Famous Gamblers of the Hollywood Circle
===========================================================
In the glamorous world of Hollywood, it's not uncommon for celebrities to have a penchant for high-stakes games. Here's a roundup of some notable figures and their gambling habits.
Charlie Sheen, known for his turbulent past, is infamous for his extravagant gambling expenditures. During his divorce from Denise Richards, he reportedly spent over $20,000 per week on sports betting, with his spending reaching up to $200,000 weekly on sports betting and casinos at other times [1][4][3]. This excessive gambling was part of a broader pattern of excessive spending and lifestyle choices that marked a challenging period in his life.
Ben Affleck, on the other hand, is a regular gambler, particularly skilled at blackjack. His prowess at the game earned him a ban from the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas in 2014 for card counting [1].
Matt Damon, a versatile actor, has trained in poker and is considered a regular player, linking him closely to the gambling community, especially poker [4].
Tobey Maguire is also recognized as a regular poker player, with a reputation among celebrities for his involvement in high-stakes poker games [4]. His poker antics were highlighted in the book and movie "Molly's Game."
Pamela Anderson and Ray Romano, popular figures in their own right, have not had their gambling habits extensively documented in the provided search results. Similarly, Shannon Elizabeth and Walter Matthau's gambling activities remain largely unknown.
Walter Matthau, however, had a hard time resisting the allure of casino games, particularly craps. Despite his age, he continued to act in comedies well past typical retirement age.
Shannon Elizabeth, best known for her roles in movies and TV shows, is also a formidable poker player. She has notable wins at the World Series of Poker and holds a high standing in online poker rankings, though this aspect of her life is not as widely known.
Despite the public scrutiny surrounding some of these celebrities' gambling habits, their love for the game continues to make headlines. Whether it's at the poker table or the sportsbook, these stars show that the allure of the gamble is hard to resist.
