Surf on Twitter (X) and then find this video,
where a man makes a bet at the Roulette table using all his saved money.
It looks crazy and people warn him, but with that tension he gets his bet.

He was very lucky and won the Bet.
But this is very risky.

It's about 50/50 odds, and he's in luck.
I myself have even done this silly thing but with little money.
LOL, there is no way I use all the money for gambling bets.
But I lost at every opportunity, so I stopped at losing.

Some such betting videos or experiences that really depend on luck,
makes us think whether we are that lucky or not.
Because many become unlucky gambling addicts with sad endings.

Some people are simply idiots. But first I wouldn't believe everything I see in videos like that. Would that man have done the same if there wasn't a camera in front of him? Besides, how can we be sure that they are his life savings?

If they were his life savings, I wouldn't be surprised if he would soon lose them with one gamble or another, or with drugs, or something, because those who take that kind of risk usually end up in a bad way.

Another "For Viral Video" mate?  ;D :D

this is what and how Internet and social media fooling people and who is in their
right mind that will bet his life savings just for 50/50 chances?

Not sure if I am going to believe this but for me? this is just a made up video because
he might earn more in youtube and other platform once he earns millions of views .

and if me? never that I will have this guts betting my life savings just to try in gambling.

@taufik123. It is not very risky with 50/50 odds, however, the big risk for him is he used all of his money on 1 bet. If he bet on red and the roullette ball went on black, it will be a very shameful walk to the casino's exit door hehehehehe.

This story reminds me of the movie Indecent Proposal where the husband and the wife bet all of their money in the casino. They lose the money and the wife was forced to become the girlfriend of an old millionaire with the husband's permission. The husband was paid $1 million dollars and he was very thankful for this.

yes we can't believe it completely, this Video is like a Reality Show that shows about someone's gambling atmosphere or this is made by a Casino that indirectly promotes the casino.

People who try their luck on just 1 round of betting are certainly quite crazy and as you said may be affected by illegal drugs so do not have any worries about losing their money. Or the guy still has a lot of money in addition to those savings, but in real life this is a pretty crazy bet.

---

It seems that this is a video that comes from the past before Youtube or social media as it is now.
I think this is a TV video made to promote a casino, and everything in it is paid actors.

---

hahaha yes you are right about that, His stupid act is just for making a bet for 1 spin with all his money.

LOL, it's not even just in the movie that events like this also happen in the real world, which in the end the wife will be a guarantee to pay off all gambling debts.
But how beautiful his wife is to be valued at $ 1 million

it doesn't look crazy, it's literally crazy.

 How do you take such risk and if it doesn't play out your way you go out and drink yourself to stupor and think on commiting suicide? Don't know what's motivating some folks out their to think through there ass and come up with such ideas as this. This is one of the reason why it might seem necessary to do a psychological test on anyone that's hoping on making such decisions because it's possible they are just frustrated about life and the only option they have is to try out this crazy idea.

Well, good for for him that luck shone on his part and the story didn't go as I expected of not I would have wished he lost it and learn his lesson the bitter way.

I just watched the video and what I observed is

• The dealer asked him if he is sure about this but then went on to say it is going to be the start of many interesting things for him

Looking at the statement of the dealer critically, it first made it look as if he was trying to discourage him however, he threw in some encouragement and say it is going to be the start of many interesting things. This is urging him to continue in the path in the future. Casinos like people like this knowing that the loss of the customer is gain for them.

If there is a documentary made on this individual , we would likely see where he took half of the winning and tried his luck again.

I am not condemning any of the parties. One is a high-risk take and probably loves the thrill of being on the high side, the other party is the one that produces the thrill and is purely in it for the profit. Can't say I blame anyone.

Gamble responsibly though.

Social media are making people crazy and they will do anything for their 5 minutes of fame. This guy was lucky and I bet you he would have turned into a "Meme" for the biggest loser if he lost that bet.

We know how this is going to end for him, because this gave him his 5 minutes of fame and that attention is more addictive than drugs or gambling... he will do this again and this time he will lose everything.  ::)

We should take all we see in social medias as if it was fiction by principle. I like Don Pedro Dinero's comment and I don't think he would've done the same if he wasn't being filmed.

On the other hand, this kind of content is very interesting for marketing purpose: when you see it, chances are that you want to feel the same (in a smaller degree, I don't think people are stupid enough to bet all their savings), just like when you see people drinking or smoking in Netflix. So who knows what is the real story behind this video, and without that knowledge it is better to doubt.

Saved money from gambling? Nothing bad in that. If it is a saved money for other things? That is greed and it is not good.

You said it is 50:50. It means that he pick half of the numbers and the chance to win is high. K prefer to go for 30% chance inn roulette but riskier and not encouraging for high amount of money. It is good that I should mention that j can not use high amount of money to gamble because I may lose it.

Yeah, seen this before, it's a huge risk on his part, it's not even 50/50 because you have the 0 as well. And it looks like though this is setup as the guy is being film so who knows what is the story behind it, maybe it's not his money. But I have seen this kind of risk as well many times, as I love to play slots as well. I had this incredible run of like 7 successive black numbers hitting during one night of my playing in a land base casinos. And I think those who loves roulette here could attest that they have tried this before, worst even bet their last money on a single digit for a 1:36 pay-out.

I haven't took such risk before In my life, and would never do such to the extent of using all my money to gamble. I don't even know what people think when making such decisions. What if he didn't win maybe he loose? Will he have thought of taking such risk ever again? Or what would his live have become? Because I no for sure that he will have felt emotional traumatized and jopadized. Although Gambling is for fun and not for taking eccessive risk that could end someone's life. Gambling should be played with what one can afford to loose not by playing with what will end someone's life so quickly.

That man took a risk and his luck favored him but that doesn't mean if we take the same level of risk and our luck favors us. The man was quite lucky during the bet that he won the bet otherwise the result should be loss of everything.

Gambling is a risky thing and putting all your life's saving in 1 spin is the worst anyone could possibly even think about. I do sometimes take risk but with less than 2% of my monthly earnings sometimes I avoid placing bets for months when I face enough losses.

The ones who don't win many times often end up being gambling addicts, so I believe it's much important to have some kind of limitations on our bets in order to avoid being addicts which could be no less than a nightmare in life of a gambler. I believe that we can enjoy gambling by placing small bets and even if we lose the bets we won't get much impacted by such losses.

 Oh come on! Did he plan to die after that? How can you use all your life's savings just to bet on something that may not turn out right? Yeah I know life's a gamble and you have to take risks but this is just plain stupid and doing this either shows you are tired of life or you are desperately seeking for media attention and according to what @Alphakilo observed, I think it's more like of the latter than the former.
If there's one thing I've noticed about gambling adverts is that their users are always winning no matter how difficult the game staked is so this could be one of such. Looking at the guy's posture alone, I don't see him as one who will do such except he's just a chronic gambler who believes in taking high risks and then crying foul later over a beer.

Crazy things gamblers do

Actions like this can lead to depression if the gambler eventually loses. This is a suicidal attempt and no gambler should be tempted to try this. A life's savings is a lot to lose, many would not be able to recover from this loss.
I just hope this man doesn't become an inspiration to many other gamblers because a lot of gamblers who would try this will go home in tears. Yea, gambling is all about taking risks but we should be careful not to take risks that will land us in more trouble. Gambling with a life's savings is an extreme measure taken and should be avoided by all means as the outcomes of such extreme measures taken are not always nice.


This could be one misleading publicity stunt targeted at promoting the casino and the games they offer. I bet you, there will still be some greedy gamblers out there that will get inspired by this video and do same. It will be safe if everyone sees this video as another fictional video that should not be tried by anyone in real life.

Even though they said that opportunity comes rarely or that you should take the risk in order to earn, have a reward, or win in gambling, I will never ever risk my savings; this is not the practical way of taking the risk, and not all risks should be taken. I'm willing to take risks, especially in this kind of gambling game, but not using my savings. Before I risk it all, I will make sure the money I will use is not the money that I can't afford to lose.

Imagine if things turn out wrong as the man risks all his savings; then it will be the opposite result. I get it, he got lucky, but what if he didn't? What if some people get the wrong idea about this story and also hope that they will win big if they risk something that is precious to them?

I was able to watch this video before. The video is old and seems legit, but we cannot know for sure the true story behind this video. Could be for marketing or a real life story. If this is indeed a true to life story, it's crazy to bet all your savings for 1 bet, but then he is very lucky that luck was on his side and won his 1 bet.

It’s not really 50/50 since there’s a zero(green) on roulette which is the house edge. I’ve done this many times but using only my allocated bankroll for my gambling. I remember betting 2K on a single bet on Blackjack just to test my luck. Luckily, my bet won and stop gambling for a week.


I really feel the stress and tension on this video which he shouldn’t be on that position if he just didn’t gamble the money that he can’t afford to lose, this is not the way people should use gambling and I’m curious how many people experience disaster after watching this guy and follow his footsteps because we all know that not everyone will be lucky just like him.  :D

You said the man is crazy but supposing he list, you will say that he is stupid. To me the man is stupid. How will someone bet all his live savings on gambling. I hope he will not have this mindset again as he won. What if he list? He may think of killing himself and he might even kill himself. People like to do things in a greedy way and not think of the consequences if it went opposite.

I'm not exactly sure which company it was but I think the founder of FedEx literally gambled the all the money they had left to save it from bankruptcy (he won, and the rest is history).

Yes that's how desperate he was. The company was days away from going bankrupt.

Although we all know that it is an incredibly risky thing to do and people regularly get burned on bets even with conservative odds.

I really like that FedEx story because it involves Blackjack game. He use his company last money which is 5000$ and manage to win 27,000$ by playing Blackjack. It’s x5 bankroll which is great target for a blackjack player like me.

To be clear, The winning amount from Blackjack profit is not the one really solved the company problem about bankruptcy but rather it gives him confidence to ask another shot to raise money from investors who initially turned down his proposal. He manage to raise fund worth 11M and FedEx becomes profitable until today. Probably he deceived investors that the company earn 27K on a short period of time without telling that he gamble that later on he disclosed to the public.

This lucky duck is probably good on card counting since Blackjack back then use a regular deck without continuous shuffling method.

Such an incident actually happens, there is no option anymore to double the money quickly except by gambling and risking the remaining money owned by relying on a fortune.

I've also seen a movie like the FedEx Founder incident, but I forgot the title.
In essence, he made his last bet to pay off his debts and the rest of the winnings were used to build his failed business.

This kind of risky thing sometimes gives the final way out, which will determine the profit or will only accept defeat in the end.
The first and last big gamble.

We shouldn't completely believe what we see on social media because we only see outside of things they want to share and let us know. While the main truth will be kept hidden in the shadows. This might not be all the money he had, even if that was all. He have investment, eich freinds and other source of income. Losing in the bet he made will not affect him later because he can afford to lose the money he used in betting.

Let us not be deceived. 50/50 bet is not as bad as we think. It is a risk and what is gambling without risk. What is wrong is that you dont have to use all your money just like the said gambler did. All hands are not equal so we should cut our coat according to our size when we are gambling.  

  In live there are people that doesn't care of what is going to happen if they lose anything that's very precious to them, this man that bets with all his life savings doesn't care anymore about the anything that will happen to him if incase he loses thr bet.
   I don't like such things because it can make someone to be very poor in life, gamble is about luck and lose, if you don't lose you will likely win but when you don't win yiu will lose.
   Less I forget, as a gambler if you bet with things you can not afford to lose you will not be able you console your self and truth be told that there will be no body to compensate you for your loses.
   The earliest you know that there would be no reward when you lose that's the better for you. Gamble is about 50/50, but I normally rate winning @10 while lose @90, so the earlier we realize this the better for us.

This could be a true story but i don't want to believe that anyone would risk all their entire savings just on one game  without even considering how difficult things will become for them when they lose all that money. Sometimes while gambling I can make the decision of gambling more than I can afford to lose  but I can never touch my savings for gambling sake..

If you take everything you see or watch on social media seriously you will be nurturing an unsatisfactory feeling  towards the results of all your endeavors in life, and this is just one of those social media videos gamblers shouldn't take serious because it can make you to start questioning your luck in life going by all the years you would have been gambling and had not secured a life changing win.

Why do they have to film this particular gambler at this point and what are the proves that he had to bet all his entire life savings for a single spin, or was that what the makers of the story want us the viewers to know just to catch public attention.

Hahaha, I found this to be very funny, like is this supposed to be encouraging people to start using their life savings to take risks? It could bring them good luck or something. Lol, I would rather stay broke than take such risks, there are many things I can do to bring me good fortune, but taking such huge risks like this is just not one of them.

Good for this fella, he could have collapsed or fainted if the opposite had happened, I saw a lady among the crowd, already trying to cry, she knew the risk was way too much, I bet she won't ever do the same.

Some comments on Twitter are calling this fella a ball of steel, I found this not to be courageous, it's a plain stupid thing to do, I won't encourage such an act, even though he won, that's a life or death situation that he put himself, it's a big nah for me.

Anyway he looks still young, still have time to save money again.. and who know, put it on another bet ! ;D

Imagine you work very hard and save as much as possible from twenties to sixties, then you will stake all of your savings on one games, it's either you will enjoy the rest of your life or die due to heart attack. :P

I won't dare to try this, it will bring a huge regret if I lose.

Probably it's real, the man is really using all of his life savings. But, we never know if his dad might be a billionaire and make $1M every month. :D

You may be right that the video is a pre-made just to attract traffic to their social media pages but we can not dispute the fact that people are doing unimaginable things when it comes to risk taking. I personally don't believe on things like this too as far as internet is concerned but there's possibility of legitimacy in that video too. This days, people can take whatever risk to increase their money without minding the outcome in case things backfired. No sane person will actually venture into something like that because I just can't imagine starting life over again simply because you gamble with your savings and lost them.

I would never do such a thing. That's just crazy. Did he even think about the "what ifs"? What if it loses? What comes next to his life?
I won't call this one as a courageous act or being brave, it's plain stupidity. He won. Does that make him wise? No. Because he might do the same thing next time and it will cost him everything. Why? Because he tasted the flavor or success when he won that one bet.
This is where people get addicted, because of their greed. They want to repeat the same thing as what happened to them while they are still a rookie but at the end of the day, we are all losers against the gambling platform, physical or online.
I bet he doesn't even have a responsibility like a family, because if he does, he would not do such a thing. I've been gambling for a long time and whenever the idea of betting bigger comes to my mind, I think of my kids first and that will stop me from doing a stupid mistake.

