Is Michael Phelps ready to dive into the world of poker?
August 16, 2012
The funny thing about being in the spotlight is that gossip seems to follow you like a swarm of bees that just got their hive ramshackled. Michael Phelps, he of the designation as the most decorated Olympian ever, recently stamped his name in the history books at the 2012 London Olympics. Apparently, even that is old news now.
In addition to his status as the world’s best swimmer, Phelps is also known as an avid poker player. Or as some people would describe it, “the dude’s obsessed with poker”. So much so, it turns out, that the Daily Mail is quoting a National Inquirer story that some of Phelps’ friends are concerned about the swimmer’s so-called “gambling secret”.
“All Michael thinks about is gambling,’ a poker-playing friend of Phelps told the National Inquirer. That would seem to be fine if not for the worry of some of his friends who believe that his uber competitive nature could potentially be disastrous in the poker table, especially if the time comes where he begins to chase loses.
