station Friday before game.
Maybe just came out in Australia

What are you talking about? The guy made 40 million in NBA Salary alone. He had countless endorsements, and gets 1.5 - 2 million a year for TNT. Hes probably worth over 60 million easy.

Are you forgetting he is a compulsive gambler??
Also he did not make all that money..TAXES took a lot
He is far from being real wealthy

You do know taxes take over 50% right? Let's say he's after tax he's bringing in 2mil/year with tnt/endorsements etc. This means he just wagered 1/20 of his net income on one game.
As well, how many nba players go broke? They all suck with money and he's probably not even worth 5 million.

To be honest I was at mandalay bay this weekend playing blackjack right beside Charles and saw his betting tickets and he had 100k on ne and 100k on under and he split. Then on Monday he went and bet 4 NBA games for 150k a piece and went 4-0. He had a good weekend. He was walking around with a stack of those big white 100k chips shooting it at em. First time I ever met him and he was a stand up guy just loving to gamble and have some fun.

Are there private bookies who deal to big whales like him? He's a retard if he pays full juice dropping 100k at a time.
