A British man who sold all his possessions, including his clothes, stood in a rented tuxedo on Sunday surrounded by family and friends and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel. Guess they did not understand what the buoys were for.utube sailing experts. I watched a video on utube where the expert was mixing silicone and mineral spirits to make a solution to coat a tarp.he weighed the mineral spirits and silicone to get the right 6-1 mix.only that not how you get a correct volume mix.and the silicone tube he was getting the silicone from clearly said indoor.

(CNN) -- Ashley Revell, a 32-year-old man from London, England, sold everything he owned, even his clothes, to try his luck Sunday on one spin of a roulette wheel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He put $135,300 on red, and with friends and family watching, the ball hit the mark, giving Revell $270,600. The event was filmed by Britain's Sky One television as a short reality series called 'Double or Nothing.' (Full story)

CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Revell what was going through his mind when the wheel was spinning.

REVELL: It was just ... pleading that I'd pick[ed] it and that it would come in red. Before I actually walked up to the wheel, I was thinking about putting it on black, and then suddenly the guy was spinning the ball around and all the Sky viewers said ... they [had] voted that I should put it on red. So suddenly I just put it all on red.

But ... I was just pleading that it would come in and I'd get lucky this time. What I was really worried about was that I'd lose and my parents would be upset and my family would, you know, all my friends would be upset. So ... I was obviously just so happy when it came in.

COOPER: So you were going to put it on black, but people back in England were voting, and they said you should put it on red? You decided to do that?

REVELL: Yeah, that's right. I mean, with all those people sort of hoping that it would be red, I thought I've got to go red, so that's what I did.

COOPER: Your father was opposed to this whole concept all along. This is what he had to say. He was quoted in an interview as saying: 'I told him he was a naughty boy, he was a bad boy, he shouldn't do it. He should work like all other kids do.' How does he feel now? I mean, has he changed his mind?

REVELL: Yeah, I think so. I mean, I obviously went and shook his hand before I did it, and after he was just hugging me and jumping up and down. So, you know, I think most all dads are just concerned, and he's seeing all my friends being married off and having kids and stuff, and he's like any father, he just wants me to settle down and make sure I'm secure.

COOPER: Now, why did you do this? I mean, is it true that you sold all your possessions, even underwear, everything you had, and then put all the money on this? Why? Was it all just to be on TV?

REVELL: ... Looking back on it now, I mean, at no point before I did the bet did I think about losing. I just felt positive and thought about just going ahead and winning. But now I've actually won, I can think about what would have happened if I'd lost. And to be honest, I was crazy to do this bet. It was the maddest thing. I mean, this is really about all I've got left, the tuxedo, which I'm not allowed to keep.

So it was just a mad thing to do. And I'm thinking back now about what would have happened if I lost. I'd have nothing to go back to, nothing to wear. But I'd still have my friends, my family, and they'd always be there for me. So they gave me the security to be able to do this.

But you know, never again. I mean, that's -- it was mad.

COOPER: But what was the initial idea? Did TV producers come to you and say, 'Look, we'll do a documentary about you, we'll do a reality show about you if you do this,' or was this something you thought of?

REVELL: Yeah, it was my idea. I just thought about doing it, and originally my friend was just going ... to film it just for posterity, and suddenly there's a lot of cameras following me. I mean, the basics haven't changed, and that's I sell everything and put it on red or black.

COOPER: I hope you at least put some of it in the bank.

#1 – Who is Ashley Revell, and What’s His Story?

Man Sells All Possessions Roulette Lyrics

Ashley Revell is a man from the United Kingdom who decided to sell all his possessions to bet everything on European Roulette. Had he decided to split his life savings into multiple bets, this story would certainly not make it onto our list. Instead, Revell cashed out his life savings, sold everything he owned and booked a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. His objective was clear: Place everything on red or black.
In true Vegas fashion, Revell wanted an audience, paparazzi, and special terms and conditions from the casino. If he lost the bet, he would walk away with nothing but the shirt on his back. Consider that it’s not a 50/50 gamble when you place a bet on roulette at the casino. The odds of winning are 48.6% on a European Roulette wheel with a single green 0, or just 47.3% on an American Roulette wheel with a green 0 and a 00.
It was April 2004, and Revell was just 32 years of age. When he cashed out everything he had, he managed to scrape up £76,840, the equivalent of around $164,286 today. In Revell’s own words, ‘… I thought what an amazing experience it would be. At the time I wasn’t married, I didn’t have kids. I was completely single. It was now or never.’ Such was the hype around Revell’s decision that Sky One – a TV channel created a miniseries dubbed Double or Nothing.
The venue was the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. At the time, Revel didn’t know whether he would bet on red or black. Ultimately, he placed all his money on red and won – £153,680. What did he do with his winnings? He took a motorcycle trip through Europe, met a girl, got married and had kids! Now, that’s one of the wildest ‘crazy’ casino winners stories!

He fancied the number 17 and decided to place a rather substantial bet on the roulette table. He’s not poor by any stretch of the imagination – he was ranked as the 54th richest man in the United Kingdom at the time.
The total of his bets was around £480,000, including #17. Lo and behold, the roulette wheel came to a stop and Mike Ashley was £1.3 million richer. Rumor has it that the genteel Ashley announced his intentions to leave the table with the following words, ‘That’ll do for me, thanks very much.’ With that, he stood up and headed for the cashier. He left behind a cheering throng of crazed revelers! As far as casino winners stories go, Mike Ashley is right up there with the best of them!

#3 – Marina Medvedeva Wins $100,000 Playing at Another Man’s Machine!

There’s no doubt that casinos conjure up the weirdest scenarios. Imagine this crazy casino winners story: A Florida gambler was feeding money into his slot machine, and he decided to ask the lady next to him to push the button for a little good luck. The lady – Marina Medvedeva – willingly obliged. The machine paid out. Unfortunately for Jan Flato, video footage of the event confirmed that in fact she had pushed the button and was the ‘winner of the money’. Flato claimed that it was his money in the machine and that he should be given the winnings. As it turned out, Medvedeva was paid $50,000 in cash, and $50,000 in a cashier’s check. Flato received nothing for his efforts, except for a little publicity. He said, she said? Either way, she went home $100,000 richer!
