People may think Iverson is a successful basketball player, never did they know, he is now broke due to his gambling debts. He lost everything to gambling and drinking including the money he earned from NBA matches (around $200 million), his career and even his wife and his children. He even lost his $50 million lifetime sponsorship deal with Rebook that worth $50 million. Despite his love and addiction to gambling, many casinos in Atlantic City has banned him due to his unpleasant behavior towards the workers in the casinos. He had even been caught urinating in a trash can in front of the casino. Iverson had lost almost his whole life to gambling. He once was being accused by his ex-wife of kidnapping his children just because he wanted to be with them. Although the charges were dropped, we can see how his addiction to gambling had finished his career as a successful athlete and him happiness he could have with his family members. The only thing that gambling brought to him were debts and despair. Although he had paid off his debts, he is still by far the most popular celebrity who is known to be addicted to gambling.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2ub4bp-bfc7e1ae6f6d0737091c2a492f704e66\">\n#top .hr.av-2ub4bp-bfc7e1ae6f6d0737091c2a492f704e66{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-2ub4bp-bfc7e1ae6f6d0737091c2a492f704e66 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100%;\nborder-color:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2ub4bp-bfc7e1ae6f6d0737091c2a492f704e66 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-av_section-af6d0f84113eb35b71137a0cdf05412d main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-9653'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_full first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><div class=\"responsible-gambling\" style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:12px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<p><strong>Responsible Gambling:<\/strong> iBET promotes responsible gambling.
