If you think about it, he would have actually made more money dividing up the money and putting 7k-8k on each individual red number instead of just red altogether. Not a whole lot more, but maybe an extra 5k-10k. If youre going to risk it all, why not milk it for the most you can get.
I watched this show years ago. They actually went around the casinos to try and get one to take such a large bet and remove the green 0 so it was a 50/50 split.
thats really odd that a casino would take that, the only way i could see that happening is if they got their name slapped around on the video a bunch for advertising.. because if there are just red/black its literally just 50/50 no advantage at all to the house, the 0 and 00 are what give the casino their mathematical edge
It was on TV about 3 years ago. The guy made his living from playing online poker, & had thousands in cash in his house. The show followed him selling his house, his BMW etc etc. They then went to vegas to find a casino that would take such a large bet on 1 spin at roulette. The negotiations went on for them to remove green to make it 50/50.
There was no green, it was a straight red/black, it's just that simple, I promise you.
For anyone who is thinking that they shouldn't have to find a casino to take a $135000 bet, remember that he wasn't a whale & wouldn't be continue playing if he won, which would put the odds in favour of the casino getting their money back.
Last year my woman and I went out for a meal, and went to buy some cigs afterwards. We both bought a Halloween-themed scratchcard each. I won £5 and thought I was the shit. She got 3 of a kind (black cats I think)...but we just threw it in the trash, because we both thought it had to be 3 IN A ROW (it didn't).
We were a little drunk...but still...her scratchcard win was £666 (about $1000 (the second-highest prize for that particular game)).
Needless to say we both come close to tears whenever we think about that night...and want to hit eachother too.
:(
yeah but those guys have millions to throw around. this was everything the guy had, its the story behind it. if a billionaire came along and bet everything they had, it would be just as awesome.
Actually, I may have to up that number. I wasn't including the CDs and DVDs, or the books. Fuck, the testbooks alone could probably net me another $2000.
Comments to Betting your life on one roulette spin
fuck that, the ending sucks
No fucking shit. I don't watch the videos on this site to see other peoples happiness & success.
it would have been better if when he bet he said all in lol
I would lose everything in that case, then after ten years I would do it again, lose again stab myself with a spoon till i die
Why don't you fast forward 10 yrs and do that now.
aint got no spoons
Redum.. I was like... "damn... good one' and then Phelsu came back and I was again like 'damn good one!'
Redcum would be happy to spoon you Phelsu.
This ain't no Matrix son, just find one!
LET IT RIDE!!!!
but srsly that was fucking gay
i wish he lost it all...then it would have been worth watching
Would have got a good laugh out of it if he lost it all.
When I heard bet it all at roulette I thought he bet on a number...
Wussing out and taking a color... lame.

He should bet half on black and half on red...It's a sure thing!
have you ever even played roulette? there's green too, noob.
math and irony fail.
anotherday, you sir, sure suck.
DRINK BEER YOU PUSSY

Looked like the green 0 and green 00 were both on the wheel to me.
Oh my god, your deductive skills aren't up to much, are they SNIKT?

what kind of degenerate would do that :(
A casino knowingly taking a bet from someone risking everything he has is as immoral as he was retarded.
*autistic

"developmentally delayed" is the preferred PC term these days.
Fuck it, he's retarded.
Actually yak I believe the house has an advantage without any green slots.
There are 36 numbers (1-36) and standard payout is 35:1 on a winning bet.
That is still a house advantage.
I love the guy in the blue shirt smoking his big pipe in the background. This must have been right before the indoor smoking ban.
It was back in 06 if I remember correctly. Give or take 1 year.
I was in Vegas last year and everyone was still smoking in the casinos. I don't think it applies there.
He sold everything he owned and only got 136000? WHy is everyone so excited. I am sure Vegas sees bigger hands played in the bathroom.

haha his name is ashley
so much greed in air that you almost can smell it via a computer, this people is going straight to hell
Sweet, I just won 6$ on lotto tickets.
If I sold everything I owned, I'd have... A little over $20,000, I think. Including my car.
So, you're trying to say your car is worth $19,900?
Coz your freckly blubber butt ain't fetching more than a Benjamin on the open-market, Carrot Top.
UW was paying $50,000 for left testicles a few years ago.
why not right ones??
