Barkley told The Seth Davis Show this week that sometimes he would win a million dollars in a weekend, but that he lost a million about three times more often.  Ten times, Barkley claimed he won a million dollars.  Do the math at three times that in lossss and one would arrive at a number of $20 to $30 million.

“When I go to Vegas now, I try to win a couple hundred thousand dollars. Or if I lose a couple hundred thousand dollars I quit, and still have a good trip. It’s like anything. If you do it in moderation, it’s alright.”

He quit gambling for a time but still loves the action.

“I just want to do it in moderation,” he says.  “Gambling’s great,” Barkley reiterated.
