10 athletes with a costly gambling problem

2. Lenny Dykstra

Lenny Dykstra is a story all by himself. Nicknamed “Dude” before The Big Lebowski took it over, Dykstra was an avid gambler who at one point was offering out financial advice to people (for a price) and is now rumored to be living out of his car.

The man gambled, did some time, and the end result of his story is one that should honestly scare anyone away from gambling. You can be pulling in the millions, but if you play it wrong, you end up sleeping in your car even though you were once a professional athlete. It’s quite sad, but in all these cases, they dealt that card themselves – pun very much intended. Poor life choices lead to a poor life.

Remember that kids!