There are thousands of different people in this world whose intelligence I can't think of to appreciate. A man who gambles away all of his life's savings has a somewhat maddening sense of genius. Although in this case the man is lucky because his bet won, but think what would have happened if his bet had unfortunately lost.
One should never take such a big risk in life what would happen to his family if the man lost this bet. All his savings would have been reduced to almost nothing while his family would have gone bankrupt.

Not only very risky but crazy, the guy should not do that again he may not be lucky the next time, you worked all your life and you are risking losing everything if luck is not on your side, if he loses the roll he will regret all his life. He might do something bad to himself because of the depression.

Casinos should not let something like this be held in their casino because they will contribute to the man's depression all his life, casinos should promote responsible gambling, and betting all savings by one of your clients should not be tolerated by regulatory bodies, it's not entertainment anymore.

Betting on roulette is bet based on numbers or colors and it is chosen to determine the win based on the ball spinning and stopping in the column provided, this is fun game for small bets but to bet everything I think is crazy.
Chance of winning is indeed 50/50, but if you make mistake in choosing what to bet on, you will definitely lose everything, after all betting in crazy way like this is usually done by those who are desperate and trying their last luck.
But things like this happen quite often, not only in roulette games but also in several other games or even sports betting and these are gamblers who really don't have normal thinking.
Normal people who still have sane mind cannot possibly risk all the money they have in just one betting attempt and they still have sense of consideration for the money they can lose.

In this context, he did manage to get lucky because what he bet on could provide greater amount of profit, but luck like this will not be easy to get or repeat.
He is too brave in making decisions and taking risks but luck is on his side, I myself would never think of trying to do the same thing because maybe it could lead to poverty and losing everything.

Yap already watch these.

IDK, the video are from (casino) property. I always things typical video like these, just for a commercial purposes unless the video is based on individual/customer side by using the phone. I will believe the video.

However, mostly people watching these video are think the same like me. Mostly for commercial ads casino.

This is such a sight to capture, good for gambling promotion, but not a good lesson to share with gamblers around the world, I pity those who are moved by this video, it will end up doing more damage to the minds of gamblers out there and zero damage to casinos.

What I don't get is why they chose to roll the camera at this point, will they reveal the video if this man loses all his life savings? I doubt it because it will discourage gambling, and casinos will look not so good for many.


Here is my advice, be careful what you let into your head, some videos like this are intentional, remember that the old days, 80s and '90s were the best, until everything changed, the Television has its part in this, as many things we saw on TVs as a kid affected so many people too.

Some things are capable of turning your head upside down, some things are better not known, and they are meant to be shut away forever, all I am saying is let's be careful, there is a very weak line between becoming a responsible gambler and a recklessly driven gambler.

But he will be the laughingstock of people and a bad example of putting risk his savings in case he loses, and even if he wins people will think that this is craziness, we don't know what the guy's job and what's his mental state to put all his saving in one bet.
So far that video already has 1.8 million views, if you are a content creator it will give you a good idea to put on that kind of show and hype it.  :D
But seriously is it even legal to put in a show like that in a casino even if the casino owner stated that they do not condone this kind of act, gambling should be within the boundary of the law.

Possible yes, this is for clout only, and It hink that man knows that there's a set up camera in front if him. It's easy to fake everything and if we believe it, it means that we are just as easily manipulated. just like what was said in the reply, we are also not sure if the money he bet is really his life savings? because it's easy to say that even without proof. If this is even true, what he did was really risky and should not be imitated by others, because when it comes to gambling, you can lose everything you have in just one snap.

Gambling with all your saved cash might give you a crazy adrenaline rush but it's a risky move. That video on Twitter shows a guy betting everything on roulette and getting lucky. Still we gotta remember that luck can turn on you real quick. Smart move keeping it small like losing sucks and it's easy to get carried away. Better to enjoy the excitement in moderation and not risk everything

When it related to the luck, sometime people will risks their money and maybe they will uses big money to see their luck is comes or not. It's an opportunity that they will not sees too often so that's makes sense if some people wants to try their luck. The big the risks, people will want to test their luck so they will try it with some money.

Yes, many people becomes addicted to gambling. That's why you must used gambling as a way to have fun. You don't have to thinks to makes money from gambling although some people can make money from gambling. You have a different way to make money, especially luck. The best advice is only use the money you can afford.

I am with you on this one boss, I had a friend who always hate gambling and when a medical attention is needed for his father he used will he had to place a bet and miraculously, he won, I have also heard about similar stories, it's like a calling for this people to take the gamble.

This person never even gambled for once before and when it came to saving his father's life he made this crazy decision, my mind was shattered hearing that he took this risk because all I could think about was what would have happened if he lost.

---

Since that day, I have started to believe that nothing is truly impossible, do not judge anyone, and anything can play out in anyone's life, maybe we all have potentials we don't even know about, not until we are pushed to the breaking point, it's crazy what can happen in anyone's life, this world is full of wonders at times.

The fact that he won the bet isn't a good reason for any one to try such because you may not be lucky enough because gambling is a thing of luck, you have no form of certainty as to what the outcome can always be but if you are lucky then you shouldn't think it will always be that way, using your life savings is too risky for a decent kind of risk especially for a thing like this that comes with so much of uncertainties.

Gambling is very much luck dependent and so shouldn't be followed with such risk because it's never promising and if it goes against you it's going to be terrible as in some cases it will cause you ruine as your savings might just be all that you have gat and loosing it in such manner will only ruine you. always choose to gamble responsibly that way you will save yourself from any form of ruin that may arise from gambling.

I do not think it make sense betting all your life saving at once or even in series of bets. That is bad and can lead to unpredictable outcome like suicide even domestic violence. Most of the people whose stories of how gambling ruined them have this pattern of betting their entire fortune in common. We have read various stories how this always ends, from broken home to angry children and relatives, it always end badly. Even though this very case was successful, care must be taken so we don't encourage people to go that route because it is wrong of a gambling to do that. The right approach is to gamble with what one can afford to lose because gambling is not sure.

It doesn't feel true, why the camera? It's like the camera knew that this risk wasn't going to fail or something? It looked like a advert exeocted from a casino, anyways this is how I personally feel about the video.

Many people have risked their life savings in casinos and they lost, no one knew about it other than their families but in this case, all eyes are on this man, very entertaining it must have been for other gamblers.

Maybe this will have a positive impact on other gamblers watching this. I wonder what their gain will be on the casino's side.

Or maybe the man announced that he planned to use his life savings to play a single roulette game? Why this much attention? This is not a 50/50 it's a win-or-lose situation, a 0/1.

I really can't think of it. Because if a person puts all the savings of his life in a bet, where will he stand if he loses? I can never think of a person who would consciously take such a risk. Although there are many different people in the world, their thought are also different. But the gambler must be well informed in making such a decision. He must share the matter with others. Because there are many gamblers who may be addicted and don't hesitate to lose all their life saving money but when they come out of their addiction there is nothing else to do. Gambling is risky where winning or losing is uncertain. The gambler will lose and it should be anticipated what the gambler's condition will be at that moment. To win in gambling there must be risk. But that level must be kept within limits. I will never accept gambling with my last possessions.

You're absolutely correct, that's too much a risk for a gambler to take. These are the exact things that leads to depression and frustration, just imagine the odds at that time were against him and he lost everything, all his life savings in just a twinkle of an eye, imagine the kindof depression the fellow would have landed himself into, it would have been unbearable for some gamblers, and it could result to several decisions that'd affect you negatively at that moment.
We've heard people taking their lives and doing some crazy stuffs just because of gambling, this could be the birth of such actions.
Gambling isn't a do or die, it's not a way to multiply your wealth, but something you do for recreational purpose, that way you regulate your gambling habit and manage your risks to avoid falling into deep shits.

I think that person is lucky or is already an expert at the game, in every gambling there is always a risk, maybe he is confident in his beliefs to bet on that round of roulette. If I were him, maybe I wouldn't do it, even though I might be an expert at the gambling games that I usually play, however, we will never know whether the casino dealer is cheating or not, they could take our money without us knowing that the game could be manipulated. as I heard on the internet where there is a roulette table that can be designed to win the dealer.

But I don't like the game of roulette because I think it looks boring but maybe for others it's really fun, depending on each person's point of view and I just think the game of roulette is difficult, but this person seems to be used to playing this game of roulette because it doesn't look like a new player, so I think he also knows the risks because he lost all his money and he seems to accept it, a true gambler should accept defeat and the risks he accepts, not chase, let alone recover losses, which ultimately makes him addicted to gambling. I often see this video. only on x.com but also on other social media, this video always appears on my homepage.

Clearly shows that the guy got pure luck. Without him taking that risk he won't get that winning as well. But I can still see that decison as irresponsible because life savings is not a joke if he is not that lucky enough. If he lost that bet then he might become broke or even homeless. That video will also teach us important lessons about being responsible in making decisions on our gambling activities because we have the need to consider two things winning and losing.

I dunno if I believe the video is genuine. You can’t believe anything you see online these days, question everything, there’s a little life tip.

I have a feeling the casino probably paid him to do this skit. It’s a great marketing advertisement, it gets real suckers to do the same thing, in the hope they can win big.

I did some quick digging, so apparently the guy used his winnings to open a poker site but it went out of business after some controversy. from what I've read from an article, right now the guy has his own company and is doing well. looks like his stupid decision to sell all his belongings and bet all of it to try his luck went well for him. despite the success he has, I still see him as a moron who almost ruined his life.

This is an ancient video, it's been years since I first saw this. Surely this is a crazy move, but I understand it... For many of us, this is a lot of money, and few people would decide to make such a move, but the man was aware of his move, free to do whatever he wants with his money he decided to take a risk and won. He would be a real lunatic if he had a family to support or if he did it with the family money, but that is not the case here... he risked his money, I guess the money he could afford to lose, and I think we need to respect his decision.

Definitely a bold and crazy move and it paid off for this guy that time, but not all bold and crazy moves end happily! Before placing a bet like this one people must know that they can lose, and of course, to be prepared for that outcome.

In the video I see a man, no more than 35 years old. He has two arms, two legs and can speak.
Is it appropriate to say that he bet his “entire life savings” if he has most of his life ahead of him and no matter how much he loses he can earn much more in the future? I don’t know whether this video is staged or not, but I have a misunderstanding of the “importance” of this moment. I am not sure that he risks more than those who are (voluntarily or not) in the zone of military conflicts, in dangerous work, etc. He wanted to risk money and did it, nothing special.

Better if you win the bet what if you lose by losing all your savings? He will become a pauper instantly.

This action is stupid, I never do this because gambling cannot be considered to win even if we are sure, this is luck no one knows when to win.
People who do this can they be said to be frustrated? Risking all their savings is crazy.

Even only 5% of the total additional income to play gambling the rest can be used to invest because it is much better for the future.

He was able to take a very lucky risk and he was fortunate to win because he was confident and it worked for him. We don't have to copy this kind of lifestyle because it could affect us a lot. We need to know what to do so that we don't copy a risky bets that end up to be a win and thinking that the same thing is going to happen to us too.

We don't have to think in that manner because luck differs and not everything that ones for others will work for us. We need to be very wise so that don't end up doing things that is going to affect us later because we were never patient about the knd of risks we are taking. Life is good and at the same time we need to goof risks.

Feeling relieved with the reckless result, but behind this story, we are sure that very few people will feel admiration for this action, although success comes by a very short road, the level of trade-off is not just a small number, it is related to the years ahead. It's not to the point of being broke or becoming homeless, but it's not a good impression on the family of such a gambler and the hard work of youth doesn't pay off in middle age, it's not really advisable for many people to seek victory this way when it's just one of the rare exceptions

What kind of fun is it?  How could anyone make such a shocking decision? Although he won this bet and he was able to double his life savings in a few minutes but if he lost he would have lost everything and he would have been poor in just 2 minutes. This should never be done as it is a very big risk that can lead a person to death. Because a person can lose everything and die of depression.  So no one should take such a risk. This is a very stupid decision

He is a lucky man in the game of Roulette, I am sure this person already knows the risk he is taking for the savings he is betting on, this is really reckless and brave in making bets, you could say it was rare and something miraculous happened to that person, never imitate that person, if you try we could end up tragically losing, that person really had good luck in gambling at that time.

That's what is called fate and fortune, we never know when our lucky day will be on our side, just like the saying, hesitate to retreat, that's the right saying for that person, he doesn't hesitate with all risks and has done his best for himself in winning the game of Roulette, I give a thumbs up to that person for the success he achieved.

It's not only risky but plain stupidity, his family will disown him if he loses that money and if he is single it's a big turn-off for women, and if he is married he'll get a divorce for his reckless decision.
Even if there is consent on his part, he should be advised of the many risks after the bet whether he loses or wins compared to the amount of money he is going to win.
It's hard to trust this kind of individual who is reckless and stupid in his decision.

That is a really bad thing to do, gambling your entire life savings means gambling more than he can afford which is really a bad gambling habit. Gambling is based on luck though one can minimize the risk by putting in to consideration some factors and by gambling responsibly. Clearly this person in OP’s story is a reckless gambler and one day he will surely set what he is looking for, if he continues this way he will not always be lucky and would lose everything he has worked for.

This video maybe staged or not but there is message being passed, i just hope people will not be misled by his wins and consider following his footsteps. The lesson taught is not to gamble everything all at once but rather gamble what you can afford if not for anything at least to have something to gamble another day. Having hope is something we shouldn’t take for granted.

I cannot fathom on how a person can swallow this kind of nervousness- relying everything on one (1) bet in the riskiest possible way of a 50/50 chance. I just cannot imagine being in his position given that the result can either way- could either make or break his life from there.

In your opinion, would you guys do what he did? Lucky for him that he won that 50/50 but imagine you are in his position- would you also do that bet?

Personally and as someone who does not gamble as much before, I would never EVER do this kind of bet. I am also a person who always like to be safe. I would rather get a mediocre result than risking that 50/50 in getting the best/worst result in a given match.

BOTTOMLINE:
If you guys have come across this kind of situation in your life, better think about it before pulling the plug and risking that 50/50. Sure, there may be only two (2) possibilities but the risk is so much greater if you lost compared to if you won that kind of bet.

