Sorry if this was posted but i've been out all day and I couldn't believe this when I read it.
I read on Friday that this guy from Britian was going to bet his life savings in Vegas on the roulette wheel....well
Ashley Revell, a 32-year-old Londoner, sold all his possessions in March, took $135,300 to the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, did some low stakes gambling and then placed everything he had left on "Red."
The wheel was spun, a crowd of supporters including his Mum and Dad from London went wild, the ball bobbled over the slots and landed on Red '7' -- and Revell walked away with $270,600.
