Celebrities you probably don't know were(are) aggressive gamblers

[Dreamchaser21]

When I googled about the addicted celebrities I got so much of familiar hollywood actors are being gambling addict which I never know in my knowledge.

So greediness to make money never miss the celebrities too who is earning very huge from their profession.

I also tried to look for our local celebrities and it looks like many of them failed to survive on gambling addiction and ended up with bankruptcy. It looks like they are more greedy compare to other gamblers since they have the money and I think they can easily lose money because of being too complacent. Gambling addiction can happen to anyone.

I don’t see any exemptions in gambling because anyone can play so anyone can also be addict. I know some of those celebrities and they really regret that moment since they just not lose the money but they also lose careers which is their main source of income, really bad for them.

I have always know that Charlie Sheen is a gambler and probably he left his comedy movie two and a half man for gambling because it pays him more. He might be making so much money from it without his wife knowing but come to think of it, 200,000 usd on betting is quite an outrageous amount of money to bet with but I don’t think Charley is broke or recorded broke ever since he left the industry, so the betting must really be paying him better. I want to be like Charlie sheen too.

That really means gambling is what most of us are addicted to and in considering of our status we are addicted to gamble.  It also means people are not into gambling because they are poor but some are into it because of addictions.

[greeklogos]

Is there anything Charlie Sheen is not addicted to? 

Haha right. Seems like he has addiction to everything, woman, alcohol, drugs, gambling and ect.
Honestly, I'm surprised to see Ashton in the list, I've never heard of a case about him and gambling addiction.

How can you say we didn't Know Floyd Mayweather, Jr is into gambling (aggressive gambler) when his profession is known for gambling. I don't think mayweather's case is any news since he bet on himself for all his big fights and have won all.  Gambling is one of the ways boxers make money as the sport itself encourages it.

That's one big reason a lot think that the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight years ago was all cooked up to make Mayweather win the fight and win on his bet on himself.

Some people think that Michae lJordan retired from the NBA in 1994 because he was banned for gambling on games.  So then he used the baseball excuse to retire from the game.  Also read that his father was killed over a gambling debt that he refused to pay.  Sounds crazy but maybe it holds some truth.

So, now it is clearer to me after all but would you mind to hand me over the sources of this, because some say that mafia was responsible for killing his father. Well, the craziest thing is that MJ is really a competitive person that he couldn't accept defeat that's why he's too addicted to gambling. They say that he even bet a 100k$ just for the rock, paper, and scissor game.

maybe thats true because we know that celebrities are rich  . they can use those money for gambling and there is nothing bad about it  . while some celebs use thier money for dangerous and illegal things like drugs , which is not appropriate anymore  .  however i wouldnt believe that michael jordan left the nba because of gambling , maybe he only retire because good basketball players on our country also retire  because they are unbeatable anymore . they need to pass thier skills to a new generation .

Yes, I agree with you that there is nothing bad about gambling but it makes no difference to the rest if gambling is not adding benefit to one’s life and the benefit gambling should add is help multiply whatever amount you use for betting even though I fully understand that gambling is a game which one can lose, that is why it is best to bet with an amount that is not so outrageous. If he keeps gambling such amount of money without making profit then he is already heading to his doom called BROKAGE.

I bet they really do not know how to use their money in a useful way. They have so much money knowing that they are celebrities. If they are gambling for fun or because they are so addicted into it, we don't know the real reason.
I was just shocked that Mayweather is really addicted.

[bitgolden]

It is now clear that not everyone gambles for money. I think some people that gambles do not just do it for the money but for the pleasure they derive although are aware there are those who do it for money. But, for people who do this for entertainment or pleasure, they only need self-control not to get lost in it.

Someone like May weather and all this listed celebrities, there are even a lot whose name is not on this list. This is even to tell us that gambling is full and it is for everyone. I didn’t expect to see Toby Maguire and Matt Damon on that list, not surprised about May Weather been on the list as the nature of his job itself supports gambling.

I don't think they don't know how to use their money well. We can't judge them because they deserve to have some fun themselves and I think that's the fruit of their hardwork.

It just so happens that they're celebrities that's why them being gamblers became a big deal. If they weren't famous and aggressive gamblers, they wouldn't be subjected to this controversy.

Exactly, people judge them because they are a public figure but they forget they are also human.
Gambling should not be judge as a bad activity because it always depends on how you handle yourself doing it, with them having a lot of money to gamble, I'm sure they can afford what they risk and let's just hope that they will not be addicted so their career will not be negatively affected.

Didn't Charlie Sheen's reputation get ruined after having addiction problems and then getting sacked from the TV series 'Two and a Half Men'? Whether he's able to make money from gambling, that I'm not so sure of.

It's no surprise to see him among the list of celebrities who's into gambling, or any of the other celebrity for that matter. They do have the capacity to be able to bet and play. What else can you do with all that dough? They're pretty much financially stable enough to be able to spend on useless and unnecessary things. Most celebrities do have ridiculously large houses to spend their money on.

To be a famous gambler,You must have a lot of money.
Such as celebrities mentioned above,The luck is always next to celebrities.
It is also known to bet a lot brings great luck

I don’t think pacquiao- mayweather fight in 2015 was in anyway arranged to make him win.
It’s the game and that is just how it works. Mayweather is a gambler and having to bet on himself means he was ready for to either loose or win and he was lucky to have won.

Gamblers go to any extent and can put anything down to bet, that why I was not even surprised to see him on the list.

In my country, we have lots of local celebrities that are gamblers, just that they keep their own as secret and I believe the reason for the secrecy is because they are not sure or proud of what they are doing, these celebrities mentioned here have not for once denied being a gambler, it means they are proud of what they are doing and if they see it as game and fun, like the writer above you said, I think they deserve to enjoy their hard earned money which is not a big deal like you rightly said.

Gambling addiction can happen to anyone and celebrities are not out of it. I have seen them losing money and becoming bankrupt only because they played gambling too much and in the end face a big loss. When greediness takes over one mind, then that person emotions take control over him and he make all the wrong decisions.

Bankrupt? Those celebrities didnt experience those things yet they do still have the money to play on and its not being known that they do suffer such miserable life- If theres someone
then i might missed that news

It is very simple, why do they place bets from the sports?

Because they are celebrities. They know how to check the players and know who will win the game and will give them a very much high profit. If you are retired or currently playing an athlete, instead of going to casinos, why not go to your the arena of your passion and analyze who will win the game and place the bet there? It's not that much risky and will actually give you lucrative profitability.

Making money is what every rational individual in this capitalist world quest for. Be it Charlie Sheen or Ashton. Making a movie is yet a big form of gambling as well because you never know about the response of the people and that what happens when you release a movie.

We have examples of franchises that went bankrupt after loosing the business in the film industry. So it is not a big surprise in my opinion.
