Well what do you know, celebrities are actually human. That means they too fancy a roll at the dice tables now and then, a hit on a smartphone casino<\/a>, or a poker playing session and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while\nthere are lots of celebrities who like to tempt fate by gambling, few actually\nsucceed in pulling it off and walking away with some serious moolah. With that\nbeing the case here are the most successful celebrity gamblers of all time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50 Cent Is The Name!- t<\/strong>his brother has nine or more lives and has\nsurvived multiple attempts on his life. He is also something of a far-thinking\nbeing and in 2014 unleashed his fifth album on the global populace. The album\nwas fittingly titled \u2018Animal Ambition\u201d and apart from possessing fiery lyrics\nwas remarkable in the fact that its buyers had the option of paying for it via\nBitcoin. At that time, Bitcoin was barely known and sales of the album netted\nhim around $500,000 in the cryptocurrency, which translates to more than $7\nmillion right now. Cryptocurrency matters apart, 50 Cent loves to bet on sports\nand once scooped up roughly $500,000 by betting on an NFL game way back in\n2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affleck Strikes It, Rich!-<\/strong> Ben Affleck happens to be a critically acclaimed\nactor and director and has so far been the recipient of no less than 2 Oscars.\nHe is also a very good poker player and in 2004 won $356,400 in the California\nState Poker Championship. With that win, he gained qualification to the final\ntournament of the very prestigious World Poker Tour. 2014 appears to be his\nmost remarkable year, with this handsome fella winning so many blackjack games\nat a Vegas hotel that he got banned for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money Money Money! <\/strong>Floyd Mayweather is quite the boxer and has never\nbeen defeated in the ring. He is also the champion gambling winner whose bets\nhave paid off to a very spectacular extent. Overall, this brash pugilist has\nwins of more than $10 million via sports betting and never hesitates to puts\nhis money right where his mouth is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ever-Victorious Victoria- <\/strong>Victoria Coren-Mitchell<\/a> is a presenter, writer and top-class poker player. She is the very first woman to record a win on the European Poker Tour and in 2014 won the European Poker Tour San Remo main event. She has so far won around $2 million playing poker games and is a regular at London\u2019s Victoria Casino where she plays Texas Hold\u2019Em just like she invented it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magical Brown Does It Again<\/strong>! Now, Derren Brown knows more about magic than\nnearly everyone else and is an expert illusionist who can make anyone doubt his\nor her own senses. He had a very sterling but abrupt professional gambling\ncareer, simply because he was too good at what he does and never lost a bet. As\na result, he has been banned in some casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above very\nsuccessful gamblers are merely a sample, with a few more celebrities able to\nstay famous for some reason and at the same time gamble very successfully.\nHowever, there are times when the fun and thrills prove too addictive, which is\nwhy we all should be careful when gambling regardless of if we are rightly\nfamous or not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
