If he bets like that on a consistant basis I am sure he does not have as much money as people thinks he does. I remember the Mandalay Bay incident, I was actually in there that day.
Basically he was betting with money (credit) he didn't have anyways. THAT is what caused the firing. He was betting with table chips credit WHICH DOES NOT transfer to the sportsbooks. (unless you have the chips inhand) but then it wouldn't be credit now would it?
People hear stufflike this and go crazy. Depending on where he went and who he bet it with, it could have ALL been on credit through a few places. Who knows?
Barkley is a piece of sh it anyways so who realy cares?
