In possibly the most famous bet of recent years, a 32-year-old Ashley Revell from Kent sold all of his worldly possessions to bet everything he owned on the roulette table in Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2004, he won $270,600 at the Plaza Hotel &amp; Casino in a double-or-nothing bet at the roulette wheel. Revell chose to bet on red with a less than a 50\/50 chance of doubling his life savings of $135,300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a whole film crew there to film his wager. At first, the bet was supposed to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel, but they wouldn\u2019t accept the wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zGCdBsOIKYA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Plaza was up for the fun though! As the roulette wheel spun the anticipation grew before finally landing on Red 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ashley Revell sold all of his possessions in order to make up the $135,300 he bet at The Plaza. After winning the $270,600, Revell decided to start a poker website, Poker UTD, and he also entered the online gambling market with an iGaming recruitment website. Revell decided to take a trip to Holland shortly after the bet in Las Vegas where he met his wife. They now have two kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There hasn\u2019t been a bet quite as unique as Revell\u2019s since then. It even spawned a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2011\/may\/03\/simon-cowell-gameshow-red-or-black\"> reality television show called &#8220;Red or Black&#8221; created by Simon Cowell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wanting to test your luck like Revell did, you can come down to the Plaza Hotel &amp; Casino and play one of the many tables or slots with the hopes of winning big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ashley Revell: &#8216;That spin was the most amazing moment of my life.
