Any amount of money that get your juices going when you bet it has to be a noticeable amount of your net worth. Lets face it would 100k get his juices goin if he was a billionaire? Probably not.

I make $120k a year and i still find it entertaining to make a $10 bet on something. It's all relative.

Highly doubt this is true. You may find it "entertaining", but if it were a $100 or $1000 bet it would be more entertaining

He hasn't been betting lately because he hasn't got the money to risk.

Eli took a sizable amount off him @ the WSOP in props im pretty sure, so that with a downswing and he could be hurting right now.

I also noticed his comments on the cardplayer vid.

It is not like these guys are worth 20 mil + so they gamble way beyond their means. Luckily, Barry has tons of earning potential and about 1000 willing backers so it'd be hard for him to go permabust.

No, it wouldn't. That's why i don't make $1000 bets. I know i can lose $10 without feeling any loss, but the win is still entertaining because it's a win and then i can go to Starbucks and buy an outrageously expensive pair of coffees for me and my wife. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

From the video, I would say Barry G has precisely NO gambling/sports betting problem.
He seems a man in complete control.
