Phil Mickelson's never been shy about his love of gambling. Just how not shy he's allegedly been will drop some jaws.


In an excerpt of his upcoming book Gambler published at the Firepit Collective, Billy Waters, a renowned sports gambler and former friend of Mickelson, writes the golfer has bet an estimated $1 billion over the past three decades.


Waters kept tabs on Mickelson's betting during their gambling partnership from 2010 to 2014 and came up with the following figures:


In the most concerning allegations of the except, Waters alleged Mickelson tried to bet $400,000 on Team USA to win the 2012 Ryder Cup. Waters says he talked Mickelson out of the career-threatening bet attempt, though he wrote it was unclear whether the bet was placed elsewhere.
