I mean what are the odds? And even though he landed on the small chance of getting it he only doubled it. Still pretty cool

47.368%

Make-believe, eh?

montreal red · 11-24-2009, 01:43 PM

only in macau.. where the roulette table only has 0.. as oppose to 0 and 00.

Kensta335 · 11-24-2009, 02:11 PM

jpsum · 11-24-2009, 02:21 PM

it's all a hype to make people want to gamble, hence his poker site.

Tondtar · 11-24-2009, 02:52 PM

Stop the insanity ...but I guess it's too late already

BTW, "betting your life" or "betting your life savings"? Two totally different things!

FStop7 · 11-24-2009, 02:58 PM

OK, he doubled his money, but it's not like it was millions of dollars. He probably had to pay a shitload of taxes on it, so he probably ended up taking home about $70k or $80k in profit. How is $80k worth risking your life savings of $136k? It's not that much money, relatively speaking.

If all he needed was an extra $80k to start his business, there sure are a lot more reliable ways to raise that money without putting $136k down on a roulette table.

Saying insane is the new cool haha.

I just copied it how it said it on youtube lol.

Haha- that was awesome.

Dudes a wuss, he should have bet on a number....

BMW F22 · 11-24-2009, 06:12 PM

I've always wanted to do that (although probably not with my life saving).

sokdo · 11-24-2009, 07:24 PM

If 136,000 is the value of all your assets + life savings, then yikes

The guy looks like he's in his 20s. How many 20 somethings have a LIQUID net worth of $136K?

I'd say unless you are born into wealth, not many.
