Ashley Revell Sold Everything for one Roulette Bet

But when he decided to sell all of his belongings in order to place a single bet on the Roulette wheel, overnight he became a sensation. Ashley Revell to this day cannot define what prompted him to sell all of his belongings including the underwear that he had, in car boot sales and through local advertisements in order to have money to gamble in Las Vegas. At first he just wanted to tell his friends about his idea to gamble all the money in the world that he owned but then the local media got hold of the idea and his story turned into a sensational reality TV show that was filmed by Sky One Television. In April 2004, Ashley Revell traveled to Las Vegas with his parents and siblings and a TV crew in tow. He had in his possession a total of $135300 which was all that he owned in the world.

But at the last minute due to public opinion, he changed his bet to red, and placed all the money that he owned in the world on the chance that the spinning ball from Roulette would land on a red square.
