@Tens Flavo You serious? Barkley made a little over $43 million in player salary, half of that or close to half of it went to his agent and taxes. So he was left with like $22 million. He pissed away at least half of that money away by gambling.
Lol, you think he didn’t invest his earnings and make many times more? You think he let just it sit in the bank or something? Plus his endorsement deals, plus he’s been on a rather large contract from TNT for the last 20 years. 20 million dollars is a lot of money and it’s not nothing even to someone like Barkley but come on, get real, this was money he could afford to gamble away.
HeartlessXiao poker is gambling. It’s just that it has the best odds. You can’t tell me when you go all in with A-A and you flopped a set of aces and then you lose to a flush draw that there’s no gambling involved. At the end of the day you are still relying on a certain amount of chance/luck, hence it’s still gambling.
I've watched a number of interviews for graham and a lot of the people he interviews seem like great story tellers. I think it is more the host of the shows who knows how to have his guest open up about their interesting experiences in life.
Graham strikes me very authentic...I'd be stuttering, gawking too. At Sir Charles telling me "I've tipped dealers 75K. 100K..so damn nonchalantly....it's gotta b true! Love it👁️
Sir Charles! I have great respect for you. You're not only honest about your gambling addiction but you are such a generous person to the working people and I'm sure people won't forget that. You are a champion in and out the court in my book, Sir.
I had a friend who was a gambleholic. I say that with a sad heart because it took him down a drark path, and people who dont have it can't or won't understand. Pot heads love weed, heroin addicts need that needle, adrenaline seekers need that rush. Its the same thing with people whom are addicted to gambling. They just cant stop. Even when ahead by a small fortune. After a while it's just not enough, they need more. And I hope people with this disorder. Will find help. P. S. Addiction is a disorder not a disease. Both are horrible, but there has to he a distinction. We can talk about that another time.
I agree with everything you said up until the end. I’ve lived that life for 7 years and know for a fact that is thing runs deeper than a disorder. Addiction is by definition a disease: a particular quality, habit, or disposition regarded as adversely affecting a person or group of people
This is typicall gamblers mentality. You see how is hard to admit how many times he lost a million. He starts first with 10-15 and then he goes beetwen 10-20 but the truth is that he lost close to 30. Thats a lot of money. It hurts him. But Charles is cool guy.
It's amazing how you're able to get those who you're interviewing to be so transparent. What amazes me even more is how your videos don't get more views. Keep it up!
Obviously it's because im poor but if I won $1 million or more, I would never tip them $75,000-$100,000. I would probably give them $1000-$5000 at the most.
I'm also a compulsive gambler and lost everything. Im currently in recovery.. to the interviewer i think you should have taken this interview more seriously it's not a joke.. thank you Charles this was inspiration for me
It took me a long time to overcome gambling. We will always have that temptation.But what will help you is if you remember the saddest moment of your gambling career. Dwell on it when you get the urge to gamble. That lot quickly keep you from gambling it works like a charm for me. I remember losing over $50,000 in markers and crying in my room. I always reflect on that day.I also saved a few IOU paybacks on my Marcus to remind me how much I lost. That also works

when he looks back at how he spent his money he wont regret the 75k tip he will probably be glad he did that it was probably the nicest thing anyone did at that casino that month.
Those "friends" that told him he wasn't addicted and called him an idiot didn't know what they were talking about. He was describing a classic sign of addiction, refusing to leave the table when he's up.
Back in the mid to late 90's Charles lived here in Scottsdale Arizona. I happened to see him quite often at the local Indian casinos. His game was blackjack. But even while he was sitting there, fans would come over for an autograph or just a hand shake. He was very cordial and took the time for everyone that came over. He is a really nice guy. He didn't gamble any excessive amount here because no casino could handle the big bets. But it's only a 50 minute flight from Phx to Vegas. I assume that's where he and his posse spent a few days a month.
