Gambler Bets All and Wins

LAS VEGAS – As reported by BBC: "A professional gambler has emerged victorious after betting everything on a single spin of a roulette wheel.

"Ashley Revell, 32, from Kent, gambled £76,840 (US$139,498.89)in a Las Vegas casino on the ball setting on red - and won £153,680 (US$278,997.77).

"Mr Revell, whose win was broadcast on Sky One on Sunday, risked coming away with nothing after selling all his possessions, including his clothes.

"…The professional poker player raised cash for the bet from car boot sales and auctions before travelling to the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

"The difference between losing everything and gaining thousands rested on whether he chose to place his two piles of chips on red or black on the wheel.

"Mr Revell said he only decided at the last minute to choose red - knowing what happened next could change his life.

"When the ball finally settled in the red slot, he punched the air with delight and was greeted with a bottle of champagne and cheers from the watching crowd.

"…A Sky One documentary, Double or Nothing, will now follow Mr Revell for a month."
