Boxing’s bad boy Adrien Broner has picked the most controversial subject to talk about from his list of problems that affected his game and social life throughout his career. The Cincinnati man has fell prey to volumes of complications due to gambling addiction in the past but he has done nothing that could have helped him to overcome the trouble. Instead the 33-year-old shared his conquests on the social media platform. On several occasions, he even posted thousand-dollar Super Bowl bets. The previous week he talked about betting a chunk of money on the upcoming fight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. But in a recent post, the man tried to clear the air when it came to his gambling habits.

He wrote on his Instagram, “I’m go tell everybody right now I’m not a professional gambler I’m a professional boxer I just got lucky on some games. Now if y’all go get some picks from me just know there is not a 100% chance for you to win just roll with the punches and put in another bet.”
