Despite a previous stint in rehab for both gambling and alcoholism, Affleck has continued to play cards. In fact, earlier this month, the talented actor was “banned for life” from tables at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas and is once again being urged to seek help for his gambling addiction.

So, who shows up in commercials showing how he uses his cell phone to place bets? Ben Affleck. He even brings his never-not-yet-MIL into the ad.

If you are banned from a casino, you can still bet!

With any luck, he slips into a Nic Cage-esque trap of having to do as many parts as he can to pay his bills, and we see some really eccentric and weird performances from Affleck.

Is the studio code for a 10-82 still “disappearing a dead hooker from Affleck’s trailer”?

I swear the best part Nic Cage has had in about 20 years was his appearance in Grindhouse during the Rob Zombie fake trailer.

He's got to pay off those gambling debts somehow!

Studio: Shall we make this check out to Mr. Ben Affleck?

Ben Affleck: Nah, just cut it to Hard Rock c/o Ben Affleck

The thing I took away from that commercial is, is Shaq the all-time commercial king? I'm starting to lose track of all the things he endorses. Does he talk about car insurance, at the craps table, while eating some pizza?

Shaq is the current commercial king but I think Michael Jordan or Bill Cosby in their prime had him beat with regards to most advertisements as well as the highest quality brands.

The General doesn’t hold a candle to Energizer, Coke, Jello, etc.

How much coin does Aflac have to drop to get Nick to lower himself by wearing that goofy light blue blazer and talking to a duck about supplemental health insurance?

I hate those commercials with a passion. The ones with Deion Sanders make me cringe everytime.

Being bad at gambling gets your comp’d suites. Not banned.

I really don't get the desire to gamble when you are financially set for life and certainly don't feel any sympathy for the greedy bastards.
