would you have the courage to do this?

[angaper]

I think it is not about courage my friend. This is a very senseless impulse, perhaps boosted by a total lack of common sense and control of emotions, otherwise it is totally incomprehensible such attitude.

So sick - in a crazy way. I wonder how much he is worth today after having used his winnings to start an online poker site which eventually went out of business. Imagine if he had waited a few years and invested in bitcoin when it was less than $1. He'd be a mega millionaire. Oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda.

[tn211]

even if i am on very strong drugs i will never do that ... this is all about luck wow ...and if he lose he lose everything ... but congrats to this lucky guy

I think the most people will not do this, its just to big and I even think no one will come up on a day to do this, you are just crazy if you have such idea's.
I would never do this there are to many risks and you whole life is depending on luck, I mostly I have bad luck if I'm honest.

[mixan]

you have to be so stupid to do this.
i don't care what the outcome of his bet was, it is not wise to do such a thing. the risk is too high and in case of losing you will lose everything, become homeless.

my legs are trembling just thinking about doing this.

from the article:

"All the interviews and documentaries that surrounded his bet guaranteed he earned good money – he would have won big even if he lost!  A smart publicity stunt?  Or a crazy and irresponsible Roulette story?"  

How would have he won anything even if he lost? That is just a stupid move. Gambling makes these kind of people famous for being stupid.

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

Yes lol, I agree you have to be really stupid to do this.
50% to double your money or 50% to lose it all.

I wouldn't have the courage at such a bet it is reckless.
It dumb to bet all the money you have on 1 thing as well.
Because if you lose u don't have anything.

Ashley Revell, 32, had sold everything he had – his house, his car and even his clothes.  He placed all the money on Red at a Roulette table in the Plaza Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, aaaaand..........

Man that is just crazy. I can't say it's courage, because it's way to crazy and irresponsible I guess. Gambling is perfectly fine, using the normal concept of having a bankroll that you can afford to lose, but how can you afford to lose your entire life savings?

What the.. can't do this even I know to myself that I do have gambling addiction but I don't have the nerve to sell everything and gambled it with a chances of losing everything. sick person.

[gentlemand]

Risking your entire net worth and only doubling it? Absolutely no way. That's a pathetic prospect. I'd risk 5-10% for the prospect of a 20x or more gain.

[Zeke2345]

Before I clicked on this it made me think of the off duty cop that shot himself after losing it all. Heartless pricks had the section back open within 30 minutes.
This smells more like a ploy by the casinos. Video cameras rolling smells fishy.

[tommorisonwebdesign]

This video is an example of how crazy gambling can become. His odds were stacked against. He would have absolutey nothing and he would be sleeping on the streets. I would never make a bet like this, no matter how good the odds are in your favor.

[TippingPoint]

I laughed when the pit boss said "Ashley.  I want you to take a moment and get yourself composed, and then we'll go over the rules of the game.  Are you sure you wanna make this bet of your life savings here?  I want you to know, we would never knowingly condone or accept someone making a wager of their entire life savings, but we know this is a culmination of a grand adventure for you, and hopefully the start of many more and more interesting pages."

[Avirunes]

It was really a bad and wierd decision to do that.Betting selling everything you have ? What kind of gambler was he?.Maybe he won a whoppin bumper around but uf we get the things turn around for a second and think if he would have lost that one ,then?Ofcourse his situtaion would be worse then a beggar .He would be regretting  his whole life that he became a beggar having everything to get a normal life

[bering]

i would not make stupid decision just like him but looks like this drama has been happy ending and last part on this video is he back to england with $272.000 i knew that a big winning but does not make me tempted to sell everything for do a gambling

[Patatas]

Ashley is just one of the cases which is popular and viral.There are lot of Ashley's and Bill Gates in the world of gambling who are still unappreciated (I suppose).Ashley made the most stupidest decision of his life.Ahsley is bad at managing money and probably a terrible gambler.Don't be like Ashley.

[Sweeet123]

 This dude is crazy no way I would ever do this what would he have done if he lost. A crazy man indeed.

[pooya87]

that is the worst things i have ever heard or seen.
i am all for taking big risks in life but there is a very big difference between a calculated risk and a dumb risk. gambling is the later. when there is a high chance of losing your whole life i say that is a dumb move.

everybody is always saying bet what you can afford to lose.

[maku]

Seeing how this was documented, recorded, a lot of people gathered and cheering, manager of the Casino present etc. I think this was some organized action and publicity stunt.
If he really sold everything he owned in life and left with only clothes on his back after losing I doubt he would even consider betting.

This is a stunt of course, a real stunt indeed however even if he sold everything he would not be as poor as homeless because this public stunt will make him shine and there will be alot of interviews coming from the media , invitation as a guest in the talkshow and all of this would get him some good amount

[lemipawa]

This looks like more of a PR stunt than a documentary but I don't see a name of casino or hotel. PR or not I will not do this even if I know I have something coming every month like a pension. But the experience of doing this kind of a gamble is priceless.
