Former England international is not being blessed by luck
Without a club since leaving Como in September last year, Dele Alli continues his decline… and he doesn’t even get away with it in the game. According to the ‘Daily Mail’, the former England international has ventured out on nights out in casinos to play poker and, according to what the newspaper reported, he has already accumulated losses in the order of 150 thousand pounds (172 thousand euros).
Normally, writes the newspaper, Alli ‘bleeps’ 25 thousand pounds a night and his lack of skill in the game is even attracting the attention of those who want to make money. The former star will have even earned the nickname ‘whale’, the name that is normally given to those who have a lot of money… but little ability to play.
“We are always very excited to find out when Dele returns to the casino, because facing a ‘whale’ is a dream scenario. As soon as he arrives at the casino, a message goes around everyone saying ‘Dele is ready to open business’. And as soon as he appears, a few show up to play, because it’s easy money. He’s been appearing practically every day for the last two weeks. Usually in the morning, sometimes alone, sometimes with others. He goes upstairs, plays for a few hours and usually loses around 25 thousand a day. It’s probably the limit that the casino gives you…”, said a regular at the casino in question, quoted by the ‘Daily Mail’.