This is one of the things you see people do, you begin to think whether it really happens. I have heard of nothing crazier than this. This can't be true, in my opinion since no one would consider jeopardizing their life savings for a 50/50 bet that could quickly turn their circumstances worse. However, not everything posted on social media should be regarded seriously as presented because some videos are stated in order to attention to the user's YouTube channel, to have a large number of views for pay

I watched the whole video. The man is so lucky; he won the red. If I had the chance to do the same thing, I will. Why? Eventhough I know there's a chance that I will lose my entire life savings, I would still do it but with the condition is that my action would also go viral. Just like what happen to that video. After it goes viral, I would start vlogging or streaming gambling like many other streamers did before they became streamers. For I will have an audience because of that. And then look for sponsorship. Now my saving will slowly to comeback. 😆

sometimes some gamblers prefer to gamble their only savings just to get more money. they know that they probably won't be able to afford to lose that money and maybe they will immediately faint on the spot knowing that they really lost that money, but stupidly they still gamble the money on the grounds that they will be able to double their money faster. i don't know what such a person is thinking, because i think it's very stupid to gamble on something that you can't even afford to lose. and such typical people are short-minded and very stupid.

Sometimes what we think is life-saving may not be so,  because in this case, we failed to understand that the man may still have some support line that may have not been mentioned in this news and that we may not be making the right statement by saying so and this is because at some point we need to build that understanding of the fact that gamblers can be very secretive not to have mentioned everything and for that could be making some attempts that may not go down too well with the rest of the community in terms of making such discussions and contributions.

But since the man was lucky to have won the bet he may now happily walk away with the understanding of the fact that he was lucky and not to try that such of thing again in the future since he can easily lose his bet and walk away with nothing.

But now that he was so lucky,  he may not learn from that risk,  and may even decide to risk more thinking that he will continue to win and since we all know how risky it is to win through spin it may be an invisible dream and he will lose all at the end.

This action is quite crazy by risking all the money he has, I don't think many people will do this unless he is a heavy addict.

This is impossible for us to do,, because realizing to bet a lot of money we will not be able to unless we have a lot of money, especially with minimal money it will think twice, remember about the risks that are greater than winning it.

Lol. He may be happy because he won the Roulet bet what if he lost he might be disappointed with the results.
Still this should not be done by any gambler.

He's just happy because he luckily won the spin however, how do you think he would react if the other way around, the unwanted, happened? He might feel so bad with his decision and most likely regret doing so. It is simply high risk, high reward gambling. Idea here is that, he actually won; does that mean it is advisable? If you can endure losing everything if you happen to lose the game then feel free to do so but if you know to yourself that you cannot accept the unwanted outcome then never even bother to try doing so. Gambling is a test of your luck and luck is something we have no control of. If you are taking a big risk wherein you may suffer due to that decision then think as many times as possible. Don't put yourself in a situation that will make things worst for you. That's how simple it is to live, what's the need to complicate?

If you know how gambling works and you still choose to bet everything in the line, it simply defines you either you are greedy or foolish. The fact that you're aware means you are ready for whatever it is to happen and you have no rights to regret things if it turns out to be a loss. It is possible to win but possibility is different from certainty and guarantee of it.

My point of view would be the same as the OP's that however it is too risky a decision if you decide to risk your savings or savings for the benefit of your life in the long run. On the other hand I understand that there is the idea of "trying or experimenting" but of course I would never do or take or even suggest such a decision to others, and also yes I understand that everyone has their own luck in life, but it is a fact that one can never know when they will be lucky enough to end up winning.

In my opinion, the person told by the OP in the video seems to be in a depressive situation for some reason, such as maybe because of personal problems in life or maybe because the person previously experienced a lot of unacceptable defeats which ultimately made them think of making such a desperate decision, but yes fortunately he managed to get lucky or luck came at the right time so that he could get the big win. But my advice is one thing that however gambling is nothing more than an activity that must be done without putting any seriousness, none other than because it is not easy to achieve such a lucky situation that most of the cases that occur they end up in a terrible situation.

When you are in the position where you are the center of lots of audiences, the pressure to show your balls I guess might sway you to bet huge amount if not your entire life-savings. He got lucky though which is kind of good for him.

But he sure would be the saddest person that night if he lost it all. Yes, its stupid to do this thing. I would never put all my eggs in one bet.
He just got lucky since the bet is binary which he has higher chance.

Wondering what will happen if the result turns into other side, well lucky enough he won the bet.
I think the pressure of people around you adds up to make a decision like this, imaging betting that huge without any assurance to win, I can’t take such risk honestly. That life savings money means a lot for your family, better not to do this again because you might regret it, always have your bet within your budget.

I saw someone in the comment section said life is all about risk but I see that as a stupid and naive move for an experienced gambler that knows what he is doing. But he actually bet his life saving to in that game, he doesn't look remorseful or even scared of the outcome and I can see the lady behind was furious and scared, seems like she will be getting some cake from the outcome.  ;)

There is nothing that should warrant anybody to take this kind of bets, not even using your entire Bankroll on a single game outcome because the possibility of even making it is slim. If that guy was to rebet that roulette again. I'm very confident that he is going to lose that money without any doubt and casino will be the winner in the end.

I just hope that this win does not make him make such more risky bets because if he loses any of those big bets, he will just ruin his life.
Also, this bet and his winning through it, should not be presented in a way that he has done something brave or good. This is not an act of braveness but I would call it a foolish action.

Let's suppose if he had lost his life saving in that Roulette single game, how would he have felt ? Those who are saying that he has done something extraordinary would have been blaming him for his game. Even no one would have cared to help him financially. So whatever is the reason he or anyone else should not make such bets that can have a significant impact on their life.
If i were his friend or relative and came to know about it, i would have asked him to consult a doctor or phycologist as such bets cannot be taken by a common man who has some common sense  :o

This is both crazy and amazing... I don't know if I would call him reckless or brave, but this person has really strong beliefs. and thanks to this belief he was able to obtain quite satisfactory results. And if, for example, I personally did it, it seems like I would think repeatedly about risking that money, because how could I possibly risk all the savings I have on something that is not certain. But I say once again, that this person has quite strong beliefs, a belief that other gamblers, including me, don't have. but I never thought that if the end of the game was a defeat, would that person regret it...?

Gambling does provide an opportunity for someone to change their financial situation instantly, but it needs to be understood and considered carefully, that the risk of losing is greater than it actually is. And those who get big wins in the bets they make are only a small part of the many gamblers who experience significant losses.

Even though he won the bet, it does not still take out the stupidity from the decision. It was a stupid decision that paid off. If you a gambler consider taking this kind of decision, also be ready to face the possible consequences of your actions.

The man in subject may have had a personal reason why he was comfortable to take such a risk, and that reason we will never know.

People take a lot of crazy risk when it comes to gambling. Imagine someone will gamble with his life saving not considering if the games is not in his favor. This is how some gamblers behave, they prefer to use their last funds to gamble and if they lose the bet, we would not hear them say anything because they know that it is a stupid action.

This guy here is lucky, and there are some gamblers that have also tried this and succeeded but they are few. I would not try to gamble with all the money on me, because I have other important things to use money for. I also think that the casino is also trying to advertise their casino in this way.

I hope a newbie in gambling doesn't see this video and assume that this is how gambling works. Some of these new gamblers might want to practice what they have watched without knowing that gambling is highly unpredictable and risky. This man is a high-risk taker and is rewarded for his fearlessness. For me, I wouldn't take such a risk because I have a family that will suffer if I lose. I presume this man is young and has no dependants which makes his case easy. He alone might be the consequences if he loses but how would I take care of young children if I suffer such losses? I prefer newbies to see videos where irresponsible gambling led to a loss because it will make them careful with gambling.    

People who are willing to do this have a serious problem and if they are willing to do it once, it's likely that they might attempt it again which might result in them losing it all. It doesn't take any skill or brains to pull all your money out the bank and dump it at a casino table, hoping to get slightly richer. It takes a lot more brains to build up your fortune brick by brick, study how others grow their money using much safer methods that have much lower risk levels. There's a darker side that could say that this was engineered by a casino in order to drum up more interest and reckless behavior by people who might attempt the same thing, but the casino will win in the long run due to the odds involved.

In this case, this guy was very lucky to win, but there are many cases of people who did this kind of thing and weren't as lucky. For example, here in my country, since November last year, it has become common to constantly hear on news channels that someone in my country committed suicide because he bet all the money he had on a game of chance and lost everything. Every week at least 1 to 2 cases of this type have been reported on TV in my country, and something very alarming, just yesterday I saw two more cases of suicide in my country. This makes me wonder why they keep taking such risks when they were people who had a good job and a good salary until their death with good retirement rights

So I can't understand why they needed to take out big loans from the banks to the point where they had to pay with their entire monthly salary and they would take all the money they borrowed from the bank and go play at the casino and lose everything. They were probably driven by greed, but that's what I can't understand. and that they already had a good salary, although they were not rich, it was still enough for them to live well until their death, so I wonder if they really used all the money they borrowed from the bank to gamble because they thought they would earn a lot with it? more money and they would become rich or they were already addicted and very confident that they would hardly lose in that game and to prove to themselves that they are geniuses in that game

they decided to take the loan money and went to play and like people when they think they are the best at what they do they become very proud and never think about giving up so even though they saw that they were losing they continued playing until they lost everything and after seeing that they lost They all decided to kill themselves because they couldn't bear to live with the feeling of being losers, that's in their heads. By this I mean that this guy's attitudes lead people to death, lead people to commit suicide, and the worst path a person chooses, in my case I don't do that and there's no way I would do that

This is why its called gambling in the first place on which it is really that having that main thing on which it is really that something that pertains about taking up some risks.
It is really just that too suicidal thing on betting all of your life savings on 1 spin in Roulette on which this is something could result whether a total wreckage or having that a good call towards
into those bets you had made. Basing up on the story then it is really that good to see that he had been able to made it out and make huge money considering this is an all in bet.
No one would really be on their right minds that would really be testing out this kind of risking considering this is a life savings thing.
All in bet on a single roll? Even just thinking it, i cant really be able to fathom it out.

Its a crazy thing but i honestly don't really believe in this video because after all, when a situation is captured on camera, all sorts of possibilities come to mind and I'm a little dubious about the authenticity of what happened in the end.

Lets say i don't really accept that but it does go along with my rationality because after all with the current conditions it would be stupid to risk all the money we have just for gambling because the odds are not 50:50 because the winning ratio is much smaller than that so instead of doing a ridiculous condition like this I think I prefer to do gambling with conditions where I am prepared with the losses that I will take.
Although in the end we all know that this kind of thing where you risk all your money can still happen in some circles but I don't think that it will be a good thing especially if there are no cameras on it.

I agree with this, not everything that we see in the internet is true or real, some of them are just for the views or scripted.
It would really be hard to believe that someone would do such thing, just imagine how long they saved it, and they would just risk it all in gambling?
They didn't spend it on vices or gambling before why would they do it now?

Am wondering when I will have the mind to take this kind of risk. Because taking i will be scared because what if i lose. I don't think I will be to eat for days because were do I start from. I don’t think a reasonable person will take that amount of risk. Just exactly the way you said it the individual might be an addict and that is why he had that type of mind.

And I know people would have advised him and this things that can even make people commit suicide. Because losing a huge amount we bring him down emotionally and such things can lead to thing we do not expect. Lucky enough the man won so there is no much to talk about. But the dude should know the kind of risk his taking because he might not get luck next time.

First of all, I'm sure that video was created just for entertainment purposes.

Second, let's say that's true, I doubt the actual life savings are put at risk.

The expression shown was not the usual reaction of a person betting the entire life savings. Even how courageous that man is, he shouldn't withstand the real experience of being under pressure. Just another video rolling on the internet gathering views.

Anyhow, I won't do such a risky act. Gambling is already risky, I don't want to make it more risky by staking my life savings. That was crazy.

Whenever a gambler is faced with such option, it all depends on the past experience with that gambler because they are so many gamblers that have maybe tried to gamble with such risk before and maybe it have worked for them and so when they are faced with such tension they still have the mind to gamble with such risk hoping that the outcome will still be the same as the time they tried and it worked.

The luck is in the favour of this guy this time, it could be different with other people, and even with the same guy too, the case may be different next time, he could be unlucky and it will be terrible for him. It is senseless, no one should gamble with the money they can't afford to lose. The life savings of the guy can't be afforded to be lost, so it is not the right money to gamble with. What if this guy lost the money? He might just faint, or worse. People do not often take into consideration the consequences of their actions, and this is the type of situation that makes people get depressed, we all know what depression can lead to, it is better we avoid it from the beginning.

Gambling is an activity that should never be a must, we can invest our life savings rather than gambling with it. And if we must gamble at all, we should not make it an uncontrollable activity and we should never be greedy towards it. It could destabilise us if care is not taken, and the best thing about gambling is for us to have management towards it in terms of the money regarding the risk involved and self-control.

We should not live our lives in regrets due to gambling, the guy is not just wise and if he continues like this, he will surely regret it bitterly.

I don’t know why you would ever even want to do this. The risk of loosing everything can’t be worth the reward of having double. At least not to me. I almost would bet that he had some other circumstances going on. Maybe a pending inheritance or hidden crypto to fall back on. I can’t believe he would take this risk otherwise.

The player from the OP's story was very lucky that he won. Don't know what he would do if he lost it all. I won't take such risk as well. Maybe, the player has some other assets to fall back into, the reason why he decided to go all in. As we don't know his story, we are just giving assumptions here. But that's none of our business though.

I don't think many gamblers will go this route. We all know that roulette is a luck-based game, so anyone should know the repercussions before they even think of placing your chip on a roulette table.

I've already thought about gambling all my money in a 90% winning chance dice round, but never executed the plan for real. I think the possibility of losing everything at once like that would be devastating not only financially, but also emotionally. Just imagine, all the money you took years or even decades to acquire and accumulate gone at once in a single click. That is the perfect disaster recipe to go insane. Despite having 90% winning chance, it's still a risky deal, because the chance of losing is always present. Even if it was just 1% losing chance I think it wouldn't worth the risk involved!

I don't understand why anyone would do that.  On one hand you win great right?  But what are you really going to get with that money that makes the risk worth it.  The other side you lose everything you've worked your entire life for.  This just doesn't seem like it makes sense.  More tangible things to be able to buy does not male up for a lifetime of blood sweat and tears.  No thank you.

