i don't care what the outcome of his bet was, it is not wise to do such a thing. the risk is too high and in case of losing you will lose everything, become homeless. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: lrdeoliveira on March 08, 2016, 04:22:21 PM you have to be so stupid to do this. i don't care what the outcome of his bet was, it is not wise to do such a thing. the risk is too high and in case of losing you will lose everything, become homeless. my legs are trembling just thinking about doing this. from the article: "All the interviews and documentaries that surrounded his bet guaranteed he earned good money – he would have won big even if he lost! A smart publicity stunt? Or a crazy and irresponsible Roulette story?" ;D Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: onlinedragon on March 08, 2016, 04:25:04 PM Wow thrilling video incredible how you dare to play with all you got. Don't think it's the most smart decision to play such gambling.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: sallymeeh27 on March 08, 2016, 04:30:26 PM Even she will won in a Las Vegas Casino, I will definitely not going to do that. In Gambling you should play smart but not selling everything you have. This is just a game of fun and not for a lifetime definitely not for your future and but it at stake. Just play with your excess money only..
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: socks435 on March 08, 2016, 04:50:27 PM Very impressive this is the story or of "the addicted gambler"this is the result of people who addicted in gambling..
This is not the right way to make a money. you lose everything if you do this. all your things also your shirts anything you had. is important that play it all in casino its just like you are play in death. if your things are done your will be worth less. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: stiffbud on March 08, 2016, 04:53:11 PM That move is disturbing. It's like a different level of addiction, a much higher level of addiction. I wonder if other people will also hae the courage to do something like that or similar to it. As for me, I'd provably kill myself if I decided to gamble everything I have like she does and I loose. :-\

As for me, I'd provably kill myself if I decided to gamble everything I have like she does and I loose. :-\ Yes indeed, I would never have the courage to do this there is such a big risk that you will lose a lot of money. I also think its not worth because its just going to far if you do this, also if you have a family its not possible for sure. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

Just play with your excess money only.. yes, in first place, gambling is very fun, others decide to play it with money so from hobby it turns to addiction when you gamble, you need to think about future too, about your future or current wife and children, you probably won't win in gambling so don't even try Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: poptok1 on March 08, 2016, 05:09:02 PM Balls of steel or empty head...
More luck than reason? Yes. Definietely a fool but lucky one. Maybe he knew that he is lucky? I would never do that but maybe when some sort of big news would hit me, like a terminal disease or huge money after dead relative, who knows? For sure thrilling experience. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: twister on March 08, 2016, 06:05:22 PM Well, I just had to confirm it and turns out it did actually happen -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Revell
Would I have the courage to do this? Absolutely ye...NOT!! Because this is type of gambling that make people commit suicide in the end, which is what this guy probably would have done if the result of that spin was black. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: leex1528 on March 08, 2016, 06:20:19 PM Never in a million years. I don't care if he won, if he lost he starts at square one? I just couldn't get the courage, stupidity to do this. I have worked too hard for everything in my life to risk it on a game that I could lose it all. I might do it with 1,000 dollars or something smaller like that but still, wow.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: crazyjack on March 08, 2016, 06:29:41 PM Omg, never. If there is even a slight sanity within me, i would never do that.
The first comment under video says everything. I quote: "And then he became a gambling addict and lost all his money". Lucky once, unlucky twice afterwards. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Karartma1 on March 08, 2016, 06:47:03 PM That's stupid in any case. It's a matter of extreme luck and happens once in a million years otherwise we would all be rich! Don't you think?
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: BitcoinSupremo on March 08, 2016, 07:31:48 PM They say only dumb persons have extreme courage, I guess this is the case here as a normal person mentally would never do that ruining all his/her belongings to single roulette bet with 50% chance to win and 50% chance to lose.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Bitinity on March 08, 2016, 08:41:54 PM I thought that is a kind of advertising video of a casino instead of real video experience. But after checking on the wikipedia, it sounds to be true.
What a crazy and lucky gambler, put all what he have in a single bet and won. For me, I would not have the courage to do something crazy like what he did. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: MaritiJames3 on March 08, 2016, 08:47:17 PM No I have no courage to do this, I also have a family to feed so if I do this it will ruin my whole family.
I would never take such a risk because its all or nothing all depending on luck. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: katerniko1 on March 08, 2016, 08:50:09 PM hell no that is a lot of money to lose in 2 sec but overall he won so it was nice risk to tak :)
regards. -Katerniko1 Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Raimonn on March 08, 2016, 09:37:48 PM This is a very bad decision, i will never do that. You have to bet only with the money that you can afford to loose, you can bet 100.000 dollars if you are millionaire, but not sell your house and bet with all the money. If you bet with all your money its possible that you won your bet, and you will be very happy and will try to do it another time, and if not in the second bet, could be on third but finally you will loose all your money.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Georgizhelev on March 08, 2016, 09:44:40 PM even if i am on very strong drugs i will never do that ... this is all about luck wow ...and if he lose he lose everything ... but congrats to this lucky guy
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: angaper on March 08, 2016, 10:37:28 PM I think it is not about courage my friend. This is a very senseless impulse, perhaps boosted by a total lack of common sense and control of emotions, otherwise it is totally incomprehensible such attitude.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Junko on March 08, 2016, 10:54:28 PM So sick - in a crazy way. I wonder how much he is worth today after having used his winnings to start an online poker site which eventually went out of business. Imagine if he had waited a few years and invested in bitcoin when it was less than $1. He'd be a mega millionaire. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda.

