Winner of the Day
Remember that British guy who sold everything he had and bet it all on red?
A GAMBLER who staked everything he owned on one spin
of a roulette wheel won 155,000 pounds yesterday.
Ashley Revell sold all his possessions to raise 77,000 pounds - and put
the lot on the ball stopping on red in a Las Vegas casino.
He watched it bobble for several heart-stopping moments before it
landed on red seven, doubling his money.
The Londoner, 32, punched the air with delight and said afterwards:
"That was the most amazing experience ever in my life.
"I can't describe my feelings going through that." His parents were at
the Plaza Hotel and Casino for the amazing bet, shown on Sky One last
night.
Ashley, who tipped a croupier 400 pounds, added: "Itā€™s down to Mum
and Dad. I knew, even if I lost, Iā€™d always have a home to go to."

Pure balls.