The truth is there are people who go for it with everything, they don't care, and in this case in the roulette luckily the guy won, it's actually very good when an ending like that happens, but that's something that at least I wouldn't dare to do, because savings cannot be left just one shot away from everything or nothing, there are people who, by doing or imitating this type of things, turn out badly and lose everything, so the frustration and feeling of guilt is very strong, I will not copy I would never have a strategy like that because it would basically be like suicide, something that doesn't make any sense to me.

If I go to a roulette I bet in a very controlled way, without risking so much, just try my luck and see what happens, even so things can sometimes go out of control but of course what this player did is a very reckless move, he went to the All-in and it turned out great for him, but I'm not a fan of copying strategies like that, you don't have good luck all the time, and I'm not capable of putting my luck to the test with such an extreme high.

It was a reality show called "Double or Nothing" and this scene was filmed back in 2004. Here's the story https://www.ladbible.com/sport/ashley-revell-gambler-roulette-spin-20220202

It may be fake but I bet this still happens in real life to ordinary gambling addicts. These are the things that causes some of them to take their own life since they think they have nothing left.

Overall,  it is crazy for anyone to risk such a vital aspect as life savings on a bet,  this could ve as a result of heavy addictions on the part of the man,  because I can't possibly believe what he may have thought to have bet 100% of his holding on a bets which result could be against him at any time.

Only addiction could drive a gambler to think in that line of thought because as an addict he is consumed by his urge to bet more since his focus will be on the total amount in winning when that happens,  anyways he was lucky to have won the bet this time and for sure he may not be that lucky next time,  gambling addictions have eaten deep into some people and they can no longer control their limits which is disastrous at a point.

Any ways also this could be another case of extreme greed where by the gamblers become greedy to want to get max.

I heard this show and also think they are just showing scripted scene there hopefully I'm wrong with my observation. But we can reflect that actions to regular gamblers since we can often see it on news that there are suicides happening due to their bad gambling activities. The numbers of said incident rising up so to avoid getting into such situation much better for a gambler not to think about to gamble their life savings and also they should never have an attitude that they gamble all on just single bet since this is really a bad decision to drop by anyone.

In reality, most people who did the same situation, going all-in and relied on luck, ended up in a much worst situation. The risked amount is not worth even a life savings but they end up to a wrecked life. That's a stupid thing to do to go all-in to the point that we won't left with anything once the bet will lose.

I know the video might be scripted but hopefully, no one will be encouraged on doing the same. That kind of big luck won't happen to anyone.

The price to pay is too heavy just to hope for that kind of luck.

That is a critical point regarding the dangers of gambling addiction. It's indeed alarming when people are driven to such extreme behavior, risking their financial security and well-being for the sake of gambling. Addiction can indeed cloud the judgment and lead to irrational decision-making, such as betting large sums of money with the hope of winning big. The intense focus on potential winnings can overshadow the risks involved in gambling. This can lead people to disregard the likelihood of losing and the devastating impact it could have on their lives.

It may seem fortunate that the person won the bet this time, but gambling outcomes are unpredictable because luck can quickly turn. The win of a single bet does not negate the long-term risks associated with gambling addiction. Extreme greed can also drive people to take reckless risks in pursuit of maximum gains, disregarding the potential consequences for themselves and others. This insatiable desire for more can fuel a cycle of compulsive gambling behavior, exacerbating the negative effects of addiction.

There are people who do crazy things just to make sure they win the game but sometimes we can call them all form of names and off curse we can call them name because if they don't win they are very sick but if they won we join and celebrate with them without knowing it's the risk they took made them to have made this winning otherwise they can't do that. We also need to consider what if they lost their life saving what could be their fate to start at square one or what maybe who knows if they could go committing suicide?
This very possible because gambling messed someone up when they don't expect it so what is the extent of taking this decision to go waste their life savings into gambling knowing too well that the game is 50/50 game and might likely cut off.

Since the man was betting on a fifty fifty chance the bet was more likely to win. Besides, it was not right from my point of view to gamble away all his life savings. The more simple I think the man is, the more misunderstood I am. The amount of greed inside the man was so high that he put all his life's savings into an uncertain prospect. Moreover, the man was lucky to be the favorite, so he won the bet and got his savings back, but if he had lost the bet, a little thought would show how much risk the man had taken. However, congratulations to the man on winning the bet.

Risking in gambling all his life savings, that person alone must be certainly insane. Even in potential investment like bitcoin, a wise person should never invest all at once his life savings, otherwise he’ll end up homeless and financial loss.

However, you are right there that not all videos are believable. Some are just a twist or something. But if it’s really true that he’ll be gambling all his funds, I guess we don’t have hold onto it, his money his rules. As simple as that.

It might just be a way to spice the videos to get more views on it, we didn't hear him say it was his last.
There is also possibility that he doesn't end up using them for something bad, and taking extreme risk doesn't mean your leaving on the edge, maybe his last card Is o small that it's worth risking considering what he is looking to get from that action or risk.

How of us here have not risked our last card no matter how small In gambling before, what he risked might be big to us but small to him and I seems fair that way.

Yeah, that's him. He has to save the company and that's why he tried to get some loan but declined and then did his last resort and to gamble everything that he's got with the company and luckily, he won and that's story became famous. But even if this worked for him, it's not going to work for the rest of us as it's just pure luck.

If it's about lifesavings, I wouldn't bet all of it. If I have last money and that's good as gone so I can step and get out of the casino, I'd do that. But for someone who has the guts to gamble everything he's got as life savings, that's really going to be a terrible mistake if fate didn't go accordingly to what he's anticipating for. But it's just so good that he's won it and whether it's real or not, there are situations like this that do happen in real life.

Its not fake, I've seen this play out before and I bet its been done a thousand times over the centuries of roulette being a game.  Its a calculated risk, not all possessions are monetary its possible the person gambling will actually be fine even if they lose all their money as many people are lucky enough to be supported.  

If they have a job they may still have the ticket home and the opportunity with good health to re-earn what they have lost, wish that all men are so lucky as they are not.  Ultimately we have to admit to ourselves especially this example outlines that rich men gamble while some cannot entertain such a past time if only because they have little time to spare or anything else.  Quite a few cannot spin everything on a roulette wheel because all their money is immediately owed to bills, what can they gamble freely if they have nothing hence gambling is quite a luxury.  I dont dispute some have this luxury and the spin is real but its not all of us for sure, my roulette spin would not be that impressive as I owe too much to do so.

If you don't understand why someone would do this kind of risky maneuver then that means you haven't felt the feeling of doing it because you've got nothing to lose anymore. I bet that he probably didn't even know that the risk is 50/50 because I've seen that he didn't hesitate but there's no eagerness too which can mean that he's ready whatever happens but not sure with the bet. Maybe we're so tied to material things that this concept of nothing to lose attitude is too alien to us, it's a good thing that we haven't experienced it though, imagine how chaotic this world would be if we've all got this nothing to lose, devil may care attitude, it's a fun one but chaos nonetheless.

Apart from this person who was lucky enough to avoid bankruptcy because he was able to get all his money back, of course there are many others who did the same thing as that person did, but maybe not all their savings, just all their deposits or money left in their pockets and experienced the unlucky thing of losing it all, so winning in just one spin is very possible but many more people can't get it and it's not just about luck but how gamblers are wise in using their money in gambling, because the chances of winning and losing will be equal portions of 50/50 so never be sure you will win gambling, and must be prepared for all possibilities.

that is a very good start to becoming addicted  :D
I'm not sure whether it's a real video or like a pre-planned film story, but still my message to anyone is don't do anything excessive in gambling unless you use money that you can really afford to lose.
Indeed, this is just about how lucky we are, but we all know that luck in gambling will only come once in a lifetime or you could say that luck doesn't come all the time.
I can only imagine the thoughts of people who bet with their life savings on just 1 bet and when they lose there is no other choice but to be frustrated and when they win they will definitely become addicted because of the increased dopamine because they feel very lucky and will do it again the next day.

I may really like the game of roulette but have never done anything stupid like that video which can make us lost in gambling, even though we have bet large amounts but not on 1 bet.

looks like an old casino advertisement? classic way of casino fooling people to make believe how gamblers can risk everything they had in single bet for a chance winning your money into double.

Roulette is my favorite table gambling and luck based but I will never risk my all savings just to have a single bet.

I'm glad you think so because you have to be a fucking retard to gamble your life savings on a single bet. It breaks all the principles of good gambling. While he's at it he could play Russian roulette, he only has 1/6 odds of blowing his brains out and he can get much more than double what he bet, depending on the odds he wants to give him who he bets against, but like 4 or 4.5 times what he bets.

50/50 chance, yeah because he just choose between red and back, luckily he won.

However, betting a life savings in gambling is already being irresponsible, what happen to the rule, "gamble what you can afford lose?.. this guy if his bet losses, he would feel the opposite of happiness, it's just insane to be our life savings without an assurance, of course since it's gambling there's no assurance. Honestly, even if the chance is 60/40, mine is 60, it's still a no for me to risk my life savings.

Spin Casino can explore all the bonuses and promotions available on the promotions page to attract new players and increase their bankroll but it's all over if they fall into their trap. Betting a whole fortune with life savings will result in more risk. You should never gamble with your life savings rather than lose your cash. It is better to avoid them by promoting many such videos.

Spin games are a lot of fun but they are very risky because no one can tell who will win when. When one bets on spins he has to give up his entire bet amount as a loss but if one is lucky he can win and if he wins he wins something huge which can change his life.  I'm amazed at the story the op shared here that a man put his entire life savings into a single bet. He was lucky enough to win there otherwise he would have lost all his life savings. It is good to gamble with risk but one should never take a risk where there is a possibility of losing a lifetime savings

In the spin games inside the casino I often lose and all I can say is that if you can't control yourself, you will end up really enjoying playing it. Because when it comes to spin games, you have nothing else to do but just press and the system or the manual roulette will take care of where the spot will fall, but like I said, I always lose in that game and I rarely win, you just have to really rely on your luck playing it. This gambling can easily divert your attention and you won't realize that your time and money are running out because you are enjoying playing.

At first glance on the image, I have a suspicion that it was fake and when I watch the video it seems my suspicion is true. If it was real, videos are not going to look like that and what is funny is that the guy seems betting small amounts only, according to the chips that he placed and now they call that a life-saving? Damn lol.

The act of gambling is not considered as a silly thing if we are only betting with minimal amounts, which should be, because the odds are stacked against the players. With that said, I don't think what you said there is true that the odds are only 50/50. There are still occasions that we can win even if our winning chance is much lesser than the house.

Well, with the amount of information out there and the ease to access to it we all have thanks to the internet, I think it would not be very difficult to prove this was some thing of advertisement done by some casino to attract new gamblers. What it seems to be weird to me is how those people are gathered around the roulette table watching for the guy to do his move. Also, it feels like the video ended suddenly from what I expect to be a victory celebration after him doubling his money. I don't know, there are certainly things which do not add up.
Though, It would be fair to point out that with in the things I have seen on internet there have been people who have done things which could be considered to be even riskier or dumber than this and yet there is some credibility on their actions, so I would not be surprised there is some day out there who actually thought gambling all his money this way was a good idea.

I know I would personally never do something was dumb and risky as this. It is the kind of choice which could ruin one's life in a blink.  :(

But that will not stops people to try their luck and still playing gambling. Yes, that promotions attract many new players and they try to win the games but unfortunately, only some people that understand about the trap so they don't playing gambling too often to reduce the chance of losing much money. When they understand about the trap of playing gambling too long, they will not try to spends much money and time because that will only makes them tempted to continue gambling without stops. You should not risking your life savings for playing gambling and expecting to win much money because winning on the gambling games is not easy and we already see many people losing much money. We don't have to follows what they do because it's our money and we must responsible with our money.

I’ve watched the video and it looks like an episode on one of those CBS Reality shows. I’m not convinced the video wasn’t staged. I have seen a lot of crazy things people do just to go viral on the internet. Assuming the video is real and someone did bet his lifesavings on a Roulette game, that would be the height of irresponsible gambling. People cheered because he won and the risk involved makes it a beautiful story to tell. But there is no telling what he would have done if he lost the bet.  

I hope no one takes that seriously and in the future, no one will try to bet all their life savings because it's cool. No, it's playing with the devil to risk everything. Yes, the outcome is everything back 2x but one shouldn't gamble with life.

No, it's not about 50/50, there is a zero besides black and red colors and on some roulette there are also two zeros, making your chance very slim.

It's a TV show, no one loses live savings in TV shows. This man was probably left with only these chips and decided to bet all of them on red and lucky he won.

Stop it guys, that is a old video of him,

Here is the latest one, he comes back after 15 years (the initial video), when he bet on  a double zero roulette machine.

But this time, he has better odds, play on a single zero, and bet on the red. I wouldn't tell you what will be the result, watch till the end.  ;D

But I guess this is a promotion for the casino itself.

Of course, with the development of technology, everything makes everything easier, including the many products that are advertised, as is the case with gambling. It's true what you said, this is a kind of advertising whose aim is to attract the interest of many people and new gamblers. In my opinion, this is a natural thing, when someone gambles by risking large amounts of money, of course it attracts the attention of many people, including people gathered at the roulette table. It is possible that they are interested in seeing the gambling carried out by someone who uses unusual betting amounts.

There is a possibility that they gamble by risking all the wealth they own because they may be annoyed with gambling which always ends in defeat, so they have big risk thoughts like this, by risking all the assets they own. but even so, in my opinion, by taking this big risky action, of course we have to be able to accept defeat which will clearly occur, because with the existing victory it is not certain that we can get it even if we do it by risking all the money we have. It's true what you said, this is a choice that can destroy our lives in just an instant.,

One of the main reasons on why gambling business is really that profitable is that because into those kind of approach of people who do make some all in kind of betting on which they do even comes into a point that
they are already risking out their life savings without even trying to realize on the actions that they are tending to make. You wont really be thinking up the consequences before it would happen and this is
why gambling industry is really that profitable into its owners because of this kind of behavior of people on which they would really be that thinking up mainly about those what ifs they would really be able to hit up
the right spot? For sure it would really be a huge profit for them.

