Update: Antoine Walker is Broke?

Antoine Walker–AKA Employee Number 8–is the latest in the long line of professional athletes running into gambling problems . He Antoine Walker was arrested Wednesday  in Harrah’s Casino in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. He is currently facing three felony counts of writing bad checks.

Who does this guy think he is anyway, John Daly?

That might be better than Pete Rose.

He should have learned something by the abundantly publicized events of Charles Barkley skipping town on the hook for $400,000.

If you took notice of Walker’s shot selection during his career, it makes sense seeing him accrue close to $1 million of gambling debts. He rarely saw a shot he didn’t like or end up taking. It seems his gambling habits are parallel in nature. Which leads to many bad decisions with money on the line.

A better question is how can Walker, who has made $99,287,540  during his career, bounce the checks to Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, and Red Rock Resort totaling over $800,000? How can’t he pay that off?

The bigger question is how much more has he lost prior to being arrested Wednesday?

Did he gamble with the folks he played golf with on Thursday? Seems it was no hassle ponying up the $135,000 cash for bail. Did he just get lazy? Maybe he wanted to pretend it didn’t happen, like it was a bad dream or something, like if he went away, it would go away. Not how it works though.

What would be the over/under on when Antoine Walker will be broke?

Quite possible Walker’s career may have to continue in European League near you.
