Red or Black?: Englishman Bets All His Savings on a Single Roulette Spin in Las Vegas



Back in 2004, Englishman Ashley Revell did something you usually only seen happening in films – he sold all of his belongings, head to Vegas and bet $135,300 (£75,000) on a single roulette spin.


The event was filmed by Sky One for their mini-series "Double or Nothing", capturing the big game and Revell's life for the following month.


Red or black? Win or lose? Look for yourself!
