While they have various investments, besides their personal cravings, some also like to put it on the line. In the same light, we look at four footballers who like to gamble with their money in the casinos.

Zlatan Ibrahimović
We start the list with the self-proclaimed god of football, Zlatan Ibrahimović. The Swedish is rated as one of the legendary footballers to have ever played the sport and is undoubtedly the greatest legend of the sport from his nation. Being one of the top-paid footballers of the world, he seemingly has an avid interest in gambling and betting. He supposedly also owns a Maltese online gambling website, which the Union of European Football Associations recently investigated for conflict of financial interests.

Neymar
The Brazilian star striker is having a great time in Paris Saint-Germain, as he happens to be the club's most expensive players while being the most expensive transfer in football history proves the point. He apparently also has a keen interest in gambling. Furthermore, being a video-gaming buff, he likes to play poker online and gambles heavily in the same.

Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese superstar hardly needs any introduction. Furthermore, being a modern-day great, he is one of the highly-paid modern-day footballers and extremely wealthy. Consequently, he has developed a love for gambling and is reportedly seen playing poker in various global casinos. Nevertheless, it has hardly affected his gameplay.

Diego Maradona
The late Argentine legend and a GOAT of the sport, Maradona, happened to be one of the most celebrated footballers across the globe. Consequently, he made many bucks, both as a player and a manager. Meanwhile, he entered a troubled lifestyle with all the money, which involved drugs, alcohol, etc. Out of love for gambling, he reportedly ran an illegal casino in Buenos Aires. Besides, he also loved to play card and roulette regularly.
