Appearing on “Depth With Graham Bensinger” this week, American professional golfer John Daly admitted he blew around $55 million gambling after a review of his tax records between the years 1991 and 2007.

“I should say I regret it,” Daly says. “But I did it, I move on from it, I had a lot of fun doing it.”

Daly said there were times in which he would play seven hands of blackjack at $5 to $15 per bet at once and played a $5000 slot machine at the Wynn Casino.   He would sometimes gamble 1 to 2 days straight only taking breaks to go to the bathroom.

"I love the action. I love the adrenaline, going in there," Daly said. "Now if I gamble, I play the $25 slots. If I hit something, I might move up to $100. But I don't do what I used to do anymore."
