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

Waters kept tabs on Mickelson's betting during their gambling partnership from 2010 to 2014 and came up with the following figures:
- He bet $110,000 to win $100,000 a total of 1,115 times.
