Charles Barkley likes to gamble, so it’s no shock that he is placing money on the Super Bowl.
The hall-of-fame player and current NBA analyst revealed this week he’s dropping $100,000 on the Philidelphia Eagles to win the game. Barkley discussed his Super Bowl plans during an interview with the Steam Room podcast, earlier this week.
“Me and 12 of my friends go to Vegas every year for the Super Bowl,” Barkley said on the show. “There’s a good chance I’ma be pulling an all-nighter … Sunday into Monday because we’re playing golf Saturday and Sunday, the Super Bowl starts around 3, 3:30 Pacific Time. So by the time the game ends, I’ll probably gamble all night Sunday and go straight to the airport.”
“Probably a hundred thousand…” Barkley said. “I’ll probably bet about a hundred grand on the game… Go Eagles. E-A-G-L-E-S!”
Coming into the Super Bowl, the Eagles have an edge on the money line and are currently favored by 1.5 points over the Chiefs.
