    Man sells everything puts it all on one spin in roulette
    They say he sold everything he had and put it on one color.





    They say he used all his winnings to open a online poker site.

    I bet they would have sh*t if he doubled down a couple times.

        Seen this quite a while ago. I give this guy credit he's got some balls to put his life on the line with less than 49% chance of winning.

        Many others have committed suicide after they have failed trying to do this. Not easy winning gambling hence why 99.999999% work normal jobs.

              Yeah, I don't think 136K hurt them to much.

                He actually stayed pretty calm considering what was on the line.

                          LOL, I don't this is real. If it was a reputable news agency would have followed this story. Heck they followed the girl selling her virginity. This would have to be more exciting than that............if it were real.

                                    They did this on an episode of Las Vegas years ago. The guy lost it all, but in the end James Caan paid him back.

                                        This looks like a b.s promo for his poker site.

                                            It was a risky publicity stunt and stupid if he thought doubling his money could fund his poker site.

                                                this story misses some important details... for example, if his parents are rich, he may have been gambling with 1/10 or even less of family possessions.

                                                      I literally started having heart palpitations after watching this video. The anxiety i felt was almost as if it was my bet, thats sickening. I would have probably committed suicide if I did that and lost. Surprised his family and friends were there. My dad would die of a heart attack from me telling him that was my plan.

                                                          I Surprised his family and friends were there. My dad would die of a heart attack from me telling him that was my plan.
                                                          yes! the fact they were there and not too nervous shows it was probably not a life-changing risk for the family, but rather a publicity stunt. worked very well, kudos to them.

                                                                Wow, that was nuts... why roulette though with a 5+% house edge? I think I would have played a hand of baccarat or placing the 6/8 on craps or something with a smaller house edge.
