A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette

[RockBell]

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.

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.

[uneng]

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!

[wheelz1200]

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.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

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?

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.

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.

[Wiwo]

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.

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 greedily and not think of the consequences if it goes the opposite.

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.

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.


https://twitter.com/InternetH0F/status/1767704657055375493

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

It's about 50/50 odds, and he's in luck.

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.

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.

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.

[passwordnow]

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).

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.

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.

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.