Post by: tn211 on March 08, 2016, 10:56:10 PM even if i am on very strong drugs i will never do that ... this is all about luck wow ...and if he lose he lose everything ... but congrats to this lucky guy I think the most people will not do this, its just to big and I even think no one will come up on a day to do this, you are just crazy if you have such idea's. I would never do this there are to many risks and you whole life is depending on luck, I mostly I have bad luck if I'm honest. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

If you are going to bet in the Casino, such a bet is actually not irrational at all. Placing a higher number of smaller bets would give him a lower expected value. When playing a game that has an edge for the house, the mathematically most opportunistic bet is to bet all you got one time, and then never bet again.

Yes lol, I agree you have to be really stupid to do this. 50% to double your money or 50% to lose it all. I wouldn't have the courage at such a bet it is reckless. It dumb to bet all the money you have on 1 thing as well. Because if you lose u don't have anything. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: patt0 on March 09, 2016, 12:47:42 AM Ashley Revell, 32, had sold everything he had – his house, his car and even his clothes. He placed all the money on Red at a Roulette table in the Plaza Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, aaaaand.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGCdBsOIKYA Man that is just crazy. I can't say it's courage, because it's way to crazy and irresponsible I guess. Gambling is perfectly fine, using the normal concept of having a bankroll that you can afford to lose, but how can you afford to lose your entire life savings? Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: shintosai on March 09, 2016, 12:54:02 AM Ashley Revell, 32, had sold everything he had – his house, his car and even his clothes.

Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: gentlemand on March 09, 2016, 02:04:17 AM Risking your entire net worth and only doubling it? Absolutely no way. That's a pathetic prospect. I'd risk 5-10% for the prospect of a 20x or more gain.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Zeke2345 on March 09, 2016, 02:24:53 AM Before I clicked on this it made me think of the off duty cop that shot himself after losing it all. Heartless pricks had the section back open within 30 minutes.
This smells more like a ploy by the casinos. Video cameras rolling smells fishy. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: tommorisonwebdesign on March 09, 2016, 02:40:18 AM This video is an example of how crazy gambling can become. His odds were stacked against. He would have absolutey nothing and he would be sleeping on the streets. I would never make a bet like this, no matter how good the odds are in your favor.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: TippingPoint on March 09, 2016, 03:03:22 AM I laughed when the pit boss said "Ashley. I want you to take a moment and get yourself composed, and then we'll go over the rules of the game. Are you sure you wanna make this bet of your life savings here? I want you to know, we would never knowingly condone or accept someone making a wager of their entire life savings, but we know this is a culmination of a grand adventure for you, and hopefully the start of many more and more interesting pages."
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Avirunes on March 09, 2016, 03:10:39 AM It was really a bad and wierd decision to do that.Betting selling everything you have ? What kind of gambler was he?.Maybe he won a whoppin bumper around but uf we get the things turn around for a second and think if he would have lost that one ,then?Ofcourse his situtaion would be worse then a beggar .He would be regretting his whole life that he became a beggar having everything to get a normal life
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: bering on March 09, 2016, 04:17:13 AM i would not make stupid decision just like him but looks like this drama has been happy ending and last part on this video is he back to england with $272.000 i knew that a big winning but does not make me tempted to sell everything for do a gambling
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Patatas on March 09, 2016, 04:20:25 AM Ashley is just one of the cases which is popular and viral.There are lot of Ashley's and Bill Gates in the world of gambling who are still unappreciated (I suppose).Ashley made the most stupidest decision of his life.Ahsley is bad at managing money and probably a terrible gambler.Don't be like Ashley.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Sweeet123 on March 09, 2016, 04:45:59 AM This dude is crazy no way I would ever do this what would he have done if he lost. A crazy man indeed.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: pooya87 on March 09, 2016, 05:54:19 AM that is the worst things i have ever heard or seen.
i am all for taking big risks in life but there is a very big difference between a calculated risk and a dumb risk. gambling is the later. when there is a high chance of losing your whole life i say that is a dumb move. everybody is always saying bet what you can afford to lose. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: maku on March 09, 2016, 06:03:38 AM Seeing how this was documented, recorded, a lot of people gathered and cheering, manager of the Casino present etc. I think this was some organized action and publicity stunt.
If he really sold everything he owned in life and left with only clothes on his back after losing I doubt he would even consider betting. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

If he really sold everything he owned in life and left with only clothes on his back after losing I doubt he would even consider betting. This is a stunt of course, a real stunt indeed however even if he sold everything he would not be as poor as homeless because this public stunt will make him shine and there will be alot of interviews coming from the media , invitation as a guest in the talkshow and all of this would get him some good amount Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: lemipawa on March 09, 2016, 06:12:24 AM This looks like more of a PR stunt than a documentary but I don't see a name of casino or hotel. PR or not I will not do this even if I know I have something coming every month like a pension. But the experience of doing this kind of a gamble is priceless.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: clickerz on March 09, 2016, 06:21:09 AM No, I wont do that. I won't gamble anything what is certain already.Its a bad decision to gamble all that you've already,just like compromising your future. Good Luck to him :D
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: klf on March 09, 2016, 07:10:24 PM This is the Height of the Gambling the crazy man i ever seen till today He is the good example for "Addicted Gambler" OMG i don't have this much courage to do this type of Betting. If that ball place in Black color means a Millionaire become Slumdog in fraction of minutes right. This is the good ex for hoe people addicted for this Gambling and what all things they can do to Betting. He was lucky guy so he won the bet that's it.

I don't think this is a good example for any type of gambler. It looks we need to motivated by this story, selling everything to gambled? No it's not good at all. Unless if we take an example on how addicted gambler turn mad staking all they have to doubled which it's not to good to do. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

