Allen was on a rookie contract back then, and he mentions he did not have a huge paycheck like Barkley. The Bills’ QB revealed he loves to play blackjack but hates it when he loses. Allen still plays $25 a hand because if he loses 300 bucks, he gets a pit in his stomach.

On the other hand, Chuck loves to gamble, and he recently stated that in an interview. While speaking with Graham Bensinger, Charles said“I’ve won a million dollars, probably four or five times in a single day. I’ve lost a lot more millions in a single day, I’ve lost a million dollars at least 10 to 15, somewhere in there. I probably only won a million five or six times.”
