Charles Barkley told ESPN yesterday he has a gambling problem, estimating that he's lost about $10 million over the years. Then last night he said he doesn't have a gambling problem.
Remember, this is the guy who claims he was misquoted in his autobiography.
"My agent has really worked with me to try to get it where I can go and gamble and have fun," Barkley told ESPN. "That's easier said than done. Do I have a gambling problem? Yeah, I do have a gambling problem. But I don't consider it a problem because I can afford to gamble."
