Michael Franzese on Charles Barkley Losing $10M Gambling, He's the Addict Not Jordan (Part 4) 

he got an education money couldn't buy

That’s true a lot of people are smart, but not everybody has the hustler mentality to go with it.

@@PatrickDavidson Bronx tale

The Mob is governed off of money. It's policed by enforcers, enforcers don't last too long in any organized crime scenario because they are killers that need to be recycled. People like Franzese are like the Cousin that you know that came out of doing a 15 year stretch and somehow in 2 months he has a new car, an apartment/house and keeps going out of town. It's like they were BORN with that "talent". It doesn't make them any less dangerous if they are crossed, he's just a Survivor first.

When he talks business you can tell he’s on a different level

Facts, he’s moves in silence

Thats what a real “G” does him an Trey D dont’t give up unnecessary info.

@@undertaker11ism every thing he "disclose" is already on public domain, just soberly confirm no unnecessary details.

🤣🤣🤣😂👌👌

A master of click bait titles smh

Yep my first thought when the video ended lame

good lookin out!

Mixamaka good analogy

That’s the scummiest analogy I’ve ever heard.

@Jesus Cruz na you still get screwed

Wow well that's one way to look at it lol

@Tom-Tom Tom no not really. Part of it maybe.

COSMO JOE the house don’t always win....it’s how u enter.

The money is secondary for people who gamble. It's primary for people like you. The money I bet is part of the cost ofy entertainment. Sometimes I leave ahead. Sometimes I don't. But that's how I have a good time.

@@bluntafterblunt1295 No, but the odds are stacked heavily in their favor, not yours. So it's a losing wager in the long run unless you get really lucky.

I don’t think people care. It must be about the adrenaline rush of putting lots of money on the line

If you have the money it doesn’t really matter. A lot of people like the atmosphere

Vlad don't think so. BG Knoccout had to tell him they still run Vegas. The only difference now is that their corporate.

Haaaaaaaa 🤣🤣🤣

@@trae9216 😌

But Michael franzese isn’t going to say that, is he? It would be like dry snitching.

Shhhhhh🤫

You look like Kid Cudi in your profile

The addiction comes from winning once and chasing the high just like a hard drug .

Asstrologist Cudi is a LEGEND so I’ll take it lol

Kris R It comes from numerous things like impulsivity, compulsivity, a strong competitive nature, fun/excitement, etc... Winning is really only a factor if the person has one or more of those other traits

It’s one that nobody can LMAO not even the rich!

LOL HILARIOUS

Loool I was looking for this comment 😂

Michael Scofield glad I could help!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol true

Vlad such a dbag lol

Facts.10 million dollars is a fortune.He could have bought business's and property.Smh.Fucking moron.😒🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I would pass out and go into a coma

Spread Love hahahahaha got em

@Spread Love its still a fortune if he was worth 40 at the time he lost 25 percent of his net worth that's insane

Spread Love 40 is great, but that 10 he lost would have made it 50. That is, if he’s worth 40 which I doubt.

Truth...gambling is worser than drug addiction in some cases...

You wanna bet?.....

I bet

Don't stop there, we wanna here sum stories

Only addiction where you can be a millionaire one second and be flat broke within hours.

Especially him being so competitive. I can only imagine how difficult it would be for someone like him.

Or go climb a freeway sign & tag it up. Lots of “Rush” there for ya’. 😂

Also the winner’s high(the dopamine rush to the brain when you win a bet) is also a physiological reason behind addiction.Lastly gambling is an example of a psychological learning schedule called “variable ratio”.In variable ratio you get a reward after a varied amount of behavior. Behaviors learned through variable ratio are the hardest to quit because of the reasoning “I’ll get lucky next time”.

Rats turned into cops are the worst but it's a good excuse to retire. Put it behind you move on.

@Bob Barker what does money have to do with him being business smart

@Bob Barker i know the guy made millions i never said he didn't. What does his money have to do with me saying he could've been CEO of a fortune 500 company.

Bro he’s not talking about money All he’s saying is that this guy could handle the task of running a huge business with 1000s if employees and successfully do it because of how smart he is. Everything you guys think about is “what they make or made” seriously think outside the box bruh

@@nathanbain798 thank you!!! Unreal bro right?

Nah he's to honest to be a CEO

😆😆😆😂😂

Very well said!

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 you got good memory I forgot all about that

@JayoJay Spado is a nobody.

You can be both....like fat guy smoking crack.

Well if he’s a degenerate then think about what he is lol

It’s because he did

He did say that. U know MJ payed him off to say this...

@@bigbellyman5442 lol

lol

Thats "dope". What are you 12 years old? This is for grown folks to listen to.

🤣 50/50 gamble of all your life savings!

They'll Mess It Up, The Last Mob Movies Being Made Are Wack, I Haven't Seen The Irishamn So I Can't Say Anything About The Movie, I've Seen Black Mass and I Thought It Was an Awful Movie, I Didn't Bother To Watch The Travolta Gotti Movie

@Отоја Јамагучи the negative is he hasn't the price of a cup of coffee. Swings and roundabouts i guess.

@ThaKronDon I'll tell you this......... M. FRANZESE always drops knowledge that's why I am waiting for the full interview to drop. I haven't watched this clip.

😂

Exactly

🤦‍♂️ that one went over my head. So simple.

100%

Been there chased the same feeling for 2 years. Now I look back and I’m embarrassed for that shit

🤣🤣🤣 too funny

But who's to say Vlad wasn't behind the gds blasting Ross's car up...he does do alot of interviews with people from Chicago 😆🤷

😂😂😂😂

Officer Ricky lol

Charles Entertainment Cheese

Drink problem?

Credit where it's due, the man has been able to keep millions of dollars rolling in year after year with broadcast and sponsorship deals. Him and Shaq, they just make money hand over fist. Good for them, I wish I could afford to lose 10M without filing for bankruptcy.

His gambling is excessive in the sense of he wagers on everything. But what MJ said about not having a gambling problem but rather a competition problem I thought was fair. It was seen that he had a problem because he’s wagered large sums but those sums are fine in the context of the money he always earned. But the thing that really drove that home was the part of the doc when will Perdue tells the story about how they’d never play blackjack in the back of the plane with him because the money they were betting was too much and so they’d play together in the front for $1 a hand. And he asked to play with them and Paxson asked him why the hell he’d want to play with them and he responds “because I want to be able to say I have your money in my pocket”. That really demonstrated to me that it was never a money thing for him it was the competitive fire for everything and that even if it was gonna be like $20 which is like toilet paper in his universe that the appeal was beating them even if it was low stakes. When somebody is worth multiple billons of dollars and has an income of around $250M+ every year the likelihood that their gambling will ever involve sums of money to actually matter in their financial world is extremely low so to see them continue to do so there has to be a different appeal.

Like Snitch dog?

He has dumb questions

🤣🤣🤣 correct

Who?

Harvey Keitel is awesome but if it was on mikes time in the Colombo family Harvey’s too old to play Franzese

Harvey Keitel is 80 years old 😂😂😂

Mr J W , they can make him look half his age. Hollywood bro. They can do anything
