Charles Barkley hilariously described going 0-3 betting against Patrick Mahomes this postseason

Charles Barkley is known for many things, including a Hall of Fame basketball player and NBA announcer on TNT, but among them is his penchant for gambling.

Barkley has talked openly about how he likes to hit the blackjack tables and place wagers on sports — with varying degrees of success — and he did so again on Thursday night’s Inside The NBA show, revealing that he went 0-3 betting against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in this year’s NFL playoffs.

Barkley revealed that he bet against the Chiefs at the Bills in the divisional round, at the Ravens in the championship round and against the 49ers in Super Bowl 58. Kansas City was an underdog in all three games, but Barkley didn’t reveal if he bet on the moneyline or spread of the Chiefs’ opponents.

Mahomes joked on X, “Watching NBAonTNT and trying to see if my man Charles is going to pick against the Chiefs again in the next round!”

Will Sir Charles employ the same strategy in next year’s playoffs?
