Jordan tells ``60 Minutes'' he was ``stupid'' about gambling

Well, since Michael Jordan admitted his gambling problem. I will admit to mine. A couple of years ago I was in Las Vegas and my gambling got out of control too. I put a $1 bill into a slot machine in MGM Grand to see how this thing worked and it all got out of control. I pushed the button a couple of times and my $1 bill was all gone. Actually it wasn't even my $1 bill, my dad gave me the dollar bill. Pretty soon the $1 bill was gone and I still didn't understand how that slot machine worked. It was such a horrible experience for me that I quit gambling right then. It later got worse. About 20 minutes later, we were in the food court and I said to my dad, "Hey, I'll get you McDonald's and then we are even" (you don't want those $1 gambling debts getting out of control). After he ordered his Big Mac and MEDIUM fries and a MEDIUM Diet Coke, the bill was like $4 and change I had to pay.

So there you go, both Michael Jordan and Jordon Cooper were both stupid about gambling. I'll never get that $4 and change back. Actually I did as it was all my dad's money anyways as he was paying for the vacation but that was $4 that I could have spent upsizing my own Filet-o-Fish or something like that.
