Ashley Revell of London had a mad itch he needed to scratch.
The year was 2004. The initial tickle came from a casual drinking conversation with a friend. Revell couldn’t let it go.
The idea, in short, required Revell to liquidate all his possessions, travel to Las Vegas, and ‘bet it all’ on one spin of the roulette wheel. The idea was sheer lunacy. Yet Revell was just crazy enough to go through with it.
Revell sold off all his possessions over a six month period and traveled to the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Then, one Sunday morning in April 2004, with his mom and dad standing behind him, along with a film crew, Revell placed $135,300 on red.