Barkley might be lying about the amounts. # 1 ( inflating the #'s) and he works for the media/gov/illuminati powers. that brain wash the viewers and en slave them to be slaves to a , dollar. then what happens, robbing , stealing , lies etc"" to chase a lifestyle of wealth. ( read the Bible, thats where the Truth is at. )
Bruh...I already love Chuck, but to know that he was tipping like that just gives me more respect for him. Ain't no telling how he helped those ppl out...
That’s exactly what I do. Get what I can get in the shortest amount and leave. As The quote goes “The longer you play, the more you lose. In the end we (the casino) get it all”

@@RMokrosFor many gamblers the worst thing that can happen is win something. That guarantees to go on gambling. I've seen a few documentaries about gamblers in Las Vegas. The guys that are good at it have studied the subject very much and work very systematic. Most people don't.

I was merely doing cheap and save bets. There was a lot of information available on horses and it’s not so hard to predict horses, that win all the time, to finish in a race in the top three. But you don't make money this way. Better bet on a bad horse that never wins. That gives a very little chance to win off course, but once in a while something absurd can happen.

I kept going back to Casino believing that each visit would improve me as a person (it did,, but at a cost) better at driving, $ budgeting, Time budgeting etc (but eventually that reason of it improving who i am will end).. But the worst part about going to Casino slot machine gambling isn't my $5,000 loss within the last 3 months, nor is it the TIME used in gambling that takes away from my never ending list of tv/games/restaurants to do..

@@noobiewatcherz9938 Discipline IMO is the most important to get you somewhere. It's something that most gambler don't have. They are lazy, use drugs, and hope to make by that one bet that solves all their problems. But for most of them counts that winning is the worst thing that can happen to them. It makes sure they keep on gambling and lose whatever they won. But if you lead a disciplined life, never lose your head, and see gambling as a science than maybe... There are examples very successful gamblers...
@@Aristotelezz summary: only few are addicts, while the majority are nihilistic from what i've seen at the Casino there are different types of people 1) Senior citizens who has money and has nothing else to spend money on. 2) Misfits who look like smokers/drug users who don't look like they belong anywhere else in public (so where else would they go ???). 3) Young adult groups of friends (that are too lazy or don't have time to go travel to actual far away places) ... Honestly i don't think much of them are actually addicted to gambling other than a few. What all 3 groups have in common are : I think most of them are just people who have nowhere else to go,, while at the same time being so nihilistic towards expected losses. The few that i've seen, that look like drug addicts/homeless/etc..(hogging 2 machines at once, clothes dirty, asking around for money) if they're not physically blessed to be a Sports Athlete, nor are they mentally blessed enough to even be a Doctor ,, how else would they get rich other than to gamble ? Seems like they are just there trying to reach for a little hope, while at the same time be there willingly just to have all their hope taken away (expecting losses). It's like they're there for some sort of self punishment. (these are the only people i've seen who doesn't look nihilistic when losing on gambling (at least on slot machines), they look slightly bitter slightly sad (they don't bother to hide this face being out in public).
@@jobdoneright5934 Don't be such a dick. But Barkley probably isn't that rich anymore. $40 million is what he made before taxes as a NBA player, it's not his net worth.
It took me going broke,losing my home going to two shelters with my children and wife to finally begin breaking out of that painful devilish nightmare of over 32 years. Today I am sharing my journey right here on RUclips. #Ificanyoucan209
He has a job and looks great, not strung out on drugs or anything, who gives a ish how and what a person does with their money. I'm sure he is not homeless or jobless. I do what I want with my bread, I earned it, I spend it, period.
i heard a story about Barkley and Tiger Woods having an argument in Las Vegas over tipping dealers. Charles wanted to tip big and Tiger picked up the tip and wouldn't let him. He basically took the money away from the dealer. I haven't heard good things about Tiger and tipping. Same with Scottie Pippen.
That's why you play poker. You're not playing against the house and it doesn't take much skill to beat the rake. Just don't play above your stakes/ skill level.
