He lost ten million bucks a year gambling?
Maybe he should take up checkers or something.
Why do I not like Michelson’s Saudi deal? My gut just doesn’t like it, even though it’s Michelson’s private business.
Idiot.
Invest your earnings and budget on the income from the investments.
I wish I could earn millions of dollars/year to do just that.
Ever talk to a guy and he starts with the putting motions, no ball or club, pretending to set up a put.. you know.
A fun thing to do in response is to pantomime bowling. Laugh riot.
How embarrassing. Pinkos can't spell.
It’s more Greg Norman’s deal. Mickelson was just a shill... a really, really, really bad shill.

Phil, we need to talk! 40 million dollars! Dude you have a problem, a major one.
I once lost 83 straight hands at blackjack. The odds against that are stupendous (Although I never bothered to calculate them.) Until that time, I was actually a slight winner overall in my gambling.
I took it as a ‘sign’, even though my bets had been small and I only lost a couple of hundred dollars in that session. Never gambled since.
I guess Phil Mickelson is immune to ‘signs’, or even just common sense.
Some people should not have access to the ATM.
I have detailed knowledge of an Indian-owned casino where one can sell ones house for cash. At 2:00 AM. It takes about 15 minutes.
I know a nurse who left her paid-for condo for a night of “fun” and came home to a rental.
True story
I was at Stateline Nevada in Tahoe and I was at a slot machine and I won $150, I proceeded to the Porsche that was attached to another slot machine and proceeded to divest my newly earned $150 into the slot machine to see if I could drive home in the 928.
I was about done shoveling money into this machine when this gorgeous blonde came up to me and put her hand on my shoulder and said “would you like to have some fun tonight?”
I had two tokens left, I looked at her and I looked at the two tokens and I dropped one token in and pulled the lever nothing happened, I took my last token put it in the machine pulled the lever and again, nothing happened and I looked sadly at her I said “sorry honey not tonight” she gave me this disgusting looking walked off in a huff... sorta. I ventured over to black jack, lost a bit more, we gathered up the carload and headed back to Two Rock.
That was the last time I’ve been in a casino and the last time I really ever gambled except for the occasional pool or Super Bowl.
What were his winnings?
Kinda like the old story:
Q: How did you do in Vegas?
A: You be the judge: I drove into Vegas in my $20,000 Cadillac, and went back home in a $100,000.....
.... Greyhound bus.
(You can tell that it is an old story because of the prices.)
More money then brains!
