Ashley Revell: Double or Nothing |
Ashley Revell might be the luckiest roulette player in the world, or he might be the craziest roulette player in the world. He might possibly be a combination of the two. But one thing is for sure: Ashley Revell is a gambler.
An Audacious Roulette GambleIn 2004, Ashley Revell, then age 32, of Kent, England, sold everything he owned. "Everything" means every single thing - save one pair of pants and one pair of underwear. He then bought an airplane ticket to Las Vegas, and proceeded to the Plaza Hotel and Casino. Wearing a borrowed jacket, he traded in his entire net worth — $135,300 — for chips, went to the roulette table, and placed all the chips on Red.The bet was placed; the roulette wheel spun around; the roulette wheel slowed down. Ashley held his breath, the crowd held its breath, and the ball landed on . . . Red 7. In one spin of the roulette wheel, Ashley had doubled his money to $270,600. Ashley was then asked if he would like to try to double his money again. In a moment of sanity, he replied, "No thanks." He politely tipped the croupier $600, pocketed the remaining $270,000, and walked away into the annals of roulette history. After his big win at roulette, Ashley said, "That was just the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. The first thing I am going to do is buy some new clothes." The final word belongs to Ashley Revell's father, who said: "He shouldn't have done it. He's a naughty boy." To see Ashley Revell's audacious roulette wager, click here.
