I find his story very believable, and if he is 'addicted' to poker it's a pretty harmless addiction. As he says, he plays relatively small tournaments, and $50 a night on poker is not a lot of money at all. How much do others spend on TVs, booze, whatever. It's what he likes to do best.
I know he's a highly paid footballer and everything, but $50 a night is $350 a week which is around $18,000 a year. And I bet many nights, he doesn't stop at $50. That's a hell of a lot of money for most people, and I'd be disappointed if he was throwing that much money down the drain when it could be used for much better purposes. Gambling is such a selfish habit and I applaud those who have not only beaten the addiction, but those who avoid it in the first place.
You are presuming he bets each night of the year, and never wins, and ignoring the fact perhaps he gets a sponsorship of $18,000+ a year to be playing 888's poker.
