Quote:
A 33 year old British man sold all of his belongings in England except a few of his clothes, the total amount of cash he made selling all of his belongings was about 80,000 pounds or 135,000 dollars in US Cash. With the money he headed to Las Vegas from Great Britain with all of his family friends and supporters. After arriving in Vegas he attempted to bet all of his money at the Hard - Rock Hotel and Casino but was denied. So he decided to go to the Plaza Casino in Downtown Las Vegas, were he was finnaly grated a full bet of his money. He bet all of his money on a roulette game, when he picked red or something. Then in the End he came out and won (He is now offcially rich).

I say he was extremely lucky. You would never catch me betting my entire belongings (although it wouldn't be as much as his).

The odds for winning in such a bet is practically zero!
