Wayne Rooney loses £65,000 in Gambling | IXGAMES
Wayne Rooney lost an astonishing £65,000 in just two hours after hitting a casino at four in the morning. The soccer hero went on the betting spree after flying home from scoring twice for England in the World Cup qualifier in Belarus. His losing streak only ended when the club closed at 6am. When Wayne walked in to the Casino – a few people congratulated him on how well he had played. He went straight to a blackjack table and started to play hands at the maximum £500 a time. He was happy to chat to people and he had a permanent smile on his face. But he was quickly into a serious losing streak. At first he was joking with the dealer that he must have stepped in some dog dirt on his way in. 🙂 
He switched to roulette and put hundreds of pounds on each spin of the wheel to try and recoup some of his losses. But his luck didn’t change. The club closed at 6am and he was £65,000 down. The dealer was mortified, but everyone who gambles knows the risks and Wayne Rooney is no different. (When he left, he had a face like thunder. But at least he can afford to lose that sort of money). In November last year (2007), Manchester United stars went on a £250,000 gambling spree at the same casino to celebrate Rio Ferdinand’s birthday. And two years ago the Sunday Mirror revealed how Rooney ran up debts of £700,000 in a secret England team dressing room gambling ring.
