You won't believe how much money Nicklas Bendtner lost playing poker he found out the sum himself

Danish striker, 32-year-old, began playing Texas Hold '%s' since he was 19. His love for this game caused him some problems, including one night in London when “things came out of control”.

Bendtner, however, insisted he is not addicted to gambling, until he added he plays for small sums.

I've lost a lot of money a non-real amount,” said Bendtner for a Danish reality show.

I've played a lot of poker in my life. I've been a professional poker player since I was 19.

It's hard to determine how much I've lost, but about 50 million Danish crowns seven million euros.

It was gambling, fun and trouble.

I wouldn't say I have a problem gambling. I've always managed to control it.

Anyway, in the past, I've played very big matches. One night in London, things got out of control and could have ended very badly.

It didn't end very badly. It was so I could live with him.

But by that night, I haven't played a high-risk game.

I've chosen to play with smaller sums ever since.

I play mostly for sport's sake. I'm gonna have a poker night with my friends. We're all set for 15 euros. ”

Bendtner has been without a club since he left Copenhagen at the end of 2019. /Periscope. com/
