Well some of you may have seen or heard about this guy.
Basically for those who havent he sold his entire lifes worth to make a double or nothing bet on the spin of a routlette wheel in Vegas.
The size of his bet was $130,000 which meant no casino wanted a piece of it. At the last minute one casino jumped in realising the publicity they would get.
This guy bet Red, and in the end the ball landed red.
perhaps the dumbest guy alive for making this bet, but also the luckiest alive. Total winnings $230,000's
So anyone else wanna try??? ;D

i just still cant believe the did this. He sold litterally everything he owned, from collectable items to the clothes in his wardrobe. Something tells me though the show itself will be paying him a fair amount had he won or lost, certainly enough to get him back on his feet.

Him!

Moron, or genious?

Nah, he's a moron.

I wouldn't have done it.  That's for sure.  Too much of a risk.

But I suppose risks are what make life life. :)

What a fool! Some people are just so idiotic. What about if he had lost it all? What would he then do? Wretched Casinos, they should be banned!

well like i said, i am sure the show would have paid him anyway so something to get back on his feet.
Basically this guy is single, no kids no girlfriend, he said if he had either then he wouldnt have done this, but because it was just himself to support then he said what the hell ::) While like the rest of you i wouldnt have taken this bet, in the end its his money and as stupid as it may be, he can do what he likes with it

You may call him stupid and all that, but in the end, he gambled his money, and won. :P
