Barkley: i have a Bookie on the Side, 'FanDuel Just let's me Bet a Lot' Despite 38 U.S. states providing legal sports wagering, Charles Barkley requires a side bookie to stay up to date with his high-stakes gaming. - The NBA analyst has a long history of betting. - Barkley lost a bet on the Toronto Maple Leafs to win Game 7 vs. the Florida Panthers. The TNT basketball analyst - who frequently makes FanDuel parlay picks on broadcasts - said on Thursday night that the legal sportsbook will not take the kind of action he chooses. "FanDuel only lets me wager so much, so I got to have a bookmaker on the side," Barkley stated throughout an interview on TruTV's alternate broadcast of Game 2 between the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes. Barkley, a huge hockey advocate and noted fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, informed host Paul Bissonnette and comic Will Arnett that he positioned a wager on the Maple Leafs to win Game 7 of their series with the Florida Panthers, who quickly routed Toronto 6-1 last Sunday. Charles Barkley's gaming is apparently too much for FanDuel to contain.

"I thought when they returned to Toronto for Game 7, (a Maple Leafs win) is a lock," Barkley said on the broadcast. "That's what I informed my bookmaker. To see them lose like that, it was demoralizing as a fan." When he pointed out saying that to his bookmaker, Bissonnette and Arnett asked each other if they had one and joked that maybe they needed to "go halves on a bookie." That's when Barkley revealed that he wasn't able to put down the wager he wanted with FanDuel.
