Silent on Losing Thousands of Dollars, $60,000,000 Worth Charles Barkley?s Learns Huge Gambling Lesson Courtesy of Patrick Mahomes’ Brilliance

Charles Barkley and his never-ending affair with sports betting. While the 6’10 Phoenix Suns legend was a force on the court, his track record with predictions hasn’t always been the best. However, that hasn’t stopped The Round Mound of Rebound from making them. And making them often. The process got so common, and hilarious, that Chuck’s “GUARANTEE” became a running joke. But, it isn’t just basketball that has suffered from the curse of Charles.

While his predictions may not improve, it seems even Charles Barkley has to raise his hands to the inevitability of Patrick?Mahomes.

The Chuckster is in awe of Patrick Mahomes

Since his career began, it is safe to say that Patrick Mahomes has solidified himself as one of the all-time greats. Some, have even claimed that the young prodigy is a top-three quarterback of all time already. Regardless of the actual rankings, that a case could be made for the same already speaks volumes for the 27-year-old.

A 2-time MVP, and a 2-time Super Bowl MVP, Mahomes has redefined the sport. In just 5 years, Mahomes has surpassed every expectation imaginable. And, it doesn’t seem like he’s done. While Charles’s co-host, Shaq’s son Myles, had some criticisms about the Kansas City Chiefs stud, Barkley is on board the bandwagon.

Speaking about the state of the AFC, Chuck made his Chiefs fandom clear. “When you got Pat Mahomes and Kelce…They are studs…Andy’s a great coach. Man, they gonna be hard to beat for the next, probably, five years.”?

Safe to say, the Chuckster is all aboard the Patrick Mahomes hype train. And honesty, how could you not be? Whether it is behind-the-back passes or game-winning rushes with a knee injury, Mahomes has personified the winner’s mentality.

As for Chuck, the Philadelphia 76ers legend suffered first-hand disappointment courtesy of the generational QB.

Charles Barkley made a costly bet

Super Bowl LVII was one for the ages. The 2 leading candidates for league MVP, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, going head-to-head. Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs.

While the Chiefs would be considered favorites, Mahomes’ injury had cast a shadow of doubt over Kansas’ chances.

Prior to the match, Charles Barkley made his predictions for the event known. The Chuckster claimed that he would put down $100,000 on the Philadelphia Eagles. Charles, of course, spent a long portion of his career in Philadelphia as a member of the 76ers, explaining some of the reasoning behind his bet.

The other reason is likely his $60 million net worth!

While his priorities lay with his city, the result, of course, was not in his favor. After Kadarius Toney’s record-breaking punt return, Mahomes sealed the deal with a legendary rush on an injured leg, sealing Philly’s fate. In the end, Kansas City prevailed, and Sir Charles burned a $100,000 hole in his pocket. At least, after a few years, Barkley learned to acknowledge Mahomes’ greatness.

With the NFL season right around the corner, safe to say, Mr. Barkley will be betting on the Chiefs this year.
