Oh, this could be rich...

Report today in the sports media.

Phil Mickelson has apparently, according to a book about to be released by a professional gambler and this information sourced to a sportsbook (and, at this level, I can't think a legal one -- the author claims he gave Mickelson off-shore betting information in 2008) with three damning allegations:

  • 2010-2014:  858 bets of $220,000 and 1,115 bets of $110,000 (the reason being that those bets are probably at -110 odds and win 200K and 100K respectively).
  • A 30-year record of $100,000,000 in losses, with over a billion dollars (yes, B) in handle.
  • And perhaps the most damning of all, Mickelson tried to place a bet through the author of the book for the 2012 Ryder Cup for Team USA to win.
    • Mickelson, as you probably well know, was ON Team USA.