Some could really be able to mind off about the risks involved and some couldnt really just that mind off that well and really that rather be continuing on the things that they've been doing
until they would really be able to make themselves getting busted.

I didn't want the video anymore because of this. If it's a promotional video and they got the attention of the people, then it was a job well done. This looks like Drake getting partnered with stake and his bet could be sponsored too. Everything we see now in terms of big wins or losses are just probably sponsored because real bettors who bet bigs would not make their bets public, they are silent and are just enjoying what they are doing.

Well it's funny and fascinating as he used all his savings for bets but he should thank his stars for the luck, something of such happened to me too years back but it was not my savings of course I can't use my life savings for such.
I was having a last penny that wasn't even up to carrying me for days and then I had it in mind to bet with it paradventure my luck was good it amounted to a huge sum that lasted me for a very long period of time .

Sometimes I believe taking risk guarantees your wins on a higher base but the fact that you took that risk shouldn't give you the morals to keep doing same as it will generate to a loss in the long run.

Who the fuck does this ? I mean how crazy can you be to have taught that it's guaranteed to do such a thing with your hard earn cash well except the money he stake was also gotten from gambling because I have seen so many gamblers give such excuses about going all out with some huge funds and when being asked about it they claim it's also free money that's why they can be comfortable gambling such funds because I believe if you are stable and worked hard for that money then gambling it all out will be the last thing you would do.

It could be, so I will not get emotional about it, although this man has done it years ago before the age of social media, for the clout and click bait. But in any case, definitely at least there could still be gamblers here in their right frame of mind will not put his entire life savings and gamble it 1:1 or at least that's how he said it.

He got lucky twice that's it, no need to rub it in or just show and promoted the casino name again and good for him. It's all about luck or maybe the casino itself rigged the result and make the ball go to a red number. And it's interesting to land on the highest number, which is 36, so that alone looks very suspicious to me.

It's crazy to think that some people can do this. Fact or just a story, it doesn't matter, this is something that we must not do in our gambling life. Savings means everything and I won't be foolish enough to do that same thing the player did. You could invest it, create a business, or just save it for you future, but risking it into gambling is a stupid idea.
This kind of decisions is not being brave, it's about a mental weakness because he didn't even think through what will happen if ever the bet goes south. If he has a family, they will probably leave him or he will get the mouthful from his wife that he will not forget in his entire life.

Obviously it is a very stupid decision and action by risking all their life savings, on the other hand maybe I can also do the same thing but not in gambling but in something that does have the potential and certainty in terms of its benefits such as allocating money to business or other things that do have guarantees, but if you do it in gambling or in the sense of putting all your life savings on gambling then obviously it is a decision resulting from very silly thinking, it's like you hang the fate of your life on something that cannot be predicted for the problem of the results.

We must understand that gambling is always about high-risk activities plus there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone if they lose in the end, or simply if you lose it means you lose all the money you bet and that is a very bad situation. On the other hand, I don't know what the initial cause was that made them make this kind of careless decision, but according to my prediction, it seems that previously he had a lot of losses that he could not accept which in the end made decisions that were far beyond the ability based on emotions.

Maybe the first one is real and since it got viral, a certain casino realized that they could use him to advertise their casino, so they get him as secret endorser and of course the guy is getting paid secretly. That was just my theory as the first one happened a long time ago, not much hyped that time, but this time we are in the digital age, gamblers are slowly transitioning online, so it's a big help to boost a casino's popularity using the same man that went viral for his "bet life savings", challenge.


Yes it's purely on luck.. .but rigged... that's too much, no casino would rig a game that has a good reputation or at least wants to grow their reputation. I mean, why would they rig when the risk of getting caught is possible, and if they get caught that means everything they built through time will vanished.

Gambling is built on chance, not skill. You might think you have a system, a lucky charm necklace you wear every time, but it all boils down to luck.  Feeling like a genius after a win is easy, but that same luck can disappear faster than your chips. Gambling can be fun, a way to add a little spice to life. But the key is to treat it like a night out at the movies, not a guaranteed path to a mansion.  Setting limits, like your 2% rule, is your best friend here. You wouldn't spend your entire paycheck on movie tickets, right?

Losing is part of the game, like that awkward moment you trip walking into the casino.  Accepting that upfront stops you from chasing your losses like a lovesick puppy.  Remember, the casino always wins in the long run, kind of like the house always gets the best snacks at a party. Those stories of people winning millions? Yeah, they're the exception, not the rule.  For every winner, there are mountains of folks whose lives spiraled because of gambling addiction. Don't risk your future for a fleeting dream.

This is very risky that should never be repeated again. I know many people won't talk about the risk he took, what people will talk about is the win which they will celebrate it. Even if he won at last I can never accept this because it is risky. If he had lose I'm sure by now he might have done terrible things to himself. In this case  the most important thing is not about the the wins but his mental state,  if he had lose playing with all the money in him.

It is hard to get luck like this, I will advice this should never be done next time because next time their may not be luck as this one. Gambling can never be predicted, and it is hard to get continous luck like this in gambling.

Social media paints a distorted portrait of reality, especially when it comes to gambling. We see carefully curated feeds showcasing wins and triumphs, fostering the illusion that riches are just a lucky bet away. This facade fuels a dangerous misconception: that gambling is a viable path to financial security. The truth, however, lies in the unseen. The countless losses, the emotional toll, and the financial strain – these rarely find their way onto social media. They are the shadows lurking behind the glittering highlights. Even for those who appear wealthy, a single loss can be a drop in the bucket. Their financial security isn't solely dependent on the whims of chance. They have a safety net woven from investments, savings, and diversified income streams. For them, gambling is a sprinkle of excitement, not a lifeline.

The allure of the 50/50 bet lies in its deceptive simplicity. It feels like a calculated risk, a coin toss with potentially life-changing rewards.  However, the true risk lies in the gambler's mindset. The thrill of the potential win can easily cloud judgment, leading to reckless behavior and a disregard for responsible bankroll management. The danger isn't the inherent risk of the bet itself, but the gambler's emotional attachment to the outcome. Gambling should be approached with a clear head and a predetermined budget, a set amount one can afford to lose without jeopardizing their financial well-being.

It turned out to be a happy ending, so no one would be able to insult him too deeply like if he lost the all in bet. Even if he wins, there will still be those who think he is careless, even though it is no different from betting 10% many times and the last all in was also 10% of his last fortune.

But I don't think this is fair enough. If the bet results in a loss, then his life will end there, considering that he risked all his savings on one bet. However, even if he wins he won't quickly become the richest person in the world, because there are still people living richer than him. So I don't want to take this kind of risk even if he is safe from the risk of gambling.

I mean i gonna give that to give having that kind of courage but for sure it wasn't a wise move for him because losing that bet would is just going to be devastating for him, it's going to be very difficult for him in order to recover if he lose that bet, luckily he was able to win that, but in my opinion it wasn't going to be worth the risk for sure. Life-saving was difficult to bet in the first place because this saving came from all of your hardship, salary, etc. Most of the time you just choose to save money so just you have a small percentage that you could put in your savings account, prioritizing your savings instead of just using it to buy what you really want and what you really like to eat something like that, Personally, I do have a lot of lows, I even tried doing delivery and around 2$ every delivery was really not enough to pay its really a difficult times, and knowing how difficult it is to earn money, It would really hurt spending that money that came from my hard work on just like food that I enjoy because I know that it was kinda expensive, then I would just choose the cheapest one which is good enough even though it wasn't my favorite and wasn't really what I like. Then just imagine just risking it on gambling where in just a blink you could easily lose all of that work or saving of your life.


For sure he might be happy right now because he won that bet, but for sure it's going to be the other way around if he loses that bet, he might just get depressed, I mean we already see a lot of cryptocurrency traders losing on trading that could easily end up on something like suicides, depression, etc. That can also be the case here,  betting only what you could afford to lose is good advice at this point.

The positive side is, there is always a chance to win a bet no matter the risk. Someone will win it even at just 50/50 odds.
On the downside, he would lose all his savings to pay for his high confidence on a game with 50/50 odds. The chances of winning and losing are the same, but he also has the potential to lose all his money if he loses. This is not something that would be great to imitate in gambling, but some desperate gamblers might do it.

To me, I don't even like this form of risks at all, like I don't really know what some people take this life for, a kinda joke? Mehn that risk is fucking crazy and believe me this dude is gonna repeat this risk again in the future.

I know because he won, a lot of people would be congratulating him without thinking if it had happened the other way round what would have been his fate because regardless of the fact that he succeeded at last, that risk is too extreme but however, everyone is entitled to how they want to live their lives after all it's his money I mean his savings and not my savings so he's lucky to have won but no amount of eagerness can lure me into staking all my life savings on gambling, damn it i can't fucking try this shit at all.

Anyone who keeps staking all their money or assets to gambling will one day go broke believe me, something that the chances of losing and winning are in equity is what someone will stake all his earnings on, some of this reasons is why I don't have compassion on some persons that were once wealthy but all of a sudden the table turns and they began to find things difficult because if you check very well, majority of them are involved in staking their assets and life time earnings.

It's quite impressive to see how all the members responded about the Video.
Some say that the video is just a setting video that has been screened well because it is unlikely that someone will be willing to risk all his money in just 1 round.

But some people also say this could have been real, and the bet was done consciously and knowing that the risk would be very high and this is quite crazy.

These responses indicate that each person's point of view will be different about the video.
Here I just want to emphasize that taking lessons from such betting videos is wise,
so it will warn ourselves not to be rash and full of calculations to make big bets, because luck will not always come.

I always think in gambling the chances of losing will always be greater than winning. I won't talk about the positive side because it wouldn't be right if someone risked all the money they had, even if that money was money to meet their living needs. However in gambling we always say to always use money you can afford to lose. Don't let us risk our own lives, always look at the risks, don't just look at the winning side, because if we always look at the winning side, then we will become gamblers who won't be able to control ourselves.

If we look at the number of wins we will get, then we will have more money than we had at that time, but that is something that is wrong in my opinion and should not be a gambler's point of view. I suggest looking at it from another point of view, just imagine we have to lose everything in just one round? regret will be useless at that time because no matter how sorry we are, we will never return the money we have lost. So think carefully, don't let yourself be controlled by expectations that are too high.

To me that is plain stupidity as no matter that this guy won the bet,if he played 99 other times out of 100 played the majority of the bets would be lost ones based on statistics and probability.I was a bit concerned watching the video as I was imagining myself doing the same thing and that is extremely scary to say the least.

I would never do such thing most likely because I am or at least I call myself a wise gambler,knowing all my odds are against me and knowing where to stop,I have been able to play very little money in any gambling session ever since knowing my odds,so this is for me is extremely scary.

Gambling is more likely to lose than win betting with all of your life is nothing but stupidity. There is no exact guarantee that you will win the bet however, other good roulette bets are a bit more complicated. The probability of winning on each spin is very low many people think that if players win this bet they gain some points. This is compared to a unit if players can lose without hitting their number. Learn to control yourself and never take such a big risk on the gambling stage. Once lost it can never be recovered.

Hmm, yeah that makes sense. You have tried to explain it well and I quite understand what you mean.
The risk is always there and may even be higher than the chance of winning, but I am sure that every decision taken in the end has been well considered even though everyone says it is bad.

Some gamblers have desires that are difficult to control and they can even gamble beyond their budget. We would definitely say that is a bad thing, but for them it is an opportunity that they believe can bring them profits. They are the ones in charge, we are just commenting on it.

The Thing is that these gamblers are fund of doing all these kind of things and I say this maybe due to the fact that they might have been practicing the act little by little till they got so confident to do it on a large scale and that's why some gamblers don't even reason the consequences involved if they lose the bet because they are used to such pressures and risk but I believe for a gambler who is not used to such risk, I know for sure that he will certainly going to think twice before involving in such risk.

Man, as a financial advisor this is certainly not something that I would ever recommend someone do with their finances, but it's definitely makes for a fun/entertaining bit for everyone else lol. 

The odds are even less than 50/50 which makes it all the more dangerous/scary.  I love roulette personally, it's an easy game to play, but I worry about it being provably fair playing online.  I play here and there, just for fun..just not sure how many online casinos I trust.

There are a lot of fucked-up stories on the internet nowadays about how some people are just crazy when it comes to making decisions. Like, who in his right senses will even think of using all his life savings to run that bet?
 
For a game whose result is under probability, you can't be too sure, and such a risk is very high. I believe people can place bets on high-risk games like this, but not with their life savings; no one will take that risk; it's nearly impossible.
 
The money he used to place the bet might be very big, or maybe all the money on his bank account at that moment, but that can't be all his money as he will definitely have something to run back to if this fails him, maybe business or something of the kind that can bring something to the table, but whatever the case, maybe this kind of gambler has very little time until they lose everything back to gambling as they don't appear to be the type that takes advice from others.

For me, any gambler that believe risking the entire money on a bet is having a wrong thoughts and beliefs that can possibly leads him into losing all his entire savings and anyone that have that kind of mentality will eventually ended in loses and that will not be what he may expect, any ways, being able and lucky for the guy to have won the bet, was a nice one for him, but he shouldn't risk his luck next time if not he may end up becoming bankruptcy when he lose.

Yeah, most gambling addicts have a sad ending, that is because addicts gamble with what they cannot afford to lose and when they do this often, they are surely going to lose really big and have a very bad or sad ending. Your savings should never have anything to do with gambling, you should only gamble with your spare money or a very small amount of money that does not have too much value to you. The fastest way to run into debt and financial problems is to gamble with your savings.

saw this a few weeks ago and while I wouldn't really recommend the same stuff for the regular joe, if I'm not mistaken this one's pulled from a reality show and they basically had the opportunity to rig it in the guy's favor some way, couldn't find the proof for this as well so don't quote me on this, besides, that's not the point of my reply anyway. This video is a testament at just how deranged people could be when given the opportunity to go nuts. He knew he didn't have to bet his entire life savings on the line, the casino/banker even told him the same things albeit non-verbatim. He's pretty much had all the cards laid in front of him telling him to not do it and yet he went in with no lube towards a 50/50 chance at living like a broke college student once again. Luckily it all paid off in the end but we all know what happens when we do the same thing, we lose and we become the bums of the planet Earth.

That is why I love watching people like him who make the stupidest bets on the planet. Not because I want to see them suffer or lose money, but because in some way or another it eases the itch in my subconscious asking me to make these bets for myself for the lols. Watching these people makes me feel like in some way, I made that bet myself, with the added benefit of course that it's not on my dime.

