Golf star John Daly’s staggering $55m gambling loss

GOLFER John Daly would spend whole days in a casino, playing 10 blackjack hands at a time while risking between $5000 and $15,000 per hand. Amazingly, he has no regrets.

THINK about how much money you may have lost gambling, and get ready to feel better about yourself.

In an interview on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger”, golfer John Daly reveals he has incurred between $55 million and $57 million in gambling losses in his life.

Daly realised the ridiculously large number when doing research for his 2007 biography.

Amazingly, Daly thought he had lost between $20 million and $25 million, but he was way off. Even more amazingly, he has no regrets.

“I should say I regret it,” Daly said. “But I did it, I move on from it, I had a lot of fun doing it.”

Daly also takes risks with his pants.

According to Golf News Net, Daly would spend whole days in a casino, playing 10 blackjack hands at a time while risking between $5000 and $15,000 per hand.

Daly, who has two major wins in his career, currently plays overseas and sporadically on the PGA Tour.