He's done it so many times he's lost count, that's not unusual, especially for a man as wealthy as he is. Plus I'm sure many times he was intoxicated while he was gambling lol
Jeez I lost 200 the other day and was devastated. Most I ever won was 300. And if I’m up 10 I usually try to walk away and it’s still a problem for me…
Fast Boi lool just clocked that mistake. Boy is Barkley behind on the IQ but we wouldn't be here if we were up there either Cas we failing the same way he is.
If you play long enough, the casino will always win. Apparently you are a lot better basketball player than a gambler but I am glad you found a way to get by. I wish you well.
Barkley got great treatment in casinos because he was known to take care of the dealers and wait staff. No-Tippin-Pippin on the other hand...the stories of him not tipping are nuts but the things the wait staff would do to his food and drinks must be so much worse
I hope people don’t use what Chuck is saying as advice to continue gambling as long as you feel like you’re winning, Chuck says he loses more money than he wins as do all gamblers
The thing about gambling is that it changes you. Non gambler who starts gambling will say oh i won 50 bucks im walking. And he will do it. Next time he will try again and again. If he keeps wining next walk will be at 500 at some point. Then 5000. Your 50 bucks or 500 wont be enough for walking. You will want more, because you lost more or simply want more or is not enough. No mat5er how much you win you will put it back for more. People spent money. But then what .. so you take winnings and gamble them for more... later u realise you are down soo much you lost control because your luck will not last long.
Dealers in Casinos are like Servers at a restaurant, you pay them for their service and entertainment. Their performance will make or break the entertainment value of your trip to a casino. If your motivation is not entertainment you are there for the wrong reason.You should tip them as you play not based on your win/loss necessarily. Your tips should be proportional to your average bet. Similar to restaurants, generally if you can’t afford to tip, do not go out to eat.
Makes no sense. So much waste. When I see that it makes me sick, I worked hard my entire life then developed arthritis and cannot work and now im a single dad on disability and living way below the poverty line what a million dollars would do for my little boy and i would change our lives so much.
Jeffrey Lebowski I honestly don’t think Charles ever had any fantasies about beating the casino. Problem gamblers all logically know that theyre in a losing proposition. They just can’t stop. They also don’t live in the long run. Gamblers are people that live today. They know that if they keep playing they will lose all of their money. But they don’t care. All they want is to walk out with a big win on that particular day.
Jeffrey Lebowski Which is what I said. They chase the big win and the high that comes from that. Money is an underlying component. But it’s not the motivation for gambling.
Remember this interview the next time Charles calls somebody stupid . At least I bet that person he is calling “ stupid” didn’t flush 15 million dollars down a toilet doing one of the buttdumbest things a human can do -gamble
Everyone in this comments section is so quick to accuse people of being gambling addicts. Charles Barkley is a multi-millionare NBA icon, him losing 20 million in his life from gambling isn't as bad as it sounds considering the money he has.
"But I knew, the trick with whales like Ichikawa was that they can't bet small for long. He didn't think of it as winning ten thousand, he thought of it as losing ninety thousand."--Sam "Ace" Rothstein, character in the movie "Casino," screenplay by Nicholas Pileggi.
as a gambling addict of 15+ yrs myself, i know for a fact many dealers are gambler addicts tgemself, there's this asian guy told me like 10 yrs ago , he was in the process of divorce, been work in A.C for the last 25 yrs and have nothing to show for ,still struggle with mortgage payment from time to time....
@@tommyfu9271 They can be replaced my a machine. Many of them already are because you have online gambling now lol. Even at land based casinos, they can easily have machines take place of a whiny dealer complaining they aren't getting tipped enough.
Hey guys , I privately deal. And I did a poker game for nfl players and they play blinds 100-200..minimum chip is a hundred, they would tip me 1-200 dollars a hand..when it’s that much money on the table...tip your dealers! 100k is 10% of a million so it’s definitely within reason
I think True Gamblers, Not Pros. Actually Play to lose the thrill of getting the next fix, being an underdog and playing from the bottom actually gets their adrenaline, mind and heart racing!
