He doesn't strike me as the type of guy that sits in the big game and shoots off wads of cash at the poker table so I don't think it's that. Until something is shown where he has a habit of blowing money at other games or sports betting I think hes still got a big bit of his money left. I think the history of kids these days winning millions and having nothing to show for it and going busto makes people cynical about stuff like this but if there was someone I would buy this story about it would be him
