Sir Charles Thinks Daly's Problem Is exaggerated

PGA golf John Daly, has lots of problems, as he states in his new book "My Life in and Out of the Rough, The Truth Behind All That Bull**** You Think You Know about Me." And gambling is just one of those problems.

Yesterday, retired basketball star Charles Barkley stated in a television interview that he himself has gambled away 10 million dollars and suffers with an 'habit' of high-stakes betting. Barkley says his gambling problem is not really a 'problem' because his agent worked out a system long ago to ensure he would always have plenty of money to live on

Barkley doubts the claim in Daly's new book that he has lost 50 million to 60 million dollars in gambling, because:

If he has lost 60 million, he would have to have made 200 million and I don't
think he has made 200 million in his career

Daly has in fact won 8.775 million dollars in his US PGA career but earned million more from endorsements.
