Sports Stars Battle Their Addiction To Poker
|
Author: Marc Weinberg
 November 27 - This is the best news I've heard regarding poker in the last few months - professional athletes, most notably a few Premiership football stars, are addicted to poker and losing fortunes gambling at cards. A guy with a double-digit IQ, a twelve-year old's education level, and millions in the bank; now that sounds like my ideal opponent.
Exhibit Number 1: Wayne Rooney. A thug, a yob, a man who makes Gazza look like a thinker, and a degenerate card player and gambler. Rooney, when he isn't beating up fellow clubbers, apparently drops $1,000,000 betting with cards his weakness. He lost a $45,000 motor car on a hand of poker, and that's music to my ears.
Exhibit Number 2: Roy Carroll. Part of the West Ham gambling problem, their woeful keeper has checked in to a rehab facility for his gambling addiction. Carroll is also into poker and if he plays that game anything like the way he plays soccer he'll be bankrupt in six months.
Exhibit Number 3: John Terry, the rock of England's defense allegedly likes nothing more than dropping thousands of quid at the local betting shop. Of course it would be unthinkable for any of these gentlemen to bet on football (cough, cough). This is a scandal in the making.
I didn't even mention Paul Merson, Alex Ferguson, and a host of other football characters who love to punt like lunatics when they're not on the pitch. It makes you wonder about the integrity of the game.
More important to me is to encourage these clowns to meet me at an online poker room. Are you a professional athlete with a few million in change lying around and a hankering to play high-stakes poker? Then don't delay and sign up at Bodog Poker. Please make sure you look for the table with 'Masterbets' sitting there so that I can introduce you gently to the world of poker.
