During an interview with ESPN, Barkley revealed that he won $750,000 playing blackjack and betting on the Indianapolis Colts.

Moreover, he also revealed that he lost $2.5 million in six hours the year before.

“It’s a stupid, bad habit. I have a problem,” Barkley said of his gambling back then. “But the problem is when you can’t afford it. I can afford to gamble, and I didn’t kill myself when I lost two and a half million dollars. I like to gamble, and I’m not going to quit.”

During Barkley's appearance on Dan Patrick's show in 2017, he also shared Jordan's craze over gambling

“We’d be playing golf with certain people, a couple hundred dollars a hole, nothing big, and he’d be playing some guy for $100,000. He’s like, ‘Charles, pick that up.’ I’m like, ‘This putt is for $200.’ He’s like, ‘Pick that up, Charles, get out of my way, you’re in my line.’ I’m like, ‘How much is that putt for?’ He’s like, ‘$300,000.’ I said, ‘Let me get out of your line.’ It was crazy man. It was crazy.“
