well he risked everything that he had, and he was dumb, gamble with money that you can lose and still be okay and have good life but don't sell everything that you have for 50% chance to win more, and no i wouldn't ever do that

Too much, this is a crazy crazy thing to do and what if it was the opposite outcome. I'm glad he won otherwise mentally I am sure he would be battling some form of depression, this is something I just could not do.

is this seriously real?
i am so skeptical to believe this. i say it is just a fake story created by the casino itself to attract some publicity to their casino and make more money. just advertising in a different way.

anyways i would never do this. because i find it stupid rather than courageous.

She's freaking insane doing that kind of thing. She's gambling for a living which isn't good. Whenever she win this things back and get more still is not good since the risk to high but whatever it's her decision to this that kind of thing. Don't ever do this to those who are reading this.

you have to be so stupid to do this.
i don't care what the outcome of his bet was, it is not wise to do such a thing. the risk is too high and in case of losing you will lose everything, become homeless.

my legs are trembling just thinking about doing this.

from the article:

"All the interviews and documentaries that surrounded his bet guaranteed he earned good money – he would have won big even if he lost! A smart publicity stunt? Or a crazy and irresponsible Roulette story?" Grin

Must be the later.
He should be on drugs. No one in the right mind would do such unless of course he's lying because i do think he is. This is too bullshit to be real.

I dont really think why someone should lying about his own money? May be he got spare but to bet that high on roulette he must be crazy one. Although the chance is 50% to win and to lose but still it is a huge risk to bet everything on that. I can't imagine if he lose on that but at least he is lucky enough and after that he can have a great life

that was pretty stupid, not only because he gambled all he had, but because the gains he made are just really poor compared to the amount of risk he took. He returned home with 272k and bet 136k, he just doubled his money. If he put that on Bitcoin he could easily win a ton more since we area bout to go beyond doubling our money, and it's not all or nothing, you can always cut loses if you pussy out during a dip.

Putting the money into bitcoin seems a better move. In just a few months, he could have earned more without the risk of losing everything. He will just have to worry his daily expense until halving and after that he could have tripled the money or even more.

Well that video seems old, chances are Bitcoin didn't exist by then and even if it did, I doubt he was knowledgeable enough to do it. In any case, im sure there are way better ideas to gamble that money in the stock market, rather than in some all or nothing stupid casino bet. Casinos are for fun, not for life threatening bets.

This would be a crazy thing for me to do if you lose you lose everything you start at nothing again and if you win you just doubled your worth.

That's the Australian dude from years ago, right? I don't really see why he'd have to sell his clothes too. For dramatic effect? It's not as if the few extra dollars that gives you are going to make a difference. But if you lose, you'll still need clothes. Same as if you win: you have to instantly start shopping for clothes instead of doing nice things^*.

I would not dare to do this, it just sounds irresponsible. Maybe if I would be single.

^* As a guy I don't consider buying clothes a fun thing to do.

If the guy made money from publicity that's another thing than just gambling. That's why I wouldn't recommend anybody to follow his steps. He most likely was in win/win situation but if you do it yourself you won't be.

A part of me thinks this was done for publicity and maybe the guy was somehow involved with the casino and was promised that he wouldn't lose.

But I would never go "All In" on roulette, Poker maybe but not with my life savings.

that is exactly what i was thinking too.
i didn't say anything buy i had a feeling that this might even be some sort of advertisement for the casino. because anybody who does this is a brain-dead-addict or fake.

This is possible. I really don't think anyone in the right mind would risk everything in a casino in a single go. You can say it is a YOLO bet but still, losing everything and be a beggar if luck went against you is something that is pure stupidity. IMO. In a sense, if this is an advertisement for the casino, they are a win win. Casino gets exposure and the guy earns a lot of money.

wow, this was very interesting.

my mind is blown. i don't know what to call that person, someone with big balls or small brain.
i consider myself a risk taker but even i would never do such a thing. it is never a good idea to go all in unless you are already working with the casino in secret.