Imagine having that couple million and instead of giving it to a casino you change someone's life that's struggling...He drove through Philadelphia...I'd get more of a thrill paying someone's rent or buy them a small home.... greedy
It's Charles' money and he can do whatever he wants with it, but regardless of how much money I'd made, I don't think I'd want to throw it away in a casino. Instead of gambling, he could spend time working on his golf game. ⛳

They are lazy, use drugs, and hope to make by that one bet that solves all their problems. But for most of them counts that winning is the worst thing that can happen to them. It makes sure they keep on gambling and lose whatever they won. But if you lead a disciplined life, never lose your head, and see gambling as a science than maybe... There are examples very successful gamblers...

summary: only few are addicts, while the majority are nihilistic
from what i've seen at the Casino there are different types of people 1) Senior citizens who has money and has nothing else to spend money on. 2) Misfits who look like smokers/drug users who don't look like they belong anywhere else in public (so where else would they go ???). 3) Young adult groups of friends (that are too lazy or don't have time to go travel to actual far away places) ...
Honestly i don't think much of them are actually addicted to gambling other than a few.
What all 3 groups have in common are : I think most of them are just people who have nowhere else to go,, while at the same time being so nihilistic towards expected losses.
The few that i've seen, that look like drug addicts/homeless/etc..(hogging 2 machines at once, clothes dirty, asking around for money) if they're not physically blessed to be a Sports Athlete, nor are they mentally blessed enough to even be a Doctor ,, how else would they get rich other than to gamble ? Seems like they are just there trying to reach for a little hope, while at the same time be there willingly just to have all their hope taken away (expecting losses). It's like they're there for some sort of self punishment. (these are the only people i've seen who doesn't look nihilistic when losing on gambling (at least on slot machines), they look slightly bitter slightly sad (they don't bother to hide this face being out in public).
For someone worth 40 million dollars, losing 15 million is a terrible thing.
@@jobdoneright5934 Don't be such a dick. But Barkley probably isn't that rich anymore. $40 million is what he made before taxes as a NBA player, it's not his net worth.
@@MrDodger3222 his tnn xontact is about to renew. He is making millions annually from it. He is expected a multi million dollar contract.
@@MrDodger3222 but I'm sorry I offended your boyfriend I know you got to protect him.
Gotta love how G wants to scream but holds it all back.
I dont know why but i really like graham's personality haha, puts a smile on my face
Gambling is a scam. It's designed to get someone to constantly chase losses and gamble more until all money is gone.
I work in casinos for almost 15yrs now, and thats a propper attitude...
I stood behind Charles & MJ @ Ceasers place during the Edgewood Golf tournament Lake Tahoe 1999 & watched them bet 5- 15 K per hand on Blackjack.....
Dana White: Hold my whiskey
Chuck may be honest, but he needs to be a little smarter.
It took me going broke,losing my home going to two shelters with my children and wife to finally begin breaking out of that painful devilish nightmare of over 32 years. Today I am sharing my journey right here on RUclips. #Ificanyoucan209
He has a job and looks great, not strung out on drugs or anything, who gives a ish how and what a person does with their money. I'm sure he is not homeless or jobless. I do what I want with my bread, I earned it, I spend it, period.
i heard a story about Barkley and Tiger Woods having an argument in Las Vegas over tipping dealers. Charles wanted to tip big and Tiger picked up the tip and wouldn't let him. He basically took the money away from the dealer. I haven't heard good things about Tiger and tipping. Same with Scottie Pippen.
You only quit gambling when your money quits on you
If he has million to play with - he's already rich -
why risk giving it to a casino?
It doesn't make sense.
He likes the sensation of winning I guess.
