Ashley Revell, 32, had sold everything he had – his house, his car and even his clothes.  He placed all the money on Red at a Roulette table in the Plaza Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, aaaaand..........

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.

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.

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.

I have the courage but I am not stupid. I would not risk my future and the future of those who depends on me on a gamble. There is just too much at risk there. If it landed the other color he will be a beggar. If you are a bachelor maybe but if you have children, you are just insane if you do that.

No it was't nice and it was not smart. It was one of the most dumbest gambling feats I've ever seen. I am beginning to think that this man has backup plan.
What I mean is - he is being paid for doing this in that particular casino - everything documented etc. I am sure if that man would lost back then we wouldn't heard a single word about this.

One of your point also genuine , because their are so many media are their who want some news and they always do this. and one more is that man would have some fix with the casino insider and have done his work.

I agree with u! This is crazy gambling story, I don't know what to think about this. It`s amazing thing that this guy Ashley Revell did just that.  He emptied his savings account, sold every single earthly possession other than the clothes on his back, went to Las Vegas and bet it all on red.  He turned $136,000 into $272,000 in the span of 20 seconds. Congratulations man! What else to say to this man, he had a balls to try it.

This is not a good idea at all. What if he lost the bet, he must be on streets. I think its not about courage, not a single sensible man can ever try this crazy thing.

He will be broke but he still have his family maybe he can move to his parents house to start a another life then when he is good again maybe he can gamble again.
Well hes lucky that it landed on red and everyone was cheering for him.

Not going to lie, this was probably the single most retarded thing I have seen in a long time.

There is absolutely no point in placing such a risky bet, and that is basically putting your entire life's work on the line, with a chance you would lose it all.

They are definetley stacked against you at any casino. If they were not, everyone would be winning and they would not cease to exist anymore as they would go bankrupt!

This is the Height of the Gambling the crazy man i ever seen till today He is the good example for "Addicted Gambler" OMG i don't have this much courage to do this type of Betting. If that ball place in Black color means a Millionaire become Slumdog in fraction of minutes right. This is the good ex for hoe people addicted for this Gambling and what all things they can do to Betting. He was lucky guy so he won the bet that's it.
I don't think this is a good example for any type of gambler.
It looks we need to motivated by this story, selling everything to gambled? No it's not good at all.
Unless if we take an example on how addicted gambler turn mad staking all they have to doubled which it's not to good to do.

Seeing how this was documented, recorded, a lot of people gathered and cheering, manager of the Casino present etc. I think this was some organized action and publicity stunt.
If he really sold everything he owned in life and left with only clothes on his back after losing I doubt he would even consider betting.

This is a stunt of course, a real stunt indeed however even if he sold everything he would not be as poor as homeless because this public stunt will make him shine and there will be alot of interviews coming from the media , invitation as a guest in the talkshow and all of this would get him some good amount

that is the worst things i have ever heard or seen.
i am all for taking big risks in life but there is a very big difference between a calculated risk and a dumb risk. gambling is the later. when there is a high chance of losing your whole life i say that is a dumb move.

everybody is always saying bet what you can afford to lose.

I laughed when the pit boss said "Ashley.  I want you to take a moment and get yourself composed, and then we'll go over the rules of the game.  Are you sure you wanna make this bet of your life savings here?  I want you to know, we would never knowingly condone or accept someone making a wager of their entire life savings, but we know this is a culmination of a grand adventure for you, and hopefully the start of many more and more interesting pages."

Man that is just crazy. I can't say it's courage, because it's way to crazy and irresponsible I guess. Gambling is perfectly fine, using the normal concept of having a bankroll that you can afford to lose, but how can you afford to lose your entire life savings?

Yes lol, I agree you have to be really stupid to do this.
50% to double your money or 50% to lose it all.

I wouldn't have the courage at such a bet it is reckless.
It dumb to bet all the money you have on 1 thing as well.

If you are going to bet in the Casino, such a bet is actually not irrational at all. Placing a higher number of smaller bets would give him a lower expected value. When playing a game that has an edge for the house, the mathematically most opportunistic bet is to bet all you got one time, and then never bet again.

This is a very bad decision, i will never do that. You have to bet only with the money that you can afford to loose, you can bet 100.000 dollars if you are millionaire, but not sell your house and bet with all the money. If you bet with all your money its possible that you won your bet, and you will be very happy and will try to do it another time, and if not in the second bet, could be on third but finally you will loose all your money.

yes, in first place, gambling is very fun, others decide to play it with money so from hobby it turns to addiction

when you gamble, you need to think about future too, about your future or current wife and children, you probably won't win in gambling so don't even try