Majority got a sad ending since they didn't manage well their expenses and expectation on gambling then they do excessive things that cause them harm that's why some of them end up in miserable way. That's why its important for gambler to know their priorities and reflect on bad incidents happen to those addicted gamblers so that they can avoid the negative complications brought by uncontrolled or abusive actions they have done and they can still continue to gamble with moderation and can able to enjoy each game they are participating on.

Yeah it is what it is, when it comes to gambling, the house always wins and almost 90% of those that take such risks ends in loses just that this guy was extremely lucky to have won his bet in that nature if not he could have ended in big regrets if he hard lost the bet, I don't know what his motivations was to have taken such step of giving up all that he saved up on one bets which places him on a deadline or win it all jackpot.

Any ways this is not the first time I read about gamblers taking such risks, but the good aspects is that, when gamblers takesuch one shoot risk they end up winning the bets which make them better off after all and this is one of such scenerios.

Did someone verified that it was his total life savings he used to bet? Because in my point of view, he's ready to throw his life away. I did not watch the video, but by just reading I could definitely tell he's life is about to go to the wrong direction.
He might be lucky this time for being able to get the win, but luck doesn't always favors us. If he's done it today, there will be a huge chance that he'll do it again the next time.
This is just one of the example of bad gambling habit. Showing this in public might only encourage some desperate gamblers to do the same way. I once witnessed someone who put his whole month of paycheck in one shot and that guy was very unfortunate because he lost. That for sure taught him a lesson, if he ever thought of doing that again, then there's no doubt he's got addicted with gambling.

Yes, that is also my question about whether it is true that that amount is the entire savings for his life or he still has money elsewhere such as other assets, I cannot know the truth because what the OP said he only said that someone risked all his life savings, but it could be true or false. But on the other hand, there is nothing wrong for us to believe it, and if it is true, then of course this is one of the worst decisions ever made by someone and I am sure that this action was not based on any previous thinking or consideration, which means that most likely he did this action based on emotions due to previous defeats that he could not accept.

On the other hand I would not care even though they basically managed to get a very large win in the bet, because of course what should be the main concern is the way and actions that are too careless in choosing decisions, because the reason is clear as you say that even though you are lucky today by getting a win but luck is not something that can always happen, meaning that it can never be known when luck will come and go, and also yes what is worried is that there is a possibility for him to do the same action someday because today he managed to get a win.

Yes it is true that publicizing events like this can actually lead a person into a positive and negative mindset, which I think there must be some people who see this incident to imitate the actions taken by the man mentioned by the OP where they risked all their life savings in one chance and there are also those who see the other side where they take lessons and lessons from this horror-inducing incident, and my advice to anyone here is to try to think rationally in viewing and addressing gambling, with this I am sure you will know what to do and what to avoid.

This is a very particular case, and when a person makes a decision like this they have to know what is at stake, they cannot leave things like that just for a chance, that is something very dangerous, the mere fact of saving means the effort that It had to be done in order to reach a considerable amount, because if you lose, how will you survive? with empty hands and like a real fool, because before doing something like that what I would do is buy BITCOIN and wait as long as necessary to see many profits, but the truth is I wouldn't put it on a roulette wheel, it is something that is very irresponsible , which for me is not something viable, it is a very irresponsible act.

But since there are many people who have another type of thinking, well, one respects it and everyone takes their risk as they want, if they are a rich person they will simply be very calm if they lose money, it will not affect their daily life, they will have a way to respond to your needs sooner.

In the case of the majority of people who unfortunately do not have that monetary capacity, they have to take care of themselves, because many times addiction occurs due to lack of money or the decapitalization of money.

That's a very big and costly mistake which personally I can never try or advice someone I know to do that, reason being that in my country, there's nothing like social services, or home Care for the aged. Every retired senior citizen know better than betting with his entire life savings. Because a loss will end you up in abject poverty and a beggar, with much hatred from anybody that heard the story of your foolishness.

I think this man can count himself lucky for life, he took his gambling habits too far and is not advisable for anyone to imitate him. That's not responsible gambling at all. He won actually and congrats to him, but he never showed good example to those looking up to him if he has any.

I am sure that is not his life savings because no one would ever do that. If he ever loses, what will happen to his life? Even if he has a second plan if he loses that bet, it is still hard for him to recover since all of his life savings are gone because of one bet. Maybe it is his only gambling budget; no one would risk putting all of his savings on one bet unless you are a crazy person.

Looking at the context of the video, it was a reality show, so maybe there is a chance that is part of the "script" where he would double all of his money. But if not, good for him; he has some balls of steel for doing that. I hope that he did not gamble again after that win.

We never know though but anything we can see online might not be real, so it's good that you have doubts on this one as it will not influence you to follow what he did, actually twice since there was an old and new video. Personally, I think it's just for a promotion or just a show as no one in with the right mind who risk his life savings that he saved for his future (whatever his plans) to gambling that in just a blink of an eye it could be gone forever.

A person that'll stake all his life's savings just for a spin of roulette is either crazy or the video is staged to promote irresponsibility, because no sane gambler who has responsibilities will risk all his money to gamble , which which depends on luck. It's said that he that is down fears no fall, so if a gambler is very poor that he wants to use his last cash to gamble, then it can be understood that afterall if he doesn't gamble the money that it'll all still be spent on the next meal, but for someone that has a substantial savings and wants to gamble it all at once is nothing short of insanity.

Sure, there are plenty of examples (mostly in movies) where a bet of a lifetime can work, but that's a movie. In real life, you have to think many times whether it's worth risking everything for one bet. It has to be super-confidence, and even then it's not enough. Decisions are hard to make - and often made at random (or maybe based on a dream - but who sent you that dream, angels or demons?).

When someone is addicted to gambling, then it means they can’t do without gambling, and they do weird things just for the sake of gambling, as long as someone is addicted to gambling, that means they can’t control their gambling behavior, and they will end up gambling with the amount they can’t afford to lose, and after losing, they will end up trying to win back all their losses, in the process of trying to win back their losses, they will lose more. Most addicted gamblers always end up regretting, and it’s always late by then. They will have sold their properties and gamble with the money, they will have lost everything they have before they do come back to their right senses.

Why will you even gamble with your savings, it’s not reasonable to be, why will you save money, and at the end you will end up using the money to gamble, that’s crazy to me, but as we all know, addicted gamblers do always do crazy things.

I really think this is more common than what we may believe, it is just that it was not recorded or it was never shared as the person lost everything, it is because of this that even if I like to gamble we need to encourage others to do so responsibly, since a single mistaken decision is more than enough to turn your life around, and I am sure that even casino owners do not like this, as even if this can bring them some easy money, this can discourage other people that may have liked to gamble but that are scared this could happen to them.

All I'm gonna say about this is ; that dude was damn lucky and it doesn't guarantee that it'd be the same outcome should he ever try that again...the problem isn't usually about winning before trying to quit, its usually about getting enticed by the major wins you had..(including the minor ones)
Oh brooo!! That's exactly what makes alot of people enticed... "I once met someone that vowed to try their luck on gambling"... They've done a whole lot of businesses and it isn't just working out.

Interesting, the most interesting thing is where this man bet all his savings in 1 spin of the roulette. yeah, like the title of this thread. The matter of winning or losing, for us is a common thing that gamblers should know. but what is interesting to me, is what made this man risk all his money on one spin. reckless actions like this were commonplace for us, but not as reckless as risking everything on a single spin. The problem is, the information you shared doesn't tell the story of why this man did it. so that's why I say interesting, because there are many factors that caused this man to do it. It's not just an addiction problem, even if you are an addict, it's not certain that you will be as determined as this man to risk his entire savings in one round.

Uniquely, this man was successful and managed to win what he bet on. well, after that we don't have any other information on how it goes. because in the link you shared, it only says a man won the bet in one round with all the money he had. luckily, this guy won and let's just say he went home after winning. but if the opposite happens, if this man loses. Just imagine, there are many possibilities that could happen. in fact, it can have an impact on something beyond his control which is detrimental to him getting deeper into the situation. however, stories like this, are possible for us.

It is really that hard to determine whether these stories are true or not because if we do talk about life savings or the fund he do all have then this is a personal kind of matter on which this is something that cant be known publicly and this is why it wont really be that too easy to tell whether this man had put it all or really just that telling lies or just for the show. Well, whatever the truth is then betting your life savings is really that a suicide. No one on their right minds would really be definitely be betting up all of his life savings but if we do really tend to look around into those people or gamblers who had messed up their lives because of too much gambling spending or involvement then i could really say that there are really people who are really that still believing in unicorns. lol

One all in bet would really be putting up your life miserable and i dont know on where these people minds been thinking that they could be able to pull it through.
Gambling should be just that for fun and not something that you could be able to make your fate rely on.

I see that some of those who look at it from a winning perspective actually become addicts who don't know their limits, because their brains have been washed by the hope of winning and winning, while they never think about the risks of the gambling they do, yes, they don't see what they should be. they see.

just like you, I'm just commenting and giving a little advice here, even if they can't accept it, it's not a problem for me, because we're just sharing a point of view here. They are fully responsible for what they do, I agree with that. The reason is that everything they do is not due to coercion from other people but it comes from within themselves. Likewise with me, whatever I do is my responsibility, I cannot possibly blame other people for what I do, but I always listen to suggestions from other people which I will then consider to determine what is better for me to do.

That's excellent advice, and it's a good reminder that gambling may be extremely addictive and financially disastrous. Even if someone begins with the goal of betting a little sum of money, it is easy to become engrossed in the excitement and wind up betting more than they can afford to lose. In addition to financial hazards, gambling addiction can cause sadness, anxiety, and social isolation.
This is why it's very important to always remember and have it mind always that gambling should be only for fun and recreational purpose and not a way to multiply your fortune or gain more wealth, always having these in mind would help one make the right decisions while gambling.

If it's like a reality show, then we can think of almost every angle that we want to think about it.

But never in my whole life that I am going to bet to something that will change my life forever negatively with my life savings. If it's the opposite then that I'd bet for it if the conditions are favorable to me and if they're going to give me that benefit.

Lucky for the guy that made it and I don't think that there's another story behind the reel but I'd lean on the story about it being a "reality" show.

It seems like the dream was from the demons whisper, LOL
From the OP's discussion above, he once experienced depression due to unacceptable gambling losses so that at the last point he decided to risk everything he had, his emotional condition had pushed him to commit stupid actions because not all gamblers would choose that choice, but he had made a decision. which is wrong and he ignored the risk of more serious psychological effects or ending in suicide like many factual reports about it. However, fortunately he was still lucky and I can't imagine what he would do after he lost that bet.

Yeah, and it's like glorifying this gamblers, as they have been followed, then recorded and show to the world that maybe, just maybe if you bet your life saving, you can be this guy and win and double your money in a casino. But it's very wrong.


We will not do that if we are in the right frame of mind. Yes, most of the time we take big risk, but I don't think that I can take the risk what this man this, his whole life savings. Nah, I will think of my family first before I can do that. And 100% the answer will be is that my family is more important I wouldn't go that far because once the result is not in my favor, not only me, but my wife, kids will also suffer and I don't want that to happen.

It's totally wrong but regardless of that whether it's for the show, there are real life gamblers that can do this easy.

I know right, we won't be betting all of our life savings just for a spin of roulette or even a dice or even with the favorite clubs and teams that we're following in sports.

That's just the craziest thing that I might do but never in my entire life and in second life will do it.

This is absolute madness just by watching videos like this even that it looks very old it still can be quite stressing for me. they remind us how dangerous gambling can be and where situations it can take us. Surely this guy got lucky but he took a huge risk. Gambling is all about luck, especially roulette but even with 50/50 odds you can easily lose. Your story and experience about trying something similar with less money shows the temptation of gambling if you can't manage your habit. But it's important to know your limits and not gamble more than you can afford yo lose.  the addiction is a serious issue and these videos should make us think about our own habits and never try such things if you know he would lose. However we can enjoy thse videos responsibly and avoid making similar decisions we might regret later.

Honestly, I don't really believe what this man is doing, where he has very strong confidence in the bets he places, it's really crazy because how could he possibly do that, risking the contents of his savings for uncertain results. And it could be that to have these savings, the man has to accumulate them over a long period of time, not just one or two days but more than that. But when it comes to gambling and betting, there is always a risk of losing all the money. But who would have thought that a miracle and luck would come to him, so that he could get such a big win. Gambling is full of surprises, but we shouldn't try this, especially if we can't accept the risk of losing. Gambling can indeed offer significant benefits in an instant, but it must be remembered that the risk of experiencing financial losses in gambling is greater than we think.

So it would be better if we only bet on amounts that we are prepared to lose, because otherwise the gambling we do will only end in suffering and deep regret.

Not sure if am to feel sorry for the man or laugh at this!

Something that many of us over look when it comes to playing slots online is playing using demo funds...those demo funds are there for us to test out whatever strategy we come up with and see how well it works, but unfortunately we look at this as a waste of time when in fact we have so many amateur gamblers out there...

If only this man knew that you can't not win slots games with one spin like it's a sports bet...
Fyi all this would have been avoided as chances of winning are below 0.5%. But then again, this loss of funds shows how we humans can be greedy at times and he went for it and the house showed him who is boss to bring him out of fantasy world, but I guess we learn from our mistakes and he will gamble on slots with a different approach.

I saw this on social media recently it has been getting a lot of attention lately. I remember thinking how crazy stupid lucky that guy is. He could have just as easily had lost everything he had saved for his whole life! How fortunate he is to have won, but how foolish it would have been if he had lost. This guy has some serious balls lol

Thought I had seen this one many moons ago. And after checking out the video from the link, indeed I had.
You can tell this was from the early 2000's or even 1990's from the clothes and actually the roulette wheel.
They do not look like that anymore and has more metals such as gold and silver around the middle of the wheel.

Also the guy who won his life savings worth in chips bet on red.
Since the release of a movie from 1992 the famous line by the main character:
"Always bet on black." many people have related to putting it all on this color and letting it land where it may on the roulette table.

That such a line was made by the main character of the movie, does not always guarantee that betting on black will always warrant winning, just as in this case, because if only had the guy in the video had betted on "black" so would he had lost his entire life savings, hence Roulette remains a game where luck plays a major role, and as such, I will like us all to learn a new lesson that though this guy was able to gamble all his life savings and won while staking on "red", it doesn't mean, nor guarantee that if we do the same, we will achieve the same result.