He's exactly right when a little bit at a time👍
The house always wins. You're better off winning money by putting your money on an index fund.
with leverage? 1:20 ?:D
Starlord it's for fun, gambling dip shit. You don't got money to waste like that.
That's why you play poker. You're not playing against the house and it doesn't take much skill to beat the rake. Just don't play above your stakes/ skill level.
@@TheGuyCalledX But you can also be playing against some big card sharks too.
@@MrDodger3222 then don't play against big card sharks? Those guys usually aren't playing 1/2 at the Bike lol
I never understood gambling. I hate it when i lose and im not happy when i win.
So crazy.Never understood gambling at all.
always love charles, so honest
Not trying to win a lot, just trying to win, is the only strategy in poker that works.
I lost 1 million 10-20 times?!?! That's a huge range. That's absolutely crazy that he doesn't even know.
He's done it so many times he's lost count, that's not unusual, especially for a man as wealthy as he is. Plus I'm sure many times he was intoxicated while he was gambling lol
Jeez I lost 200 the other day and was devastated. Most I ever won was 300. And if I’m up 10 I usually try to walk away and it’s still a problem for me…
Charles said it, I would extend it: gambling is for idiots
the only way out to your gambling habits is finishing all the money you had. No more money..no more gambling.
Dude said “75 hundred thousand” xD
i think he meant 75 - 100 thousand.
Fast Boi lool just clocked that mistake. Boy is Barkley behind on the IQ but we wouldn't be here if we were up there either Cas we failing the same way he is.
If you play long enough, the casino will always win.
Apparently you are a lot better basketball player than a gambler but I am glad you found a way to get by. I wish you well.
Barkley got great treatment in casinos because he was known to take care of the dealers and wait staff. No-Tippin-Pippin on the other hand...the stories of him not tipping are nuts but the things the wait staff would do to his food and drinks must be so much worse
I hope people don’t use what Chuck is saying as advice to continue gambling as long as you feel like you’re winning, Chuck says he loses more money than he wins as do all gamblers
Would love to see u interview norm Macdonald
If you have money it's not that big a deal because you'll get more but if you lose your entire life savings as an average joe, that's devastating.
The thing about gambling is that it changes you. Non gambler who starts gambling will say oh i won 50 bucks im walking. And he will do it. Next time he will try again and again. If he keeps wining next walk will be at 500 at some point. Then 5000. Your 50 bucks or 500 wont be enough for walking. You will want more, because you lost more or simply want more or is not enough. No mat5er how much you win you will put it back for more. People spent money. But then what .. so you take winnings and gamble them for more... later u realise you are down soo much you lost control because your luck will not last long.
Dealers in Casinos are like Servers at a restaurant, you pay them for their service and entertainment. Their performance will make or break the entertainment value of your trip to a casino. If your motivation is not entertainment you are there for the wrong reason.You should tip them as you play not based on your win/loss necessarily.
Your tips should be proportional to your average bet.
Similar to restaurants, generally if you can’t afford to tip, do not go out to eat.
"What do you like most about gambling?"
"Winning" That's when you knew this was about to be hilarious 😂
Makes no sense. So much waste. When I see that it makes me sick, I worked hard my entire life then developed arthritis and cannot work and now im a single dad on disability and living way below the poverty line what a million dollars would do for my little boy and i would change our lives so much.
Steve Wynn said on 60 Minutes that no one ever beats the casino
You seriously don’t need a casino magnate to tell you that though
StuUngar clearly a lot of people do. Charles Barkley for example.
He has a serious skewed understanding of what it means to come out ahead
Jeffrey Lebowski I honestly don’t think Charles ever had any fantasies about beating the casino. Problem gamblers all logically know that theyre in a losing proposition. They just can’t stop.
They also don’t live in the long run. Gamblers are people that live today. They know that if they keep playing they will lose all of their money. But they don’t care. All they want is to walk out with a big win on that particular day.
