Gambler gambles his life's worth and wins

A man who sold everything he owned to risk it all on a single spin of the roulette wheel in the Plaza Hotel and Casino has left Las Vegas twice as rich.

32-year-old Ashley Revell, from Kent, England, sold all of his possessions to raise cash and risk it all in a one-off bet in Vegas.

Revell raised about $135,300 from selling all his stuff in auctions and car boot sales. He took the money to vegas and put it all on red.

The ball landed on red 7 winning Ashley around $135,000. He punched the air with delight. If the ball had landed on black, Revell would have left Vegas empty-handed.

"That was just the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. The first thing I am going to do is buy some new clothes, some sunglasses, obviously," he said.

"It was just wicked, I mean it was just... I can't describe my feelings going through that. It has just been a complete sort of rollercoaster ride. First it's on, then it's off."

"I just wanted to get the bet over with, and know either way. Obviously, I was feeling lucky, but I just didn't know."

"Really all I am going to do now is chill out, my family are here, my friends are here, so just spend some time with them."