Big warning "DONT TRY THIS AT HOME" ;D Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Yakamoto on March 10, 2016, 05:14:11 AM Not going to lie, this was probably the single most retarded thing I have seen in a long time.
There is absolutely no point in placing such a risky bet, and that is basically putting your entire life's work on the line, with a chance you would lose it all. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: nostal02 on March 10, 2016, 06:45:32 AM Lol,i dont have the guts to sell all of my belongings just to put in a roulette and pick red.
Now with that man is doing an insane move in his life to do that. The most stupid thing i saw for a while. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: hua_hui on March 10, 2016, 09:49:51 AM well he may be happy for now but what is he gonna get out from here. that he can bet to win more??? or he is gonna now buy back the house?? or what? otherwise this bet will be worthless.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: lrdeoliveira on March 10, 2016, 10:00:05 AM I still can not figure out if I should call this man..... brave? or stupid?
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: eternalgloom on March 10, 2016, 10:01:30 AM I would not have the courage to do something liek this :) Lol, I wouldn't even have that kind of money if I sold everything.
Still wonder what would have happened if he had lost it all... Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

He will be broke but he still have his family maybe he can move to his parents house to start a another life then when he is good again maybe he can gamble again. Well hes lucky that it landed on red and everyone was cheering for him. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: xuan87 on March 10, 2016, 01:02:44 PM Its the dumbest act of gambling i ever heard and ever saw, i think that person has a gambling problem, no matter what is the result its giving negative effect, if he lost then we will see another beggar in the street, if he won then he will encourage another people to follow his step
so i dont think this is call courage but a stupid act Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: maku on March 10, 2016, 01:16:16 PM hell no that is a lot of money to lose in 2 sec but overall he won so it was nice risk to tak :) No it was't nice and it was not smart. It was one of the most dumbest gambling feats I've ever seen. I am beginning to think that this man has backup plan.regards. -Katerniko1 What I mean is - he is being paid for doing this in that particular casino - everything documented etc. I am sure if that man would lost back then we wouldn't heard a single word about this.

This is crazy gambling story, I don't know what to think about this. It`s amazing thing that this guy Ashley Revell did just that. He emptied his savings account, sold every single earthly possession other than the clothes on his back, went to Las Vegas and bet it all on red. He turned $136,000 into $272,000 in the span of 20 seconds. Congratulations man! What else to say to this man, he had a balls to try it. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: DeathAngel on March 10, 2016, 01:39:11 PM Saw this when it happened on the TV. I think the man is an idiot, if it was even as it seemed.

One of your point also genuine , because their are so many media are their who want some news and they always do this. and one more is that man would have some fix with the casino insider and have done his work. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: jakelyson on March 10, 2016, 03:39:19 PM I have the courage but I am not stupid. I would not risk my future and the future of those who depends on me on a gamble. There is just too much at risk there. If it landed the other color he will be a beggar. If you are a bachelor maybe but if you have children, you are just insane if you do that.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: marioantonini on March 10, 2016, 04:06:54 PM I remember the same story to one serial tv (i think is "Las Vegas") , when a man sell all this object and bet to the roulette, but the owner think "if is lose, people can think "this casino have ruined life of this man". ;D
only a crazy man can use all is life and bet to roulette, i think if i sell all my object is for buy bitcoin Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

Post by: martinacar on March 10, 2016, 08:44:18 PM No I would never do this, I think its to risky to put all your money on something that in most cases will fail.
Also if you are alone its maybe more possible but if you got a family it would be really crazy if you would do this. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: HilbillyFred on March 10, 2016, 10:47:56 PM No I would never do this, there are just too many things that can go wrong.
You are gambling on one number the win rating is just too small in my eyes. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: danielleayes on March 11, 2016, 02:05:50 AM I don't think so. Haha! There are many things in play when it comes to gambling. The risk is too high. I have a kid to raise so haha! I don't think I will resort to this much. I mean that's everything you got in your life. Thanks but no thanks.

Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: bitbaby on March 11, 2016, 02:51:35 AM A part of me thinks this was done for publicity and maybe the guy was somehow involved with the casino and was promised that he wouldn't lose.
But I would never go "All In" on roulette, Poker maybe but not with my life savings. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

More like, would you have the stupidity to do this? I've never seen anything like that. I sure hope I would never do anything that stupid. Lucky for him it turned out the way it did, but it could have been really bad. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

This is possible. I really don't think anyone in the right mind would risk everything in a casino in a single go. You can say it is a YOLO bet but still, losing everything and be a beggar if luck went against you is something that is pure stupidity. IMO. In a sense, if this is an advertisement for the casino, they are a win win. Casino gets exposure and the guy earns a lot of money. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: target on March 18, 2016, 01:28:37 PM you have to be so stupid to do this. i don't care what the outcome of his bet was, it is not wise to do such a thing. the risk is too high and in case of losing you will lose everything, become homeless. my legs are trembling just thinking about doing this. from the article: "All the interviews and documentaries that surrounded his bet guaranteed he earned good money – he would have won big even if he lost! A smart publicity stunt? Or a crazy and irresponsible Roulette story?" ;D Must be the later. He should be on drugs. No one in the right mind would do such unless of course he's lying because i do think he is. This is too bullshit to be real. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: thejaytiesto on March 18, 2016, 01:40:26 PM that was pretty stupid, not only because he gambled all he had, but because the gains he made are just really poor compared to the amount of risk he took. He returned home with 272k and bet 136k, he just doubled his money. If he put that on Bitcoin he could easily win a ton more since we area bout to go beyond doubling our money, and it's not all or nothing, you can always cut loses if you pussy out during a dip.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: TipZ on March 18, 2016, 01:57:31 PM He seems to know all the risk, it's sound stupid but heyyy that's his money...
I would never be able to do such a thing as I can't even bet a whole btc ;) Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

That's why I wouldn't recommend anybody to follow his steps. He most likely was in win/win situation but if you do it yourself you won't be. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: LoyceV on March 18, 2016, 02:24:10 PM That's the Australian dude from years ago, right? I don't really see why he'd have to sell his clothes too. For dramatic effect? It's not as if the few extra dollars that gives you are going to make a difference. But if you lose, you'll still need clothes. Same as if you win: you have to instantly start shopping for clothes instead of doing nice things*.
I would not dare to do this, it just sounds irresponsible. Maybe if I would be single. * As a guy I don't consider buying clothes a fun thing to do. Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

Putting the money into bitcoin seems a better move. In just a few months, he could have earned more without the risk of losing everything. He will just have to worry his daily expense until halving and after that he could have tripled the money or even more.Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: lolgato1 on March 18, 2016, 02:29:35 PM This would be a crazy thing for me to do if you lose you lose everything you start at nothing again and if you win you just doubled your worth.

In any case, im sure there are way better ideas to gamble that money in the stock market, rather than in some all or nothing stupid casino bet. Casinos are for fun, not for life threatening bets.

May be he got spare but to bet that high on roulette he must be crazy one. Although the chance is 50% to win and to lose but still it is a huge risk to bet everything on that. I can't imagine if he lose on that but at least he is lucky enough and after that he can have a great life Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

She's gambling for a living which isn't good. Whenever she win this things back and get more still is not good since the risk to high but whatever it's her decision to this that kind of thing. Don't ever do this to those who are reading this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGCdBsOIKYA Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this?

Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: JasonXG on March 29, 2016, 07:03:45 PM Wow, i think he had enough off life maybe and this was his last chance before giving up, i'm glad he won though but how that's so risky. I would never do that.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: bitdumper on March 29, 2016, 07:31:06 PM he must had a deal with casino
or he had time machine or he was depressed or he was crazy Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: tiggytomb on March 29, 2016, 08:48:42 PM Too much, this is a crazy crazy thing to do and what if it was the opposite outcome. I'm glad he won otherwise mentally I am sure he would be battling some form of depression, this is something I just could not do.
Title: Re: would you have the courage to do this? Post by: Navesh Sapad on March 29, 2016, 08:53:07 PM yes ofc i have the courage to this . But I am not an idiot like him to do this . Never will I risk anything that is important for me on gambling . its for fun , let it be for fun .
