A British man who has sold all his possessions, bet everything on a single spin of - GoFuckYourself.com

the roulette wheel.

I wanna see this!!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A British man who has sold all his possessions, including his clothes, will stand in a rented tuxedo on Sunday and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

If he wins, he doubles his money. If he loses, he will be left with only the television crew hahahahahahahahaing his every move.

Ashley Revell, a 32-year-old Londoner, said he was worth about 75,000 pounds ($138,000) after he sold everything in March.

"I thought I was worth at least 100,000 pounds," he said in a telephone interview from Las Vegas, where he is putting in a week gambling about $3,000 in a bid to raise his pot.

By Wednesday, he was down $1,000.

Revell said he had planned to have a friend videotape his bet-it-all spin, but Britain's Sky One television decided it was worth a short reality series, called "Double or Nothing."

Sky will not pay him, he says, but a crew has followed his preparation and will cover the spin live on Sunday at the Hard Rock casino in Las Vegas. It also plans to follow him for a month afterward, win or lose.

Revell, recently a professional gambler, said he decided to take a big plunge while he was still young and raised the stakes as high as possible, including selling his clothes.

"I like to do things properly," he said.

He had not decided yet whether to place his money or red or black on Sunday afternoon.

"I don't know man," he said. "One of them is going to be the right thing to say and one is going to be the wrong thing."

He added that if he won he would probably take his winnings rather than spin again.

Here's a picture of the guy. They're probably brass.

Nysus · 04-08-2004, 07:23 AM

Perhaps he's hoping that the publicity of him (if he loses) will have a lot of people sorry for him being so stupid, and send him some money. Though maybe he actually has a backup..

Cheers,
Matt

Totally insane. I just hope his ridiculous decision only affects himself.

polish_aristocrat · 04-08-2004, 08:14 AM

Cool, I want to see it

Even if he loses, if Sky News will follow him for a month, his face will become popular and he will be offered jobs in advertisements.

Chicken?

Volantt · 04-08-2004, 09:41 AM

The problem is that with the 00 spot on the wheel it is not a true 50/50 chance.

eiht_98 · 04-08-2004, 11:04 AM

I'd bet on 0.

WiredGuy · 04-08-2004, 11:04 AM

I hope Sky One will at least pay him a little something something if he loses it all. Not fair that they make money off his loss.

WG

they will just get The Sun 'newspaper' to buy his story. That way it doesn't break their promise but since the same guy owns them both he gets the money. All is fair in Rupert's world.

TheEnforcer · 04-08-2004, 11:11 AM

If I was gonna bet that much at one time I'd go to Binion's Horseshoe casino and put $20,000 on the pass line and the rest as odds after the point is established.
