@@chrisolivo6591That's ridiculous. Activity availability has nothing to do with addiction. In fact, every official advertisement for gambling is legally mandated to inform you of the dangers of gambling addiction. Same with cigarettes warning you of cancer, condoms warning you of STDs and lawn equipment warning you of injury. "Hey. There's danger involved with what you're about to do with our products. Make sure you know what you're doing." You need to respect people have personal accountability instead of blaming spokespeople.
Unfortunately, every national sports show, regional sports show, radio show and even the local news is brought to you by online gambling now. I think we're years away from seeing a new generation of gambling addicts who will have ruined their lives. All my coworkers seem to be talking about all the online gambling they do now. It's insane.
No difference from Sports being sponsored by alcohol and energy drink companies for decades. Only thing now is that the gambling being promoted by legitimate parties is regulated.
This is very true. I thought that once gambling was legalized, gamblers would continue to gamble and maybe casuals would place a few more bets than usual, but I was wrong. I see almost everyone at work placing prop-bets, checking lines, etc. It's crazy.
What short memories people have. Does nobody remember when Phil switched from Titleist to Callaway? Part of the deal was said to include Callaway paying off millions that Phil owed in gambling debts. Not 100 million, but still a substantial amount.
@@sparksdrinker5650 So does stress, anxiety and depression that gambling addiction causes. Working until you die because you gambled your 401K and your house, and your bank account away isn't a healthy way of life either.
I am fine with legalized gambling, but they should be firewalled from sports leagues (college or pro) AND the journalists/networks which cover those sports.
@IDontBuyIt50 I confirmed my hatred of Nicolas cage once he had an unholy union with my other most hated entity: Math. As soon as that “Knowing” movie came out I was convinced he was the Devil incarnate
@IDontBuyIt50 Same team, that’s all that matters. Just a wild guess that he plays a befuddled vampire. Seeing how all he does is play a befuddled weatherman, or befuddled magician, or befuddled arms dealer
Pete Rose shouldn’t have to do that because his gambling didn’t create his numbers. His talent did. If the Trashtros can keep a title, Pete Rose should be in the damn HOF. Shoeless Joe too.
@@sebastiangallegoceba And nobody knows for sure how much money Phil gambled away. Some guy coming out pf prison writes about Phil. Why would anyone believe that? He's looking for a fast buck.
The arrogance, ego, and judgement in which they speak of how another man is spending his own money is laughable. Too bad the world isn’t as perfect as these 🤡
I just think this online gambling that comes right into everybody's home is going to make things even worse for gamblers. I think it's going to increase the amount of gambling problems and many more peoples lives or down the drain. Fortunately I've never been a gambler but I've known some and it's not very pretty to see what it causes. Just throwing away hard earned money and never getting it back.
Gambling has become what all sports are about. More so for the public than the athletes themselves. But the athletes are not spared from this obsession either.
PERSPECTIVE!!! If he bet a billion and only lost 100 million, HE DIDN"T DO BAD!!! It's like you and me betting $10,000 and losing $100. THAT IS NOT BAD!!!! PERSPECTIVE!!! This just shows you how much money he had and THAT is what makes people mad.
What if it’s a smear campaign because he went to the liv. They said Jordan had a gamboling problem. Jordan bet a lot of money for you and I. But to him is was like 20 dollars to us.
So the writer of the book only used details about Phil Mickelson's gambling because Phil let him down in a court case. That's why he kept records of his bets from day 1, right? Please.
How does he have a sickness? He’s not broke. You have a problem when you have gambled more than you own, and you’ve had to sell your personal items to get out of debt. Just because some guy wrote it in a book doesn’t make it true, it just makes people buy the book.
you don’t lose every bet. you win some. it’s like if i go to vegas with $5000, I may bet a total of $100k over the weekend. doesn’t mean i ever had $100k in my pocket
I hear ya, but they aren’t saying he shouldn’t bet his own money. They are talking about the large sums of money he has bet. You have to admit if this is true beating a billion in total is a sickness. I don’t care if he won every bet, to bet that much in total is bananas.
no point of busting phil's knees if you are a mob boss, he is more useful playing golf, if he hits the jackpot, its all over the news and you can show up at his door to collect his prize money........ plus the sponsorships .......... only an idiot like trump would chop the knees off phil and end up recovering zilch thereafter......
@@jamesmerritt3267True story I went to the men's locker room to change to my work clothes. Their were over ten guys with there phones making bets. And four guys doing the same thing in the cafeteria.
Hey genius.... Phil didn't bet a billion dollars in a day. He bet millions and millions over many years, which ADDED UP to a billion dollars gambled. Nitiwt.
I was in Vegas a few years ago and playing in the VIP room Michael Jordan was playing at his own table. We were playing awhile I just asked the VIP Concierge how does Jordan do. She just said sometimes he wins sometimes he loses. I asked and tonite? She smiled and said not so good. I said 100,000 she smiled but my dealer piped up and said millions. My dealer was removed promptly. So why is this only a Phil issue. I know Tiger gambles and drops millions sometimes too.
If he has the money why not ? Phil makes about 50-60 million a year losing few hundred thousand is not big deal for him. If i am making that kind of money i would gamble big as well. Rich is way too vanilla.
I hope Phil quits gambling. Meanwhile, the LIV guys must be laughing at the PGA toddlers playing in very hot heatwise Memphis for the first week of the playoffs, IN LONG PANTS. Sweating like PIGS. You know the PGA guys are pissed, seeing Bryson shoot a 58 in comfortable cool SHORTS.
I watched the practice round with Phil, Bryson and their partners and Phil wasnt the playful Phil I've known. As far as betting $2K thats like me playing $2 front/back/ and match $6 is the most you can lose. I also think a billion dollars is conflated. However he does have the gambling bug in a bad way. I think Amie has probably controled a lot of the money so the family is fine. Phils mad money is of huge purportions.
Rich, you hate Phil bottom line. Why not call out Tiger and all his CRAZY issues over the years he has had. One day you might look back and say Phil saved the PGA....Love ya Rich but get it together.
Yeah these numbers are being presented by some guy named Billy Walters who just came out of the blue and is putting them in his own book. Very high chances they are skewed because this Billy Walters guy is clearing going for money and publicity for himself.
Did I miss something... Is Phil's family living in poverty? Does his wife have to turn tricks just to pay the mortgage? This is another non-issue where everyone, including Rich, thinks their opinion matters.
It’s not just about money. It’s about the swings in mood, anxiety, depression and other addictions that come with it. He just released a statement today about not being present with his family bc he’s busy gambling
Yeah I'm sure the life long sponsorship with Callaway wasn't because he won 6 majors and is a hall of fame golfer or anything. I'm sure it was allllll because they supported his gambling addiction. Get real

Sadly its due to an addiction to the delusion that you wont lose and if you do, you’ll gain it back. Even if you never lose, it’s still greed and egregious
I always thought he was a fake. Fake smile, fake persona, fake family man. Too many people think money is everything in life, in the end does it matter? I’m done with the PGA, and everything Saudi Arabia has touched, that includes TFG.
To me if you are a professional sports player and you gamble in sports while you are still active, you should be suspended for a long period plain and simple .
Betting a billion dollars sounds and is astounding but you must understand he was 'generally' betting the same money over and over (accounting for wins and losses). Phil has a problem but he's very wealthy and these 'raw' figures are misleading. If you sit down at a blackjack table with $10 million and bet $100,000 per hand at an average of 50 hands per hour you will bet $5 million per hour. If you manage to play for 10 hours and break even you will have bet $50 million yet still have your original $10 million. Having said that, the math dictates that If you play long enough you will go broke.
