Pop Star Macy Gray Confesses Her Love for Gambling

The most I’ve won in one night is $28,000 playing Blackjack and when I’m in Vegas I love playing poker and I just lose my mind but not to the point where I think I’ve got a problem. I don’t get up in the middle of the night and go every day, nothing like that. www.telegraph.co.uk;

Gray has appeared in the Bravo Celebrity Poker Showdown playing for Habitat for Humanity and she finished in third place. In 2012, gossip site Perezhilton.com claimed that Macy canceled a performance at the Foxwoods casino-resort because she was ill, but then she was seen gambling at the property.

Before she became famous singer and actress, Macy lived with her mum, she was pregnant and she had no job. In the interview she talks about her childhood and about her life in general, claiming she is a big spender who wishes to be a saver, like her mom. Even though she likes shopping and spending, Macy is a hard worker who earned millions and her single 'I Try' has given her and her family financial security for life. The “I Try” hit-maker gets a weekly allowance on her debit card given by her accountant who does most of her finances so she can’t spend too much money.

No matter how much you have, you can spend it very easily. Spending money is the easiest thing in the world. One little smart thing I did was, I had my accountant put aside a very tiny percentage for each of my kids, and it looked like peanuts, but over the years, it’s added up and it’s really taken care of a lot of things that they needed when they got older. I have learned a lot about money and now that I’ve been through all the ups and downs with it, I think I treat it with a lot more respect www.telegraph.co.uk;

Despite of losing a lot of money playing blackjack and poker at several casinos, Macy still loves casino gambling and it will, no doubt, remain her passion.