I would say this is a typical example of a crazy gambler and that's why he didn't think twice before staking that kind of funds in gambling. The only reason I would feel this man gamble this without hesitation is maybe because he has done it before or he use to do it on a steady because any average gambler will definitely think twice before gambling or taking this kind of risk. I personally feel that any risk which can render you wrecked is definitely not a risk worth taking.

Reality shows are often a staged show...  but well, it is entertaining to watch if we choose to believe it is real and not a scripted show.


Insane people with balls lol.  They are able to face the pressure and the risk involved.  Sadly it is also one sign of gambling addiction because they want an extreme experience since the normal experience does not excite them anymore.  (The law of diminishing return).

---

This strengthen and support my theory that the video is a staged one.

---

Yeah we can't deny that this kind of insane bet scenario happens in real life, but I am sure the actual footage of the event is not filmed because people tends to be secretive when they are dealing a high risk activity except if the person wants some attention...

Regarding whether the video in the object of discussion is right or wrong, in the end this is an incident that we can learn from and the other thing is that yes, of course, however this is a very careless decision made by a gambler, like you that he did not think twice or did not consider at all before until finally his decision became unanimous to keep betting with all the money saved for his living expenses. On the other hand, your prediction might be right about maybe he has done such actions before, but in my opinion, even if he has but maybe only once or twice he did it before which also managed to get a win so now the man is doing it again.

Because after all the results at the end of the session will not always be what you want, especially this is a type of gambling that is pure luck which means it is not easy to always be in such a lucky situation, so I can't say or predict that he "often" did this kind of rash action before, And I think it's quite simple that we can already conclude that the man is one of those gamblers who has been addicted to the point that he has no qualms at all about doing rash actions that could endanger his life in the long run, but fortunately luck was on his side so he was able to win in the end, and I hope he doesn't do something like this for the umpteenth time, because obviously this could ruin his life.

I think he did this because his mind was already very obsessed with gambling and there was a possibility that he was at the last point of his life, so he dared to take this crazy action by risking all his savings in the hope of turning things around very drastically. In my opinion, this action is indeed a dangerous action, where he dares to risk all his savings on something that is uncertain, because winning at gambling cannot be guaranteed to be obtained according to our own wishes. Losing money in gambling is obvious, with him doing this action I think he is ready to lose all the money he bet on. If he is not prepared for the defeat that will occur, there is a possibility that it will be a pressure for him and can make him stressed.

Gambling is indeed full of unexpected things, such as winning because luck is on your side, but even so, losses will be more frequent, and the percentage of losses is greater than the percentage of wins, so it is not strange if losses occur. but with luck on his side everything can change, he is very lucky if he bets all his savings and gets his luck which gives him a win at the gambling he does. It's true what you say, we hope that we gamble as best we can, don't overdo it because it could also become quite a serious problem later.

He must have been heavily addicted to gambling and he was really mad then. other than a madman, who could take such a big risk. It is funny on one side and tragic on the other.  Anyway that time the man won the bet so he got his life back.  Gambling addiction is so scary it can turn anyone into such a crazy gambler. People who can't control themselves from the beginning act like crazy at one point and don't hesitate to take big risks that they can't afford to lose.

I fear this kind of person not because he made it to win or because of the risk he took, but such person could be very mean, he made such foolish decision that is as that risk enough to ruin all he had labour for in his entire life and never care, he has a strong kind of determination for doing something, however, not to that extent that he will be going for betting with his whole life savings which is the bad idea i see in all that he does, but he was very lucky to have made it to win, but the next time he tries such, that may be the end of his career and future ambitions because he may not get away with such the next time.

Yes I agree with you. How much amount one should invest in gambling and how much loss he can afford is a personal matter but if anyone comes to me for advice I would say that one should not invest too much money in gambling. the person in the story shared by op bet all his savings because he had confidence in himself. But one's confidence never matters in gambling. confidence won't save anyone if luck isn't good. for this, gambling does not have to take such risk

The Real Facts From The Video

Precisely this video show was made in 20004, Digging deeper information about the Video I posted
I found a lot of facts that the person who bet in the video is named Ashley Revell.

This show is indeed a Reality Show or Documentary which is most likely indeed from a true story (players and people around him),
Ashley Revell Gambled and sold all of her $135,300 assets  and bet one spin of the Roulette Wheel at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
With his courage and luck, Revell managed to double his money to $270,600.

Ashley Revell only doubled 2x her bet amount, I don't think this win is too crazy.
There are many who bet thousands of dollars but earn up to millions of dollars, but in 2004 the amount of $270,600 was huge.

It's clear that the documentary also aimed to promote the Plaza Hotel & Casino as gambling was quite successful at that time.
The show was filmed by Sky One as a Mini-series of the documentary Double or Nothing (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7831804/).

You can see Ashley Revell's self-uploaded video on her YouTube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/@ashling71

In 2019, Ashley Revell visited the Plaza Hotel & Casino to reminisce about the gambling that changed her life.
He once founded an online casino called Poker UTD but had to close in 20212 due to an account freeze controversy in the US.
Now he is the Founder of four.me which is a technology Start Up company.

He has been very lucky, but people shouldn't try to imitate him because they can lose everything dy doing that and literally go bankrupt, you should never gamble amounts that you can't afford to lose. Because it could be the beginning of very serious troubles. Some start to borrow money in order to chase their losses which usually lead them to lose even more money.

Im maybe in a rare position on this thread, this was an old program and Im fairly sure I watched it live on TV at the time of broadcast.   Not the entire series I thought it was just a brief premise personally though its a big deal for one person not that complicated overall.  Anyhow it is real, Im 90% certain I recognize the face of this person and  I imagine even the episodes are stored somewhere to purchase if really wanted to verify authenticity.

Alot of gambling is publicity and the show and it was a good show as a one off, quite feasible etc.


Yea not too much to doubt, people win this kind of bet often enough and it was a modest outcome.  Only the fact he bet literally all at once made it big and it was smart in that way to just not over complicate go for a simple chance outcome and even better get something for making a show about it.   I dont think it was fixed in any way, he was going to benefit in some part even if he lost but it would be a real loss and the casino themselves can insure and cover the risk on bets; they too gain from good amount of people looking at their casino and maybe coming to bet themselves.

Bankrupt and could end up on sleeping on the streets and if that emotions and conditions isnt something that you can control then you might really be ended up on having that suicide just because you cant be able to take it anymore. This is why its really that recommended that you should really be spending on the amount on which you can afford to lose. Never ever make yourself that
spending on the amount you have intended for life savings or for your emergency funds. You would be finding yourself get fucked up on the time that you have lost on that
single roll. It just turns out that guy becomes that lucky on that particular point and its true that not all would really be having on the same luck factor or condition on the time
that someone would be making up some bets.

If gambler can think twice or consider every decision he makes then it is impossible for him to make bet like that which clearly carries huge risk with the consequence of losing all the money he has without any remaining.
Gamblers who do things like this are usually because they feel frustrated and really can't think properly so ambition makes them take unexpected actions with the aim of relying on the last bit of luck to win.
But he was really lucky because he won, if luck is not on his side then can be sure there will be feelings of regret and of course he will also make several efforts to recover from his losses, such as borrowing money for gambling capital.
Negative impact that will be experienced by gamblers who have this kind of attitude is very big and it is highly recommended that anyone not try to do it.

Risk is always present and can cause gamblers to lose what they bet on and in gambling it is certain that every bet will always be accompanied by the risk of losing or losing, but we must be able to minimize it and take care of ourselves.

That's the moral of this story, just because they can do it doesn't mean that you can, we all got different strokes of luck in us and this man just so happens is the kind of person that's got the God's favor and his gamble paid off. It's also not recommended to do this no matter how lucky you're feeling right now because when the results finally show, that's what matters the most and at the end of the day, you're going to be the one regretting that decision.

It's kind of awesome and crazy how he's able to pull of this kind of stupidity because when you look at it, it's risky to the highest degree since he's betting his life savings in one spin, my guess is that this guy has something hideous planned after that roulette in the case that he loses, that's the action that's most notable when it comes to people that have nothing to lose anymore. Maybe in a way, betting his life savings did made him a man with nothing to lose.

A very desperate decision, he simply could be left without his savings, and there’s almost 50/50, not counting the probability of zero, but it’s too risky, because it’s just one bet and he could lose everything he’s earned in his entire life (unless of course it’s true). I doubt that there are many people who, in a healthy sense, are ready for such an act, just one bet could deprive him of everything, this is not a reasonable decision.

I totally agree. The risks in this game are just too high, and it is not worthwhile to lose everything on a single bet, no matter how much money is involved. This is an example of "loss aversion" - the inclination to avoid losses more strongly than to pursue profits. In this scenario, the possibility for loss outweighs the potential for gain, hence the risk is not worth taking. Before making a decision, it is critical to think rationally and thoroughly assess the prospective costs and rewards.

Honestly, what worries me is that I can't imagine what the situation will be like if in the end he loses, because obviously with this very dangerous decision of course I can conclude that his intention and goal is to get a big win so that he is willing to risk his entire life savings just for one round of luck that really can't know the final result, and I don't see that there is absolutely no intention of gambling for entertainment because obviously you can tell from how he treats his gambling activities that endanger himself just to get a big win which is actually always about uncertainty.

After all gambling is an activity that always involves risk while on the other hand winning is always unpredictable, and therefore obviously the first thing that should be prioritized is risk management, as you said that the possibility of losing is much greater than the chance of winning and it is real because overall winning is actually only for the house, therefore it is always recommended to apply a lot of caution and also vigilance along with always maintaining awareness and rational thinking so that we can be responsible gamblers and not rash in making decisions.

I just don't think it's genuine and he really did put big money on one spin, is it part of the casino's marketing or something, actually I don't really believe there is a fool who would take a big risk with all his money for one spin, I as a gambler wouldn't do something as stupid as that but maybe if he was financed by a casino, I wouldn't be surprised or surprised because sometimes offline or online casino marketing is equally important to promote to attract attention. I also found this video everywhere and have not seen its authenticity.

Not sure if he used all his money and he did it because he was self-conscious, I'm not completely sure that it was his money but the bookie's money who asked him to play and was shown in a video by making the title as if there was a gambler who was desperate to risk all his money with just one spin in the roulette game, even though I know that roulette games in offline casinos may be far from cheating but there are also roulette machines that can be manipulated, if only it was a genuine and real video, I think the dealer would probably make him lose. game and in that one round. This video is original or not, it doesn't really matter. The most important thing is that people who watch it should never try to do something crazy just because they want to win big, it's something that is impossible to do.  ;D

It's not a decision that makes sense to a normal person, it's a decision that only a person who is crazy enough to gamble can make, taking one round and risking his life savings, whether he thinks he's going to make it or not on that one round, I don't know.

And yes luck is on his side but that doesn't mean we should follow his path, because it's true that people's luck is different, we don't force ourselves to do it, because it's a stupid decision, you can ruin your life quickly. and yes it's a very impulsive action in gambling, it's not a good thing even if he's lucky in his gambling, but there will be a lot of people who don't digest the meaning of the incident because they are more interested in the benefits they get.

First of all I don't believe in this kind of viral video. Because I think many times these viral videos are done for the promotion of casino or gambling. So I have many doubts about these viral videos. Moreover, many times we see many celebrities gambling and sharing winning information on their social platforms. I think they are also hired for casino site promotion and then do this. And these are only the news of winning. But if the viral video you mentioned about a man gambling his entire life savings on a spin is true then I would say that public is dangerous crazy person better to stay away from these publics. I'm really worried about how the families of these crazy percentages handle them. He should make an appointment with a psychologist immediately.

Again, there's nothing you have to believe guys, I don't require you to believe those viral videos.
If you are careful enough, you can assess what you can learn from the viral video, not just about the content or the real setting, but the value contained in it.

This will remind one to be more careful and don't risk all your money for just one bet.
A man may get lucky with such bets, but more people are unlucky and have to lose a lot of money in gambling.

I'm just trying to give you the facts about what I found on the video and who the guy was at the casino.
Believe it or not it is the judgment of each person, nothing is forced.

Well, that is another option that should not be ruled out, we do not know if they do this with the intention of seeing that someone wants to become famous by telling a Story and that story makes them see that they want to be a recognized person, sometimes people in the world They are like that, but still, as you say, it is very sad that a person has collected so much money and Risked it like that, I really don't see the point, it is good that he takes some of the money and starts playing in a casino but is everything money? That is something that turns out to be fantastic, I think that a person like that being drunk would not do it, of course this is something that will always depend on the type of mentality of a person, I know that in the world there are people who do not give importance to almost nothing and they have this type of thinking, but in reality I think that many of us would not risk a large capital in the casino , it would be a very crazy and irresponsible thing.

   Good reply mate, in the area I come from we don't take everything as common things because we believed that everything has an important lesson to teach others.
   In the case of this OP I think it's another good message that it passes fo other people who believe it's not good to gamble a whole life savings on bets.
   It might be fun while staking with your whole life savings but believe me when I say it would no longer be funny when you loose your whole savings on bets.
   This OP is a good lesson to everyone that's about to do the same thing as the real person on this discussion. Gamble is not a side hustle to anyone, every odd is always not for the gamblers, all the odds are always against everyone that's betting on it.
   You can be luck for 1 day but that winning will not stay long because you will definitely gamble with it some other days only when you did not use your winning to strike for something different from betting.

Often time many people take such risk on betting 100% of their overall holding on a bet, without even looking back to check the risk of they failed to win the bet on the long run, this approach have hard alot of negative impact on so many gamblers because most of those who have sever case of addictions, bankruptcy issues and the rest of all the high debt profiles are all victims of such decisions to go all in on a bet with their entire savings.


It is better to only use an amount that you can afford to lose if the bet goes against you as a gambler, in that way, at least you will be able to manage yourself through the whole thing

I don't know what his life savings was, so maybe he had only $100k in there, or whatever, but I bet he could afford to lose it. I just don't see how he'd land in a cardboard box after losing the money.
It's probably that he still has a job, a home, and losing this would only mean he won't get a better home, or a better car in the next few years.

Still, incredible balls on this guy. I would be to scared to do it.

