10 athletes with a costly gambling problem

4. John Daly

This golf champ is getting tossed in here right now to make a very valid point: gambling is not about a particular sport or nationality or any such thing. It stems from these people coming into massive amounts of money and needing a thrill to get them off. One would never assume golfer John Dalywould have been a compulsive gambler, but they would be wrong.

As a matter of fact, he outshines most of the other athletes on this list. How? Losing SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS in gambling across a little over a decade. It certainly makes one look at golf a little differently. It shows you no one is immune to the gambling bug.
