A lot of us tend to play football as a means to unwind. We will go with our friends down to the local park in order to have a kickabout and maybe a small game in order to have fun and let go of some of the stresses of everyday life. As such, because so many of us play the sport as a hobby, we forget about the fact that footballers have their own hobbies outside of the sport as well. A lot of your favourite footballers are actually big fans of heading to the casino and letting their hair down by taking part in a bit of gambling. Are you curious as to who these footballers are? They will be discussed in more detail below.
Would You Like to Get Involved?
A lot of these footballers are able to travel to some of the most beautiful and exotic casinos in the entire world (earning hundreds of thousands a week tends to help with that). However, if you are interested in getting involved then doing this might be a bit trickier. Lucky for you there are a number of different casinos you can play on. These are accessible regardless of where in the world you are, as there are sites available with UK domains and some non UK casinos you can go on as well.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who absolutely dominates when he is on the football field and it might surprise you to learn that he is also a bit of a high flyer in the casino as well. He loves to play poker and has been known to take to different poker tables quite regularly. He has been playing for years and when he needs a bit of a break from the field, loves nothing more than trying his luck on the tables.
Mario Balotelli
Mario has made a bit of a name for himself because of some of his different off-field antics; however, he has also previously shown that there is quite a generous side to him as well. He loves to play at different casinos and all the way back in 2011, he managed to win just over £25,000 at the 235 Casino in Manchester (he mainly won this playing roulette). With his money, he didn’t just blow it, he instead gave the waiter who had been serving him a tip of £1000 and then did the same thing to a homeless man he passed outside.
Wayne Rooney
When Rooney ended his playing career over in the USA, he certainly wasn’t a stranger to getting himself to the occasional casino. Whilst he might have enjoyed it, his wife Coleen was not happy about the amount of time he was spending at these casinos and now, as a result, he has been put on a non-gambling list.
Conclusion
Everyone needs a hobby and for the above footballers, they found fun in gambling. The above listed players might be known for being giants in the world of football, but they are no strangers to gaming in casinos from time to time as well.
