would you have the balls to put $100k in a casino on "Red" ?
 
you have 48,6% chance to win another $100k......

if winning $100k is worth more to you than losing $100k (yes, this may sound stupid to some but may make sense to someone else) , then it can be worth the gamble

this guy got lucky with it

In 2004, Ashley Revell of London sold all of his possessions, clothing included, and brought US$135,300 to the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas and put it all on "Red" at the roulette table in a double-or-nothing bet. The ball landed on "Red 7" and Revell walked away with his net-worth doubled to $270,600

Sure, if it was someone else's $100k.

aico 07-04-2007 02:35 AM

not sure if "balls" is the correct term there.

Violetta 07-04-2007 02:45 AM

Well actually no if black comes up you still lose. What people are forgetting there are NOT 36 numbers there ARE 37 including zero and 38 including zero and double zero (in most USA Casino's).

I was actually a casino manager for 20 years in Australia and in Europe before coming over to adult.

Don't gamble is my suggestion :winkwink: BUT if you must play Baccarat (punto banko) the odds are the worst for the Casino. :thumbsup

Better still play poker then all you have to blame is yourself if you lose :upsidedow

I don't gamble and I'd find it hard to live with myself if (when) I lost.

Give me a sure thing every time.

Sounds to me like he had it all planned out. You know, with a camera crew in tote to film the whole thing. How many other people do similar with maybe only $10-20,000 being their life savings and lose, only to walk out and step in front of a bus?

tranza 07-04-2007 07:18 AM

That guy had balls indeed...

I met Ashley in Goa this summer, he was staying next to us, got pissed as farts. Hes a good lad. :thumbsup

He actually negotiated with the casino owner so that if it landed on one of the zeros, it was a re-spin (euro casinos only have 1 zero)

heres a clip of the magic moment:
