After my business relationship with Phil ended, I learned a lot more about his betting from two very reliable sources in sports gambling.
They said it was nothing for Phil to bet $20,000 a game on long shot five team NBA parlays.
or wager $100,000 or $200,000 a game on football, basketball, and baseball.
Based upon my detailed betting records and additional records provided by the sources, here's a snapshot of Phil's gambling habit between 2010 and 2014.
He bet $110,000 to win $100,000 a total of 1,115 times.
On 858 occasions, he bet $220,000 to win $200,000.
The sum of those 1973 gross wagers came to more than $311 million.
In 2011 alone, he made 3,154 bets, an average of nearly nine per day.
On one day in 2011, June the 22nd, he made 43 bets on Major League Baseball games, resulting in $143,500 in losses.
He made a staggering $7,065 wagers on football, basketball, and baseball.
Phil didn't let his playing in PGA tournaments get in the way of betting.
Indeed.
According to the 2010-2014 betting records, he made 1,734 wagers on games during 29 events.
This included 70 separate bets on baseball and preseason pro football during the Barclays tournament in August 2011 where he shot 800 and tied for 43rd.
He won $415,000 in bets that weekend.
On February 11, 2012, a busy college basketball Saturday, Phil blew himself up by running his betting losses to nearly $4 million, according to the gambling sources familiar with Phil's other bets.
Even so, he displayed an incredible ability to compartmentalize.
He shot 64 the following day to win the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach while playing with and demolishing Tiger Woods by 11 shots.
Phil had an opportunity to testify at my trial to tell the truth about whether he received inside information regarding one of two stocks that I had recommended to him.
Phil decided not to testify on my behalf.