Exactly! My opinion is similar or almost the same, this guy could afford to risk this amount for many reasons... no one depends on him (he is without family), and can earn this amount in some short period. Anyway, he has big balls... not many people would dare to place this kind of bet on a totally "lucky-based game".

People shouldn't get carried away with this video. People win & lose in roulette, this guy was very lucky, but this doesn't mean that everyone who follows will have the same luck. People should always remember to gamble responsibly and never invest more than they can afford to lose.

Lucky guy and this is not happening at all instance. I will not do this and it's crazy if that guy has a family and did that, I don't know how his family will react after losing that spin.

I've worked hard to have that savings and will be gone in less than a minute, that's going to be the craziest thing that someone can do and that's to bet his lifesavings.

Yeah, I can say that he's on the tier 2-3 after Drake and Bruno Mars.  :D

really lucky because it's so rare that really happens, it's like once in a blue moon only happens, imagine? You're going to bet all your money without thinking about whether or not you're going to win. That dude was very optimistic about winning that's why he manifested it, but yeah, it's kinda scary to do that and I wouldn't do that if I am in his situation because what I have is just a savings for my future, I don't have any intention to put it all in gambling in just one single bet,

Having control over yourself has a lot of impact. the lure of high money makes people panic a lot and at that time they place big bets.  Because if they can win their bet then they will get double their bet amount and hundreds of times more return. they only think about the benefit of win but they don't know that they will lose their wealth if they lose. this is how gamblers fall in love with money and lead to the chaos of life if there luck not worked

It would really be just that a matter of a certain individual whether they would really be that responsible or irresponsible into the actions that they are making. It is really just that a matter whether
they would really be putting up all of their life savings on a single bet or he would really be making some bets but only a partial of their overall richness but if you are really that
making that all in kind of betting then you are just basically putting up yourself on such big issue and this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place.
1 spin roulette could end up whether a win or lose, if you can afford to put up all of your money in a single spin then its your choice but be sure to picture out on what would really happen
into your life once you do really end up on that kind of approach or decisions which we know that it is really that very too risky to do so.

Gambling is gambling and you could really be able to lose up everything and its impossible that you cant really be able to determine about those risks. You are a human being
and you do have that self awareness and common sense on what are those possible projections on things if you do made out the wrong decision.

It's true that this is an individual problem, if they are completely sure about risking all their money on gambling, maybe they are already at the phase where that is their biggest choice, this could be because they often lose with the gambling they do, or they are annoyed because they can't win. during their gambling until they dare to take very risky actions such as risking all the savings they have.

I don't care what people outside do, if they risk all their money for one gambling then that's fine because this is their individual right. It's just that I hope that people who dare to carry out actions like this must be able to take full responsibility for the choices and actions they take, because if they don't do that then there is a big possibility that their lives will be destroyed, what you say is true if they do something like this. , that just proves that they are just putting themselves in trouble. but my advice is don't do this crazy thing, because this can really destroy our lives with the definite reality of the defeat that will occur.

Not only their lives will be destroyed but people that are close to them particularly their family. If this man is a father and a husband and he losses his life savings, that would affect the future of the kids that are just relying on him to fund their educational fund or whatever they call it. Thing is, as a man, we have bigger responsibilities, so we can't be too reckless to go all in even if the chances are 50-50 as winning is never guaranteed.

There are people who succeed in gambling but they don't rely in luck they believe their chances of winning is higher and they like to do it slowly but consistently, not this one which is one time.

He's optimistic and just believed in himself. We're in no way going to do that if some people tries to attempt that in doing it.

We're not the type of gambler that will risk it all just to get something like this and become a content to the others. Oh, content, can be done by some others if they like to get some instant fame nowadays.

You just have to make some good story, short background revealing of what kind of gambler you are and then boom, you'll get to win a once in a life time type of bet like this story.

Being optimistic and having that extreme confidence would not always be ended up on positive or something that would really be ideal considering that we are dealing with gambling space on which you would really be needing to be careful on whatever situations or decisions that you would be making specially like this one, who would really be on their right minds on betting your entire life savings on a single roulette roll?
Even myself cant really be able to fathom on why someone do really have that kind of confidence on which they have decided on doing so. It turned out that he's lucky on that roll and wasnt totally make his life
to be miserable specially if that one missed out.

One of the main rules on doing gambling is to make use of the amount that you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself comes into a point that you are already that betting with your life savings
because this is where shit things happen when you do make those shit decisions. Its impossible that you couldnt really be able to distinguish on whats a good or bad thing.
You could already project out on whats are those possible consequences once you have lost that bet.

That's clear, friends, if someone who is addicted is a father or head of the family then what will definitely happen is the destruction of his life, including his family relationships. Now with someone who is addicted, who is not a father or is not married, there is a possibility that their future could be ruined, that is with those who are not fathers who do not have more responsibilities. because in my opinion the temptation of gambling is so strong that it can make someone change drastically. We must be able to limit the gambling we do, to get big wins at gambling, in my opinion you don't have to risk all the money you have, especially risking your savings is a very wrong action.

I agree with you, indeed we as men have more responsibilities, therefore we must be able to pay close attention to finances, because when we are married the responsibilities will be even greater. and in my opinion the chance of winning at gambling is only a certain percentage, in contrast to the chance of losing which has a larger percentage.

We all know that it's not going to happen at most of the gamblers whether you have confidence and money in your savings to bet.

This is a rare situation that the guy was just found luck with what he did and it's documented. As part of the reminder that we used to tell to everybody about gambling with what we can afford to lose.

We're aware of that but despite that awareness that we've got, there are still a lot of gamblers fall with their own misery and wrong calls of decisions as they gamble.

Gamblers are always ready to take the risks, they don't relent but bring on the gigantic winnings because they're always ontop and hitting targets. A man betting his life savings on gambling spells out a bad omen and he will live to regret his actions only when his bets didn't trigger winnings. Losing is never the interest of most of these gamblers, we will continue to forward our efforts to have brighter future in the space. Gambling is not for those that are relenting, rather its for the desperate gamblers that are evolving round the system. We gamble because we're in need of finances.

Yes but what is wrong is those who are too ready in terms of taking risks which means that it is an action that will trigger bad possibilities, as you said that everyone especially gamblers do not like the name of losing money especially with large amounts, therefore over-treating gambling like the one mentioned by the OP by risking all his life savings in just one round is a stupid act and decision where he is like risking his life on uncertainty which in the end will trigger a lot of problems and regrets.

On the other hand it is a wrong mindset if you expect a bright future in gambling, because it is like you are chasing your own shadow, because indeed gambling is not a place to earn but nothing more than an activity to fill your spare time and also gambling is not for those who are stronger but only for those who are able to keep everything well such as applying many restrictions and also have the ability in terms of controlling everything well and not for those who never give up.

Actually, you have a point, but most people gamble without thinking about the negative side of it that might affect their actions. Even though, to be a gambler, you must be strong and have the mind to endure. Even though you lose, you are good to go. But, just as you said, he will definitely regret his actions in the future, because it is not a small deal to drop all your life savings for gambling.
 
The most amazing thing that I like about any gambler is that they always have hope and are always ready. They possess a never-give-up mind that makes them stronger even though they lose, they usually still have that hope that they will soon win if they continue playing. But that is what they find hard to understand sometimes, although most of the time they do win, but the majority loses. Although you won’t expect everyone to be the same, many people engage in gambling due to some life experience, so we can’t conclude. 

First of all, I'll suppose that this video isn't fake or staged. Secondly, I wouldn't call him optimistic, but reckless. Who in the right mind bets all his life savings on a single bet? If that isn't stupid, then I don't know what is. Just because it went along doesn't mean it's an example to mimic. Would you do it? Probably no, me neither, but that doesn't mean that it's because we don't have the guts to do so, but because we still have a mind inside our heads.

Anyway, I'm glad that it actually worked out. I can't imagine his reaction if it hadn't; he certainly wouldn't have taken it well, something that he should have considered a possibility in the first place as well.

Gambling is as old as human history. Primitive people gambled in caves with dice made from bones. I think gambling will always exist. Throughout history, people have taken risks by gambling with the assets they can afford to lose. But the example in this thread is far too risky even for gambling. I never want to have that kind of mentality. I see gambling as a means of entertainment. It is enough for me to bet on a few matches to make the weekend a little more fun. It is enough for me to watch the matches I bet on in a pub with my friends.

This is just the truth; we really can't tell how legit the information is, and how can we be sure that the money the man used was all his life savings, or was it just a staged video to make it go viral, or probably the game really does happen like that, but the person in question is very rich and considers that amount small enough to be risked? 
 
Whichever one it is, we all agree that what he did was a reckless decision, and it's not every type of winning that is supposed to be celebrated online; some promote reckless decision-taking indirectly because those who watch it without having self-control can use that as self-motivation to try their luck and see if luck can be on their side. Gambling can be a very funny thing that hits gamblers with different types of surprises.

We're ready to take the risk but not as risky as what this guy did or whoever the other gamblers that have taken the risk of gambling with all of their life savings. Yes, I am a gambler but I'll never do such even if there's a dare to me.

Well, there really are people that can do crazy thing that no normal person will do but I agree that he's reckless. We can just be happy for him but in no way that either of us will do the same stuff that he did.

Just never.  ;D

I often to see this on youtube video. Indeed, sometimes things like this are quite brave, but when you are sure you will win it all, there's no harm in trying. because there is only one life and chance. You have to try this only chance, and I am really sure he will regret it when didn't try it. and I'm sure he probably has good instincts about that. There was no way he would dare risk all his savings on that just like that, It seemed like he heard a whisper from his conscience that he would definitely win.

That's a crazy decision to use all your savings in gambling especially in Roulette since it's a luck based games. But this guy has a guts to bet all his savings, a total gambler indeed.

Fortunately he managed to do so. Because if the outcome is the worst he will probably regret his decision to bet all his money. In this case, it's worth it. But then, it's not a good attitude of a gambler because the rule is to only use what you can afford to lose, that being said it's better to gamble using a spare money and not your entire savings.

If you're sure that you're going to win it all and that there's no other way that you can lose that spin, throw, or deal then you'd be in the best position to just do it anyway and gamble all that money away because you're going to get all your money back. I do think so too that he's got the instinct to bet that much money without the regard for what could happen when things don't go in your favor, I now wonder what could've happened to him if the opposite happened, this man's going to be homeless for sure or maybe do something really scary. I'm also worried with the fact that this is spreading on social media, who knows what kind of people are going to see this and see it as an inspiration to gamble their life savings away too, I can only imagine.

We can be sure but the problem is we don't knows when we can win in gambling. We can just playing gambling like usual and lets the outcomes comes, whether it's win or lose. We can't force ourselves to continue playing gambling, especially if we lose some money before because if we continue playing gambling, that can caused us to gets more losses. We must knows when we must stop playing gambling and knows how much money that we can used to playing gambling. It's not a good idea to used all of our saving funds to placing a bet, especially if we still don't knows when we can win. They can still trying to playing gambling but with limited money so they can prevents the big lose and will not regret because of they losses before.

Yes it was a roulette game but he wasn't betting on numbers, he was just risking on the black or red which gives him 50% chance of winning. He was just lucky that's why he won, but the most interesting part here is he bet his life savings for 50/50 chances, it's crazy but not too crazy at all.



For sure, the words itself which is a "life savings", it's like you are betting your life on that game... your opportunity to enjoy that money in the future for the chance to double it... It's desperate way of betting so it's not advisable, but this guy succeeded, so he gone viral but it's still not something good to follow.

These type of stuff are great when it turns out to be a win and I do hope that he spent it wisely, a good chunk of it could go towards buying a house, or putting a down payment on a house and then he could just collect rent all his life, that's actually a good idea and could make you a lot of money.

I personally believe that the best thing to do would be just focusing on how you could make a good investment on that too. If he realizes that he could double and keep trying this, like make a gimmick out of it to make more money, then he will lose it eventually. He probably knows this, but people who see him win may not know it and may want to try the same and they may end up losing all of their money, that is why it is not a good move at all.

Persons that take such all or nothing decisions will not pick such rational actions, and what better example of this than what we see with new investors putting all their money in a single meme coin, as even if those people were to succeed, instead of thanking their lucky star for getting those amazing results, they believe they have discovered a strategy which can be applied all the time, so they do the same move expecting for the same results and when it does not happen they are confused about why this is the case, and before they overcome that confusion they lose all of those profits they obtained previously.

Gamblers who gamble because they think they need money will have a higher risk of losing. The risk of losing is always high in gambling but no one can guarantee a win here after saving life it can destroy life. As a result of this addiction, any other mental illness or suicide tendency also increases rather than feeling regret later, think about the loss and stay away. It is a compulsive behavior where you constantly seek out and engage in gambling despite negative consequences. These can be financial emotional or even physical.

I agree with most gamblers here; yeah that is pure stupidity, how can someone risk all their life savings on gambling that too in a single bet? What if he had lost the bet? Regretting or having remorse wouldn't change anything after it's done. He most probably did it out of greed because someone cannot do something like that for fun unless they are not sane or have lost the ability to think critically and make the right decisions about their life.

I wouldn't even gamble with my life savings if there is a more than 90% chance of me winning the bet because that is still too much risk to take. You can't be able to save that much money again because you have lived through so many years and gathered that sum with so much hard work, you can't risk it on something that is completely based on luck, what if you are unlucky at that moment?

Ironically its smartest kind of betting really, he got fairly even odds it wasnt perfect but the gamble was clear in both its risk and positive and negative outcomes.  He made a plan, he had his budget decided beforehand and he got maximum publicity and probably some kind of wage for making it into a TV show.   I wish I was this smart on every bet really, most of us are casual and dont plan anything much beforehand.  

100 seperate bets dont make it superior to this one large bet just adds up to the same thing in the end.  He bet alot to win alot and was just doing it all at once which is time efficient at least.

Its impossible that someone would really be giving out that all in one bet and putting up all his life savings on confident manner? For sure no one would really be on their right minds would really be doing so on which it would really be just that there are really those individuals who are really that already made up that kind of allocation on that particular bet. Time efficient wise then
i could say that this is really that something better rather than on dividing it on small bets but if you are someone whose really that liking on utilizing the amount to have a prolong
session then this is something recommended method but if you are really just that fine with one single bet win or lose then this one would really be something that good or better.
