Getting your player ready...
TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who vowed on the air last June he wasn’t going to gamble for “the next year or two,” is hedging his bets. “I’m going to start gambling again whenever I get ready, to be honest with you. . . . I like to gamble,” he said. If he does gamble, he might want to place a bet on himself to win the celebrity golf tournament July 17-19 in Nevada. Harrah’s race and sports book has him at a 499-1 underdog, though he won’t pay off as much as he has in the past. Barkley was a 500-1 longshot to win the 2008 event. “You know what? I’m going down,” Barkley said about the odds. The Associated Press
