Wait, you mean poker pros aren\’t the only ones who go broke? Apparently not … according to Brian Cuban (Mark\’s brother) 60 percent of all pro athletes go belly-up after retirement. Likewise for Hollywood-types. So much for our theories on poker players being inherently more degenerate … they\’ve hardly got the market cornered when it comes to pissing money away.
Though I question Cuban\’s numbers, I don\’t doubt so much his concept. He will be talking about it — pro athletes specifically — on his podcast (radio show?) tomorrow at 11:15 central.