StuUngar for many the higher the risk the higher they get, the money is actually secondary
Jeffrey Lebowski Which is what I said. They chase the big win and the high that comes from that. Money is an underlying component. But it’s not the motivation for gambling.
Remember this interview the next time Charles calls somebody stupid .
At least I bet that person he is calling “ stupid” didn’t flush 15 million dollars down a toilet doing one of the buttdumbest things a human can do -gamble
Everyone in this comments section is so quick to accuse people of being gambling addicts. Charles Barkley is a multi-millionare NBA icon, him losing 20 million in his life from gambling isn't as bad as it sounds considering the money he has.
This guy is so engaging, hard not to not pay attention to his words.
When you go gambling, play to have fun, NOT to win.
Sir Charles, everything the OG says is unscripted, constantly speaking the truth
Why would you gamble if you’re a multi millionaire.
He hit on my wife's cousin who works as a cocktail waitress in Reno. Of course, he didn't do it himself, he had one of his entourage do it.
"But I knew, the trick with whales like Ichikawa was that they can't bet small for long. He didn't think of it as winning ten thousand, he thought of it as losing ninety thousand."--Sam "Ace" Rothstein, character in the movie "Casino," screenplay by Nicholas Pileggi.
When chuck said winning he looked like Donald Trump 🤣🤣
charles Barkley is a good tipper!!!!! that so awesome that he times about the working people!!!!
God bless Charles Barkley for tipping $75,000 to a $100,000 as a former dealer I love that!
as a gambling addict of 15+ yrs myself, i know for a fact many dealers are gambler addicts tgemself, there's this asian guy told me like 10 yrs ago , he was in the process of divorce, been work in A.C for the last 25 yrs and have nothing to show for ,still struggle with mortgage payment from time to time....
of course you do. casino dealers are some of the most entitled people in the world while being basically useless
@@tommyfu9271 They can be replaced my a machine. Many of them already are because you have online gambling now lol. Even at land based casinos, they can easily have machines take place of a whiny dealer complaining they aren't getting tipped enough.
Hey guys , I privately deal. And I did a poker game for nfl players and they play blinds 100-200..minimum chip is a hundred, they would tip me 1-200 dollars a hand..when it’s that much money on the table...tip your dealers! 100k is 10% of a million so it’s definitely within reason
How many videos you made of Barkley or is it one long one broken up?
‘That’s a lot of money’.... Graham had just paid off his Pontiac Grand Am
Dealers don't tip us when we lose. Somehow I still end up tipping them. What's wrong with us?
@2:27 how much is that
Good for him. Yes, if u win, tip the dealers. They get paid almost nothing like waiters
I think True Gamblers, Not Pros. Actually Play to lose the thrill of getting the next fix, being an underdog and playing from the bottom actually gets their adrenaline, mind and heart racing!
He never gives exact amounts. TAXES! lol.
Exaggerate your losses!
How come this guy gets this host ? Who’s s Graham ?!
Imagine having that couple million and instead of giving it to a casino you change someone's life that's struggling...He drove through Philadelphia...I'd get more of a thrill paying someone's rent or buy them a small home.... greedy
Percentages. Just don't understand people who bet when the odds aren't in their favour
0:06 Charlie Sheen impression
It's Charles' money and he can do whatever he wants with it, but regardless of how much money I'd made, I don't think I'd want to throw it away in a casino. Instead of gambling, he could spend time working on his golf game. ⛳
He was also making 10 million or more a season and that doesn't include endorsement deals!! What we consider a fortune to him was chump change !!
No gamble no future.
-young man
Last time I gambled I was up 4 dollars and left happy.
I'm at a casino having fun...When I win I tip 10 percent.. The dealers are there working, helping me to have fun.
I don't tip because their employer already supplies them their wages they earn.
So I think it's clear Graham Bensinger is a cheap tipper or doesn't tip at all. His reaction says it all.
Ah so that’s my problem... I just need to win around 50k and then drop out instead...
